351. Was Fran Drescher ever a Foto Funnies model? For some reason I have it in my head that that was her back in the mid 70s.
I'm pretty sure that she wasn't. I'm going to mark this as "answered", but if anyone knows otherwise, let me know.

349. I was wondering if you can tell me where I can find a clip of an old radio hour bit that we always imitated back in college. I believe it was a Belushi skit involving stoned out college guys living together and one always complaining that the other had raided the fridge and taken his baloney. He was always referring to "it's my baloney, man". I'm fairly certain it was from the radio hour series. The "it's my baloney, man" became a private joke or saying between my college buddies. I'm also looking for the clip where (I believe it was) Belushi's Craig Baker character recited his own college drinking cheer, something like "Hey hey... hey hey hey". This was also a refrain that we mimicked for years.
I remember the Craig Baker, character, but not either of those bits. If you, dear reader, know the answer, please use the Comments link below.

348. Not sure if your expertise extends this far, but there was an issue in the 1990s that had an article about The Idiot Teens taking a road trip to celebrate the Summer of Love. I'm trying to figure out what issue that was in so I can track it down.
That would be "Road Trip To Glory", by Beryl Sweeney from the August 1991 (Going Places!) issue.

347. I saw this in National Lampoon in late 1974 or early 1975. It was the "Trots and Bonnie" comic strip by Shari Flenniken. In this strip, Bonnie had a dream she was a dominatrix with a harem of men sex slaves. One poor guy was tied to a cross and he said "do you remember the time we made love for three days?" To which she replied "yes, and i might have come if your mother hadn't been there". Another guy was in a cage and he called her a bitch.
Marcel, in the Comments, comes through: "It was in the july 1975 X-rated 3d entertainment issue. So this strip is actually in 3D." Thanks, Marcel!

346. I am remembering a color cartoon featuring some buxom female forest rangers tranquilizer darting Indians to do a study of their migratory habits. What issue was it? I am thinking 1974 and it was on the inside front cover.
Probably not the inside front cover if it was a regular issue. Those were usually paid ads for liquor, cigarettes, or record companies. Maybe in a special issue? I don't have any other ideas. If you, dear reader, know the answer, please use the Comments link below.

345. I have a hazy memory of a full page, single panel cartoon of a wholesome American family in front of their home (depicted in cutaway) illustrating the ways they could make ends meet during the recession, i.e. negligee-clad wife welcoming men into home, son or dad running a gambling operation, the other showing dirty movies, hot sister "entertaining" a host of men. Any idea if this is in any anthologies or in which issue it first appeared?
Kinda seems familiar, but I can't remember. If you, dear reader, know the answer, please use the Comments link below.

344. I remember a world map insert into one of the magazines that had all the countries and a number of cities with very funny names. I remember having it posted on my wall above my desk and would read through the names for a good laugh. But I cannot seem to find it listed as any part of a National Lampoon publication. Any ideas?
Yes, that was one of the funniest things ever--the NatLampCo Map of the World. It was bound into the back of The National Lampoon Encyclopedia of Humor (1973).

343. I recall a short vignette involving an inexpensive motel, but my searches have come up empty. “Would you like windows with that sir? That will be an extra $7” etc. Does this ring a bell? I have the CD, it’s just a matter of finding the right key word.
Sorry. Can't say I remember that one. If you, dear reader, know the answer, please use the Comments link below.

342. There was a story about a toilet in an old house. A house guest spent an inordinate amount of her time in the bathroom. In the end she winds up buying the toilet.
That would be "Pruzy's Pot" by Theodore Sturgeon from the June 1972 (Science Fiction) issue.

341. I read a story about the assassination of Garfield (the cat). It was in the early eighties. (Great writing) Do you know what issue this was?
"The Assassination of Garfield", by Joey Green and Fred Graver, appeared in the March 1983 (Tamper-Proof) issue.

340. I was in a conversation with friends and we were talking about a National Lampoon issue that had a picture of a bicycle seat and a scratch and sniff bar on the seat. If I remember correctly, it was a joke personality test and the article that followed labeled people based on whether they actually tried to scratch and sniff the seat. I’ve narrowed the issue to sometime December 1973 – May 1974.
What you remember is a photo illustration that went with the article "Whiffers and Cooties and Lungers on Strings" by Doug Kenney from the February 1974 (Strange Sex) issue. It's a survey of strange behavior. No personality test, however. No idea where you got that from.
