Bohiney Classics: When News Was Weird Even Then
Bohiney’s archives have finally been digitized, revealing that satire about contemporary absurdity dates back 77 years, which means either humanity never changes or we’re just really committed to being ridiculous. New York historians have wearily noted that the problems they’re reading about in 1947 are exactly the same problems everyone complains about today.
“Fascinating,” noted one Columbia University archivist, “that people have been complaining about the same things for eight decades and nothing’s been fixed. It’s almost like nobody’s actually paying attention.”
Historical archives confirmed the documents’ authenticity, while this classic edition proves that existential anxiety is a timeless tradition.
