With another year closed, we at Weekly Humorist would like to take a moment to reflect on all that has happened in 2023. It’s been an eventful year for us, filled with exciting new projects and growth in our small but mighty brand. Here are some highlights from this past year:
We published our 20th book from Humorist Books and 320 issues of Weekly Humorist Magazine, a milestone that marked a significant expansion of our brand in print media! This year we published What Am I Doing Here?: A Simpsons’ Writer Visits the World’s Hellholes So You Don’t Have To by Mike Reiss and Denise Reiss, Limerature 101: Literary Classics in Five Lines or Less (With Pictures), by Lance Hansen, The Lobster Heist by Erin McLaughlin, Attack of the Rom-Com by Martti Nelson, and The History of Human Achievement: A Beezle, Buzzle, & Barb Book, by Brandon Hicks. Our slate of books for the new year is packed with massive talent and we can’t wait for you to read them!
In the realm of auditory entertainment, we continued to produce the cult-hit show The Cartoon Pad podcast with the the very funny Bob Eckstein & Michael Shaw, our flagship comedy interview show Talkward, & The Official Dream Dinner Party Podcast. Coming out soon will be our newest podcasts FUNNY BOOKS hosted by our books editor, the wonderful Brian Boone and STRONG STREAM hosted by Marty Dundics, where we will dive into what to watch and skip.
Social media, an instrumental platform for our brand, witnessed substantial growth this year. We not only increased our followers but also saw more active engagement from our community than ever before. Our cartoons have become a regular source of joy for many on their social feeds. The world of cartooning is finding a massive audience direct to users, even as we see more and more newspapers sadly abandon them.
Lastly, we had the pleasure of working as a producer on our first feature film. This venture into the cinematic world was an invigorating experience for our team and marked another significant achievement for Weekly Humorist and Humorist Media! Can’t wait to get to spill more beans on that exciting project!
