NATIONAL LAMPOON
During the magazine's most successful Ā years,Ā parodyĀ of every kind was a Ā mainstay;Ā surrealistĀ content was Ā also central to its appeal. Almost all the Ā issues included long text pieces, Ā shorter written pieces, a section of Ā actual news items (dubbed "True Facts"), cartoonsĀ andĀ comic strips. Most Ā issues also included "Foto Funnies" Ā orĀ fumetti. The result was an unusual mix of intelligent, cutting-edge wit, combined with some crass, bawdy jesting.[1]Ā In both cases, Ā National LampoonĀ humor often pushed far Ā beyond the boundaries of what Ā was generally considered appropriate and Ā acceptable. As co-founderĀ Henry Beard described the experience years later: "There was this big door that said, 'Thou shalt not.' We touched it, and it fell off its hinges."
