Does anybody remember the cartoon from Nat'l Lampoon of a giant hot dog standing by a mailbox, holding a letter that said, "You may already be a wiener!"?? I have searched high and low, north and south, over and under, everywhere for an image, but no luck. Can the Hive help? Thanx

I have it somewhere. Since I'm in the midst of moving, my ability to locate it is not guaranteed. I'll look.

Big Lanky,
Good catch but that isn't the original from Nat'l Lampoon. The original is just a line drawing and the look on the Hot Dogs face is perfect. It was on a pull out subscription card from the magazine. Thanks though. Search on, HiveMinders.

There's an archive edition of National Lampoon available on DVD-ROM. You may be able to track down a copy at your local library, through an online seller, or, uh, elsewhere on the internet.

I remember that cartoon - it may have appeared on a subscription card in the magazine. I think, based on it's extremely unadorned style, that it may have been one of Ed Subitzky's cartoons. (See also)

Barjo,
That cartoon was most definitely in the style of Subitzky, thanks for the lead.
