NSFW. NSFW. NSFW. nothing sexual, it's considered very racially insensitive, not racist, just insensitive.

Well, I guess I'm racially insensitive, cause that made me laugh.

Of course, I read National Lampoon when P.J. O'rourke edited it.

Eh, it didn't make me laugh, but only because it wasn't all that funny, not because of any insensitivity. But some of the verbal descriptions in the obit sounded pretty good.

I wasn't aware of him by name, and certainly not by backstory, but the style looks familiar. Kind of New Yorker meets Hustler.

I like this one and it was one of the few I could find to hotlink that was somewhat safe for work.

Wow, I knew JC's work but never knew any of the backstory. Thanks for the Post link...

Of Callahan, friend Gary Larson himself said: "There are two basic reasons I enjoy Callahan's work so much: First, I think his cartoons are just plain funny; second, he makes my own work seem normal."

haha some of this stuff is funny...
