Thanks, Chris! I'd forgotten some of these, while most I'd never seen before. McCall's famous "DeSoto Discovers The Mississippi" was in a bicentennial special edition of the National Lampoon IIRC (not one if the regular issues). I'm also reminded now of an equally hysterical piece I believe he did for Playboy in the '70s on unsuccessful aircraft designs. (Now you can search for that, and truthfully tell your wife you're reading it for the articles...)
