My Favorite Cover

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.

This image caught my eye because of the guy holding a gun to a dog. Also the cover line is extremely messed up yet interesting. I also want to know how much backfire this got unless it was apart of the subject.
