GAG ON THIS CARTOONS BY CHARLES RODRIGUES HC

Culled from the pages of National Lampoon, this is Fantagraphics second collection of the work of Charles Rodrigues, one of the most audacious, taboo-busting cartoonists who ever lived. There is no example of human suffering, tragedy, or absurdity that is off limits. The cartoons are hilarious and yet without a drop of rancor, even the chapter titled "Good Ways to Kill a Rock Performer." This is a welcome re-examination of one of the great, under-appreciated and quintessentially American cartoonists.
