Femme Fatalities Message Board

I just wanted to let everyone know I just uploaded some scans from National Lampoon's "Playdead" parody of Playboy magazine, from the Jan. 1973 issue (the one with the infamous "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog" cover).



The rest of the images from that parody can be found in my Gallery:

Since the theme of that issue was Death, there were a few other pages of interest besides the "Playdead" parody: A collection of cartoons by Charles Rodrigues set in a morgue (I uploaded the only cartoon from that section to feature a female body), and a super-hero parody story "Deadman" by Henry Beard, Neal Adams & Dick Giordano, where a wealthy asshole and his bimbo girlfriend are killed in a car crash (with her hilarious last words: "I don't want to go die-die!").

Thanks for posting this...
I also had this gem when it came out (maybe still have... but buried in my house somewhere ) and I still get a kick seeing it.
Thanks again for sharing D

I had a subscription to that magazine and had that issue. Regrettably they are all long gone, I don't remember what happened to them. I did greatly enjoy it though, particularly the comics section with Cheech Wizard and Dr Frankentein's Monster.

Growing up I always wanted to be a Playboy centerfold. But this looks even more fun!

Well what on earth was stopping you, Yzzy?

I sent photos to them as soon as I was old enough but I never heard back. I guess they didnt want me.

I just found a photo that rang my bell when that issue first came out. I kept that magazine for a decade!...................elsullo

Or perhaps they were just laughing too much....

Mind you, Yzzy, Playboy has since stopped circulating other than an on-line production, and this could well be one of the reasons why...
