“I'm holding a national treasure.”
—An actual reader, unprompted, after receiving their last issue. Probably holding it in both hands. Possibly weeping.
Well, we’re doing it again.
Issue #30 of The American Bystander is now available for pre-order. Featuring a brilliant cover by Mark Bryan, it ships May 30, but we recommend ordering early—before they’re gone, hoarded, or mysteriously disappear like so many copies of National Lampoon in a shared apartment.
What You’ll Get:
- 72 pages of new, unfiltered, and deeply unserious comedy.
- Essays, cartoons, and general mischief from our favorite contributors.
- The unmistakable scent of fresh ink and rebellion.
This is real print. Algorithm-free. No clickbait. No trending hashtags. Just funny people doing what they do best—on paper.
Prefer Digital?
We get it. The internet has its charms (mostly archival ones). If you want full access to the latest issue and every back issue, we’ve got you covered:
Still Waiting on Issue #29?
It’s en route. Really. We’ve seen photographic evidence of its arrival in places as far-flung as Idaho and Brooklyn. It’s shipping direct from the printer, so if yours hasn’t arrived yet, keep an eye out and a porch light on.
