There are issues of the actual magazine for sale (used) on Amazon, from Marketplace sellers. If you have the issue number, you can probably find what you’re looking for. ---

> [@Nom\_de\_Plume](#): > > revjo, thank you for the link. I just ordered it. I already had the collection of magazines, but it was worth the $9.95 just for the radio shows. Yeah, no Problem. The radio shows are pretty cool.🙂 ---

I was looking for the text to _Stephen King’s Eggboiler_ about a week ago, and I found an item on [Daily Kos](http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/08/21/1232942/-Every-National-Lampoon-Now-Online-For-Free) that led me to where I wanted to go. ---

I want to say “Big Thanks” for the link to the archive of old _NatLamps_. I’ve gone thru nearly all of those now. It is amazing how much the magazine changed from 72-74. From pretty meh to golden. The addition of the comics section really marks the growth. And the ads! Especially the albums. Tons of “Wow!” classics to “Who were those people?”. And the stereos: Was there a federal law mandating the look of those? OTOH, some of the comics are … a bit much by today’s standards. Especially several of the _Trots and Bonnie_ ones. Can you imagine the stink if a national magazine was sold on newstands with those cartoons nowadays? Bodē _is_ the Cartoon Messiah. ---

Can you imagine the stink if a national magazine was sold on newstands with those cartoons nowadays? . . . You should see the first Trots and Bonnie cartoon, back in Air Pirates. They have sex. Yep. The girl and her dog. Have sex. Captions: “The perfect love.” “The perfect birth-control.” ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Is that a whoosh? National Lampoon had no legal connection with the Harvard Lampoon. Actually, they did. They paid the Harvard Lampoon a yearly fee for the use of the name.
