Q. Which National Lampoon issue has the photo of Jerry Lewis in a wheelchair, just like one of his MDA kids?

A. That would be the October 1975 (“Collector’s Issue”) issue. The article, “The Tenth Circle” by Tony Hendra, Sean Kelly, and Peter Kleinman, depicts various famous people getting their “just desserts.” The others were Jimmy Connors, John Denver, and Euell Gibbons.
