Measures 8-5/16" X 10-23/32", 16 pp plus covers, b w illustrations, issue #34 (May1962), published by The Realist Association (NY). Group 9-3435 Years before NATIONAL LAMPOON, a modest little "adult satire" underground magazine was born, the brainchild of PAUL KRASSNER, who had decided that MAD MAGAZINE was becoming far too tame, and that more mature adults needed a more controversial and biting satire publication. Borrowing a few chops from MARK TWAIN, H. L. MENCKEN, JONATHAN SWIFT, AMBROSE BIERCE, WILL ROGERS, WALT KELLY and others, Krassner stirred up the contents, and created THE REALIST in 1958; and, current events being what they are, THE REALIST stuck around until 2001, a couple years after Krassner himself had died. Apparently, no one had informed the magazine of his passing.
