I should explain what's in front of Russ Heath in the photo below. It's a copy of a newly-released book on the history of the National Lampoon called Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Writers and Artists Who Made the National Lampoon Insanely Great. Michael Gross, who was that magazine's art director (and from all accounts, design saviour) was at the dinner and he presented Russ, who often drew for the Lampoon, with a copy. Looks like a pretty good book to me and I'm getting one. If you'd like to get one, here's an Amazon link.
