Cheeseface Cover Joke Turned Deadly

In 1973, Cheeseface became the dog on National Lampoon's infamous cover that warned, "If you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill this dog." The cover turned him into one of the magazine's most memorable jokes, built around a fake threat to a real dog. Three years later, an unidentified hunter shot and killed Cheeseface on his owner's farm.
