As promised, here's the last of this issue of HARPOON. Later this week, I'm going to start posting an issue of CRAZY.

If only more magazines used strips of the past in their funny pages.


See how Justin Green is featured. They seem to have used the underground as much as NL.

Heres a strip by friend of the show Ned Sonntag...

I think "Kathy Taylor" might have been a pseudonym For B.K. Taylor. He was starting to work at LAMPOON at the same time so he might have used a pen name for the competition. He used the name "Jackson Hooker" a couple times when something was particularly dirty.

Since this was their Christmas issue, I'll post it now.

HARPOON was an imitation of NATIONAL LAMPOON that had to change its name to APPLE PIE. LAMPOON's legal department thought the name was too similar to it and the college humor magazine it got its name from, HARVARD LAMPOON. You can see why there would be some confusion.

Notice how they have a lot of mainstream comics people. My friend Lester wrote for them. I should ask him about it.
