Once upon a time, National Lampoon was a very funny, sometimes brilliant magazine. Today, it's just a brand name that's slapped on products of indeterminate quality. I suppose it's supposed to suggest that the movie or merchandise has something in common with the hipness of the Lampoon of yore, or its more successful film tie-ins, even though no one involved in them is contributing in any way to the current stuff. Anyway, I thought it might interest someone to know that the spirit of the old NatLamp is hailed and indexed on a very thorough website. It's Mark's Very Large National Lampoon Site. I'm not the Mark that maintains it, though it inspires me to haul out my old issues and browse. Which I'll do as soon as I get
past current deadlines.
