A Cult Classic from the Brilliant Minds of National Lampoon

You gotta see this book to believe it! Because its not just written humor or the wild imagination of one Artist. This was a group effort. Sean Kelly, who worked with National Lampoon is the principle writer, but there were many others involved too. You might say it's a comedy skit turned into a books with sculptures and drawings etc too. The Artists took the idea of the Little People ( see Celtic/norse mythology) and then created vinettes with their sculptures /drawings in many odd settings. Then ,of course ,there is the humour, most of which pokes fun at you know ,everyday life. One is the the Household Unfamiliars. There is a Grotesque ,nude creature worthy of Tolkien inside a Real Refrigerator. Blue spots on the bread are a sign that The Household Unfamliar lives in your Frig!It's really strange and fun at the same time! If you like Gorey , you will like this book.!
