ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The first volume of the Harvard Lampoon appeared in February 1876. Written by seven undergraduates and modeled on Punch, the British humor magazine, the debut issue took the Harvard campus by storm. United States president Ulysses S. Grant was advised not to read the magazine, as he would be too much “in stitches” to run the government.
The Harvard Lampoon is also the proud author of the classic parodies Bored of the Rings and Nightlight. Contrary to popular belief, the Lampoon is not responsible for any of Stieg Larsson’s work.
