Modern Humorist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modern Humorist is a humor webzine started in 2000, founded by John Aboud and Michael Colton (who later became panelists on VH1's Best Week Ever). A competitor of the more popular Onion, Modern Humorist stopped publishing new material in 2003. The site's archives remain online and free to the public.
It was nominated for a Webby award in the Humor category in 2001 and in 2004, losing to The Onion both times.
An interview with the founders is available at Gelf Magazine.
