TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION: CARTOONS FROM STEREO REVIEW By CHARLES RODRIGUES. Trade paperback, 1st and only edition, published by Perfectbound Press, 1988 Charles Rodrigues was a cartoonist for almost the entirety of "National Lampoon"'s history. His strips were weird, and often very gross. He would do the most awful things featuring dwarves, Siamese twins, amputees, corpses, abortions, people in a coma communicating through farts. The king of bad taste, but I'm afraid I really do like him. He also played around with the form quite boldly. Sometimes he would be half-way through a strip in an issue, get bored, kill everyone off and start a new strip, there and then. Rodrigues also provided cartoons for the "Realist" and "Stereo Review". His cartoons for "Stereo Review" were nowhere near as gross, but still over the top hilarious, and seem to be very fondly remembered - they were collected in "Total Harmonic Distortion" (1988). Over 100 extremely wicked cartoons attacking the luna-tics of those who pursue audiophile sound to the exclusion of their membership in the human race, and those close to them who suffer! HA! 128 b&w 6.25x7" pages plus covers. Condition is NEAR MINT [basically never opened or read, like you are buying it new in 1988]! SUPER-RARE! [sadly, there are no books collecting his most un-PC work from NatLamp. sigh. read more
