Thou Shalt Not Laugh?

Monday, November 10th, 2003

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

How many Christians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A. Three, but they’re really only one.

Jeez, that’s hilarious. I’m crying. Oh, my sides.

Christian humor.

An oxymoron, you ask?

Most of the time, yes.

But not so in a tiny niche of the vast Christian publishing empire, where, for the last 30-odd years, the folks at the Door Magazine have managed, against all odds, to find the funny.

Pulp Friction

Thursday, February 13th, 2003

Have you leafed through design magazines such as HOW, ID or Graphic Design USA lately? Within these rags are pages of varying weights ranging from textured card stock to high-gloss metallic paper. I consider them the papyral (is that a word?) equivalent of pop-up ads. They make it impossible to get to the “meat” of the magazine. As you flip through pages, you end up staring at the latest specialty paper touted by XYZ Paper Company. Like pop-up ads, they’re a necessary evil that pays the bills.
