Brian McConnachie, who was one of the chief contributors to the groundbreaking National Lampoon magazine, a writer on Saturday Night Live and SCTV and also an actor in seven Woody Allen films has died, according to a statement from The American Bystander, which McConnachie founded in 1981.
He was 81. McConnachie became a writer at National Lampoon by sending the magazine a series of badly-drawn cartoons the best (or worst) of which were published.
He later became a writer for the publication, specializing in the absurdist pieces with titles like “Amish in Space” and parodies such as Guns and Sandwiches magazine and Negligent Mother, a takeoff on women’s magazines.
He also penned Kit ’n’ Kaboodle, a Tom and Jerry-esque comic with very real violence. McConnachie went on to become a writer for SNL during the 1978-1979 season and SCTV in 1981, where he won an Emmy for his work.
