Spy Magazine Available Online
Thanks to this article, I learned that many issues of Spy magazine have become available at Google Books (here). I loved Spy. In the last few years it got much worse but before that I would often read each issue three times. Now you can judge for yourself.

OMG. I thought I read all the comments….Now that I have looked through the comments, I cannot find it.

“Spy” was one of only two magazines that I would habitually read from cover to cover on the day it arrived in the mail (the other one was the “Skeptical Inquirer”).

yes, I left it in an Assorted Links dump when you posted your cartoon taxonomy. Valentine’s Day.
I read Spy pretty fervently. It was great, and then it wasn’t, and then it was gone. I see things in McSweenys that target the approximate demographic and mentality, though Spy seemed to be more Gawkeresque, perhaps?
