National Lampoon's Sunday Newspaper Parody by P. J. O'Rourke, John Hughes, John E. Huges

From the Publisher

Dateline:

Dacron, Ohio, Sunday, February 12, 1978 (Motor Home Capital of the World)

Now in a vibrant tabloid format, the Dacron, Ohio Republican-Democrat, one of America's newspapers, returns with a complete Sunday edition of all the news that's unfit to print. With stories and photos that are as remarkably plausible today as they were in 1978, the Republican-Democrat is littered with grade-A-quality humor.

Including National News, Local News, and More Local News, a Sports Section, Entertainment, Television Listings, Travel, Real Estate, Gardening, Your Pet, Women's Pages, Classified Ads, a Swillmart Discount Store Advertising Supplement, a Parade Magazine Parody, a Sunday Week Local Magazine, and Eight Pages of Comics, it will take you back in time even if you were never there to begin with.

Any fan of The Onion will discover its recipe for success-take National Lampoon's Sunday Newspaper, rejigger the news to reflect today's absurdity, and maintain the National Lampoon's pitch-perfect mimicry of editorial and design. Ask any comedy writer at work today, and she or he will tell you that National Lampoon's 1964 High School Yearbook and National Lampoon's Sunday Newspaper are the sine qua non of written humor.

Comments from the Seller: New York 1978 Paperback First Edition Very Good This is the original version of the classic Newspaper parody. All sections and wrapper present. Difficult to find intact. Slight yellowing to newspaper, as usual. One of the funniest things ever written! Great double-feature with the NATIONAL LAMPOON HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK, as many characters from the previous work show up here. What was Wing Ding Weisenheimer up to in 1978. Your chance to find out. Worth it for the fake classified ads alone. You'll laugh till you cry, then laugh some more, then probably want to get something to eat, and then maybe some more crying, laughing, crying, eating...then bedtime.
