In 1958, Paul Krassner launched The Realist, a satirical counterculture newsletter that decades later was a major inspiration to me personally as a young journalist and also to Mark Frauenfelder and Carla Sinclair when they created the bOING bOING print 'zine in 1989. As Mark said a few years ago, The Realist was "a freak's version of Mad magazine." In fact, the first issue was created at the Mad headquarters!
