The Humor Issue
This issue is sure to make readers laugh. It features previously unpublished excerpts from Mark Twain's autobiography as well as an interview with New Yorker cartoonist Mike Twohy, MFA '73.
 Also included: an online joke recommender; famed folklorist Alan Dundes, a.k.a. "the Joke Professor"; and a remembrance of the campus humor magazine, The Pelican, by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll.
