Ed Subitzky - National Lampoon Magazine

National Lampoon Magazine

Subitzky ended up doing a great deal of work for National Lampoon magazine, including primarily comic strips, cartoons, and humor writing.

The connection was first established in 1972, when contributing editor Michel Choquette of National Lampoon magazine visited the SVA cartooning class that Subitzky was in (p. 47, Levin, 2009). Choquette took a liking to Subitzky's work, and brought him over to the offices of National Lampoon.

Subitzky subsequently became a long-term contributing editor; one or more of his comic strips, cartoons, and written articles appeared in almost every issue of the magazine. In September 1974 he guest-edited the "Old Age" issue of the magazine. His name remained on the masthead of National Lampoon all through the 70s, through the decline of the magazine in the 1980s, and almost up to the point of its eventual demise.
