Cheeseface
_cover_%E2%80%93_January_1973.jpg)
Cheeseface was the name of the dog who featured on the famous Death Issue of the National Lampoon magazine, released January 1973. The cover, photographed by Ronald G. Harris,[1] showed a dog with a gun pointed to his head, and the caption "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog". The cover was voted #7 in the Top 40 Magazine Covers of the Last 40 Years by the American Society of Magazine Editors.[2][3]
In early 1976, an unidentified assailant tracked down Cheeseface to the farm where he lived and killed him. How they did this and their reason for doing so also remain unknown.[4][5]
