Woodstock, IL: Percheron, 1999. First Edition. Softcover. “Gargoyle, the University of Michigan campus humor magazine – founded in 1909 – this year celebrates its 90th birthday making it one of the oldest surviving college humor publications.” (From introduction pg. 5) Marking the 90th anniversary, former Gargoyles (staff) came together to compile the best of the best in this Collector’s Edition of Gargoyle Laughs at the 20th Century. Editor and compiler, John Dobbertin Jr., has crafted a truly remarkable anthology, including some of the first published works of famous playwright Arthur Miller (1915-2005), Bonnie and Clyde’s co-writer David Newman, renowned cartoonist George Lichty, and many more — big names and small names alike! University of Michigan’s Gargoyle continues just as it did before, and hopefully one day there will be a Gargoyle Laughs at the 21st Century written by the big and small of this century! It is an absolute goldmine of humor and wit, commentary of campus life and American life alike, and all from Third Mind’s neighboring institution and Ann Arbor's heart, the University of Michigan.
