National Lampoon cartoonist finally gets his due in this collection of his gross and hilarious cartoons. Fantagraphics is proud to announce the release of the first volume of another great, underappreciated, quintessentially American cartoonist. Black as sin and decay and perversion is how National Lampoon editor Tony Hendra described the work of Charles Rodrigues. By all accounts, this small, politically conservative, devout Catholic, was a goodnatured dumpling of a man. But inside lurked an untapped vein of savage wit that only the National Lampoon saw fit to unleash. Given carte blanche by its young editors, Rodrigues produced a 20year tsunami of hilarious selfcontained comic strips, themed gag spreads, and serials that boggled the mind and challenged all sense of decency and propriety. In this firstever collection of his comics, readers are treated to the misadventures of conjoined twins The Aesop Brothers; Sam deGroot, a private detective in an iron lung (whose life actually gets worse when he is sprung from his enclosure); Deirdre Callahan, a girl so hideous that to look upon her causes madness and suicide; and the heartwarming (in relative terms) titular tale of Ray and Joe, the saga of a man and his dead best friend. Also included are his brilliant biographies of Marilyn Monroe, Abbie Hoffman, Eugene ONeill, and others. Rodrigues rendered his cast of grotesqueries and naifs in a ragged, unpretty line within dense panels and pages, that perfectly reflects his uniquely bizarre, riotous and repellent world. Charles Rodrigues may be gone and, if not forgotten, insufficiently remembered, and this collection will rectify at least one of those tragedies. Black & white illustrations throughout
