Do you think improv has crossed that tipping point and is now accepted viable, mainstream entertainment? Yeah, I think it's been accepted. The fact that it's been mocked shows that it's been accepted. We don't have to explain what it is anymore. As far as I knew when I was in college, I was in one of the few college improv troupes. Now, every college has multiple improv troupes. High schools have improv troupes. Every city has some kind of improv community. And the big cities have dozens of improv theaters.

"Different approaches to satire do not translate well across national borders, nor often does the subject matter. But if ever there were a case to be made for the universality of satire itself, allow this compilation of satirical magazines to lay a humble foundation. Discover we’re not so different after all! You know, aside from linguistically, historically, culturally, economically, etc.

Whatever your intentions, please enjoy perusing these humor periodicals from around the world."
