Michael Gross, art director of National Lampoon from 1970 through 1974, is alive and well and living in Oceanside, California, where he is a curator at the Oceanside Museum of Art. I've (finally) added his bio to the Staff & Contributors section.

What's He Doing Here? 
Quite a few back issues of National Lampoon are on sale at The Mad Store, according to proprietor Scott Gosar, pictured at left. He's the one shoving the Idiot™ into the trash can.

CD Review Magazine featured a sampler CD of bits from National Lampoon Radio Hour in the early '90s, according to reader Robert Thompson. This was five years before the Rhino boxed set appeared. Anyone out there ever seen one of these?

Answer #52.National Lampoon Show alum Sarah Durkee dropped me a line recently to answer question #52 on the Answers page: Who was in the troupe that toured in spring of 1978?
In addition to appearing in the touring productions of "That's Not Funny, That's Sick!" and "If We're Late, Start Without Us," Sarah has also worked as a writer on projects and kids' TV shows with Lampoon veterans Chris Cerf, Henry Beard, and Sean Kelly. She also married Paul Jacobs, the musical director of the original Lemmings. She was also a co-writer with Beard, Kelly, and Cerf on "The Book of Sequels" (1991), which wasn't a National Lampoon publication, but "sure felt like one, given that we were all Lampoon alums to one degree or another." David Kaestle was art director as well.
Sarah is curious about whatever happened to her fellow actors from the tours. If you know, let me know.

I've Been Blogged.Mark's Very Large National Lampoon Site now has a more flexible system for delivering you, the crazed and aging NatLamp fan, the latest information about this site and the world of National Lampoon.
It's a spiffy little content management system for weblogs (also known as "blogs") called Movable Type. If you've never heard of "blogs" or "content management systems," don't worry. The main thing is that I will be able to update Mark's Very Large National Lampoon Site in a simpler and more timely fashion. At least in theory.
