The Bwog
QuickJester: Tragicomic Transformations Edition
This year's final issue of the Jester hit the internet a few days ago and will hit newsstands Thursday — you may have received an email from Jesterbot informing you of such. The theme of the issue, as you might have immediately noticed from the front cover, is Tragedy. Editor in Chief David Iscoe explains, "We made an issue of a humor magazine devoted to Tragedy, and we believe that the cover is appropriate for such an issue."

On to the Quick-ing:


The defining question of the post-(Civil) War era (page 6)

A dream, not deferred, but flat-out rejected (page 7)

Isn't the real tragedy the absence of Gmail? (page 11)

Come not between Bertrand Russell and his wrath (page 12)

Confess your sins, brought to you by the US Postal Service (page 14)

A veritable brawl between the houses of Armstrong and Armstrong (page 15)

The anguish of the human condition, all a'twitter (page 25)

Because they're sooooo similar, not in terms of theme and content mind you, but because we so love them both. Hugs all around.

jesterFirstly, Jester (with a cool new website!):

"Constant, murderous raping" (page 8)

Children: they're not that special! (page 9)

The most useful thing Jester has ever published (page 14)

National stereotyping, with guns! (page 20)

Morton Williams ad not very funny (page 25)

Y'know, I was wondering that myself. I mean, they really shouldn't be able to, should they? But then again, they wouldn't really be exploiting or causing pain to another living creature--quite the opposite, in most situations. What say you, vegans? (page 26)

And lastly:

It's the OxyClean that does it for me

White people: a field guide

The most useful thing the Fed has ever published

Guns!

Escorts!

And enough general hilarity to brighten up a morbidly gray, late November afternoon!
