Best Magazines Covers Of 2014 And The Last 40 Years
National Lampoon quickly grew in both popularity in 1970s, when it regularly skewered pop culture, counterculture and politics with recklessness and gleeful bad taste. The notorious January 1973 shot of a human hand holding a revolver to the head of a docile-looking dog, who suspiciously eyes the firearm with a sideways glance, was photographed by Ronald G. Harris and is the magazine's most memorable cover.
Critique
It’s funny how the cover line threatens to kill the dog unless you buy their magazine. The way the dog acts is really funny, looking side wards looking anxiously at the revolver. The cover doesn’t have much because the main focus is about the dog and the gun. I like how there is not many words to distract the view from the picture. Like other pictures this one doesn’t have a million text and captions and title everywhere.
