The Harvard Lampoon is, depending on your point of view, America's oldest humor magazine or a notorious and dreaded scourge of thoroughbreds. In any case, it has been disseminating jokes, short stories, and cartoons; issuing parodies of magazines, books, and records; perpetrating pranks, stunts, and practical jokes; and accumulating an extraordinary collection of curious, oddities, and droll tales - in good taste and in bad, in profit and in loss, and in sickness and in health, since 1876.
