The American Bystander Vol. 3 No. 1, No. 9, Fall 2018
Not-A-Digest Dept: Although slightly delayed, Editor/Publisher Michael Gerber has done it again, with the latest issue of America’s premier humor magazine. The sheer volume of talent inside is remarkable, including indie cartoonist favorites like Rick Geary and Jim Siergey.
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.
