Did you know the Ghostbusters logo and the "If You Don’t Buy This Magazine, We’ll Kill This Dog" National Lampoon cover were designed by the same person?
It was Michael C. Gross, something I learned reading, unfortunately, the obituaries.

Henry Beard:
"This very talented comedian named Ed Bluestone came to the office in 1972 with the line, “If you don’t buy this magazine, we’ll kill this dog.” The next day Michael found a dog who would turn its eyes away from a pistol, with a little prodding. I saw this picture and simply couldn’t believe it. And it was like with a wave of his left hand. Magic. So that’s the type of thing that made all the success possible."
RIP Doug Kenney and Michael O'Donaghue.

Turn its eye away?
Oh well... at least PJ's still around.
That dog-gone cover.
The ad with the floating Volkswagen Bug and the text, "If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be president today."
The highly publicized article "A Woman's View of Sex" that turned out to be a photo of the bedroom ceiling.
Ahh, youth.
I miss the days of classic liberalism, with guys like John Hughes at National Lampoon.
We always learn so much in the obituaries.
