Our kickstarter for the next issue is one third the way home! I'm going to sweeten this deal:

All donors will have the chance to appear in the "Lies we'd like you to believe" section of Issue 4. Become (relatively) famous!!

Ok, so we're not gonna hit the end of Hanukkah deadline either. But you knew that already. We have chosen the artwork though, and need to go through the contract process. This Office Holiday Party will be worth it. We promise.

@_Rae_Knowles Sometimes the face masks get stuck together.

@mrstability Yes, I just went and changed it, so you should be able to message us now. Thanks for letting us know about that!

[The Maul @MaulMagazine]

We haven't gotten responses to some solicitations for art for our next issue. We pay $100. We need a holiday cover in the next few days. Please DM us if interested.

[The Maul @MaulMagazine]

@mrstability Yes, but also let me see if I can fix my settings. I did not set things that way.

[The Maul @MaulMagazine]

Happy Hanukkah!

Fake Maul History #11

[The Maul @MaulMagazine]

The Maul tried going exclusively online in 1996. When it became clear that their main readership, bohemians living in Greenwich Village, weren't interested in buying Gateways en masse, the magazine played off the conversion as a publicity stunt for Brentano's.

In 1946, The Maul joined efforts to help horror magazines become more prominent overseas. Slight embarrassment and some lost per diems were the main casualties of the editors discovering that they were already extremely popular.

In 1979, The Maul was in hot water when it published a vignette criticizing the ERA. It was later revealed the slight was actually aimed at the Oakland A's, but readership never truly recovered to its Golden Age numbers.

Mid 19th-century, and the meds section of The Maul is all but obsolete. The copyrighted logo and writing team are bought by the Paltrow Family, in the hopes that someone will eventually run a hygiene wing. The trademark phrase "These meds don't work!" Is also purchased.

In 1862, President Lincoln condoned The Maul as "less pleasant than the cheapest tripe." The Maul ran the tagine "As Seen in the Oval Office!" for the next decade.

The Maul ran short fiction for the first time in 1922. James Joyce wrote a delightful romp that turned violent when some teenage girls tried to voice opinions about the Monarchy during their oratory, only to find out the nun running the class was the ghost of Sherwood Anderson.

In 1867, The Maul began running non-medical adverts. The first was for a barn-raising competition in Akron, which most will know as the infamous Splinter Fest (casualty count unknown).
