I was never a huge Nat Lamp reader (I got into it early 80s-ish when  
I started high school) but will say that the issue-length OC & Stiggs  
tale is one of the funniest things I've ever read and a cherished  
copy remains in my library to this day. Altman's cinematic attempt  
has its moments but never really captures the destructive anarchy of  
the mag.
