RIP Gahan Wilson

Forums:

One of those instantly recognizable styles.

89.  A good run.

Still have your Playboy collection?

GFY, Troll.

 

He was iconic, smart, so good at his craft.

<Still have your Playboy collection?>

I think most of the VivaZone demographic would relate more to GW's work in National Lampoon. Good stuff.

(Unless FW you were intentionally being snarky, implying it was somehow embarrassing for Bluesnote to be a collector of vintage print pornography and a chronic masturbator.)

Along those same lines, no need to cuss Bluesnote.... it would be more creative to have retorted, "Still have your National Lampoon collection?"

So besides the cartoons,  GW wrote several works of fiction.

The only one I've read is Everybody's Favorite Duck.

It's a masterpiece of contemporary Literature,  ca. 1998.

Maybe 1988 ?

Wonder if Wilson did any album covers besides You Should See The Rest Of The Band .

 

Alan:  Everyone's older brother (and a few sisters) had a Nat'l Lampoon subscription.

I had the That's Not Funny; That's Sick polo shirt.  For about three washings.  Probably should have line-dried it.

Mad Magazine (elementary school) > National Lampoon (jr high) > High Times (sr high)

No wonder my generation (post original Playboy, Zap Comics era) is so warped -- Hey, at least we got ya some legal, weed that you don't have to clean!​

While waxing nostalgic, don't forget another great 70s comic alongside the Wilson stuff in National Lampoon...Cheech Wizard:
