My final issue (for awhile) with a cover that I just don't understand. It was probably just time to go.
See issue #12 here.

Yet another parody of Big Oil. What can I say? It was just soooo easy. My favorite bit was the subtle tag line of who paid for the ad after stating there was no collusion by the oil companies. Wait, did I just explain the joke? Nuts.
My final bit. My contribution to the Election Coverage section they ran, part of a parody of "The Nation" magazine.
This was a changing of the guard issue, as the founding fathers of The Plague had now all graduated from NYU. With me having set the example of not letting graduation prevent me from contributing, they also hung around.
While the next issue lists me as a contributor, I really don't see anything in it that's mine. I think I wrote a "List of Liszts" for their Book of Knowledge section, which originally was supposed to be called the big book of lists. So I wrote a list of Liszt family members. I'm mentioned in the next couple of issues, too, yet have nothing in there that I recall or recognize. There came a falling out after issue 15 or so. The new guys did an interview with the college newspaper and said some unflattering things about the early issues. Some of us (not all) wrote a snarky letter to the editor in rebuttal. And, as there were some disagreements about even writing a letter within the grads, the various factions fell away from each other and post-collegian life began in full.
