The American Bystander is the country's preeminent humor magazine. In each issue, we explore the funniest corners of American life with sharp writing, original illustrations, and an unapologetic eye for the absurd.

In Issue #27, we've got articles on everything from the guy who invented the theme party, to "Jonah", the disingenuous baby. Plus, our new food column, "Food is Stupid", by Dennis Lee. And don't miss "The General", by Adrien Bonenberger. Plus, of course, our usual selection of cartoons.

As a bonus, we're including our annual Holiday Issue, #28, featuring Ron Hauge's 2023 in Review, and an exclusive interview with cartoonist Ed Subitzky.

If you're looking for a laugh, look no further than The American Bystander. But don't look back, because another issue of The American Bystander might be gaining on you.
