i remember these...i had a stack of them my uncle had given me from his childhood when i was kid...back then i had no idea what the messages meant but the pix were cool...i stumbled upon them a few years ago at my moms house and good a good chuckle out of them...it's funny how you interoperate things different with age...same thing with music...i've been going back and listening to the stuff i did as a teen and actually listening to the lyrics

Ages ago, that was a funny magazine. Their TV show is funny less than 10% of the time.

Wow...I haven't thought about that mag in years! I used to love it when I was a kid.

Do they even still publish it at all?

It got sold to Newsweek I think many years ago. It remained "independent" for a while after that but the corporate voice started to creep through. IMO it big the big slide when they went to color and then adding the adds sent it to its death knell. I think it is still published but is only a shadow of its former self.

At one point it had the most sought after mailing list of any publication, but the publishers adamantly refused to release the list. Not sure what the situation is now.
