Have you ever wanted something so badly that you almost gave up hope and then–suddenly, when you'd almost resigned yourself to the impossibility of it–it happened? Anyway here's Issue 29, available now for pre-order: theamericanbystanderstore.co…

We’re a nonprofit now. Your donations fund print comedy, literary jokes, and the fight against disposable humor. Join the cause: flipcause.com/secure/cause_p…

Nonprofit status doesn’t mean we’re not funny; it just means we’re now *professionally* underfunded. flipcause.com/secure/cause_p…

In the grand tradition of storied institutions that started as a joke and ended up asking for money, The American Bystander is now a nonprofit. Yes, that's right. Issue 29 is going to press next month. We're so back. Want to help keep print comedy alive? shorturl.at/hDvSS
