Remember Vaughn Bode?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

He did some of the most incredible anti-war material I've ever seen, and his Erotica and Cheech Wizard (Cheech was seen in National Lampoon) was unique and awesome. His son is still carrying on in his memory.

Artists like Vaughn are too rare and precious to forget, but I haven't seen or heard his name mentioned in years.

2. Vaughn But Not Forgotten

was National Lampoon's memorial article.

3. No one could kick...

...another cartoon character in the balls like ol' Cheech Wizard...

And those nubile lovelies he always had around him! For a man who existed inside of a hat, he was all I wanted to be when I was 16....

4. Yes, along with "Trots 'n' Bonnie", "Politeness Man", "Nuts"...

"Dirty Duck"
Screw The New Yorker
The National Lampoon of the 1970s was the greatest magazine EVER!
RIP, M O'D

I used to LOVE that magazine... :cry:

7. So what the hell did he die from, anyway?

I've seen only vague references.

8. Autoerotic asphyxiation

His son makes note of it on his web site (linked to in OP)

9. Thanks. I guess I wasn't paying attention. Seems a pointless way

to go, yes? Though Cheech Wizard would likely have approved.
