From Saul Steinberg’s “View of the World from 9th Avenue” to the Obama family terrorists, you can assemble hundreds of cover illustrations without ever repeating, wasting dozens of hours of your employer’s time (unless you’re a Paste staffer—get back to work!).... read more

In my continuing weekly quest to discover the masters of brevity—so that my constant poring over a Twitter feed is not a complete waste of otherwise valuable time which could be used reading FailBlog (or, you know, working)—here's a look at some of my favorite magazines.
