The Beauty of a Snarky Jab: Spy at Twenty

A great review from Print this month of the new book, Spy: The Funny Years. It’s by Michael Musto, one of the people who Spy magazine, blessed be its long departed soul, would occasionally pick on from time to time — so he’s got great insight as to why the magazine still remains such an important milestone in publishing and, well, let’s say, tone. Where did all this snark come from that you read nearly everywhere (we’re looking at you, blogs)? Well, it was around before hand, but Spy made it cool and certainly changed the culture to deem it necessary.
