Lucky No. 13 features writers from Late Night with David Letterman, The Simpsons, The New Yorker, MAD, SPY and National Lampoon, as well as illustrations and cartoons from Sam Gross, Emily Flake, Peter Kuper, Mike Reiss, Rick Geary, Jim Siergey, and 60 others. Full-color, large format (8.5×11) and 80 pages, The American Bystander No. 13 will stun any rodent.
The best in independent humor magazines is now available in its twelfth issue.
Apparently I didn’t get my change of address in quick enough, but the eighth issue of Michael Gerber’s excellent The American Bystander has arrived at last.
