NATIONAL LAMPOON

During the magazine's most successful
 years, parody of every kind was a
 mainstay; surrealist content was
 also central to its appeal. Almost all the
 issues included long text pieces,
 shorter written pieces, a section of
 actual news items (dubbed "True Facts"),
cartoons and comic strips. Most
 issues also included "Foto Funnies"
 or fumetti. The result was an unusual mix of
intelligent, cutting-edge wit, combined with
some crass, bawdy jesting.[1] In both cases,
 National Lampoon humor often pushed far
 beyond the boundaries of what
 was generally considered appropriate and
 acceptable. As co-founder 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."
