The Illustrated Satire Magazine You Thought Had Disappeared

If you grew up reading MAD Magazine or Cracked, you remember when comedy came packed with original artwork, ridiculous parodies, recurring characters and jokes you could hold in your hands.

Flip City carries that illustrated-satire tradition forward with an independent voice built for today. Every issue combines original comics, cartoons, pop-culture spoofs and unapologetic commentary from artists and writers who still believe comedy should be dangerous, surprising and genuinely funny.

What You’ll Find Inside Flip City

  • Full-page illustrations, comic strips and visual gags created by independent artists.

  • Movies, television, celebrities, politics and cultural absurdity receive the Flip City treatment.

  • Collectible full-color issues delivered in print, with subscriptions, back issues and bundle packages available.

Independent. Irreverent. Unfiltered.

“Much funnier than MAD or Cracked because there’s a bite to the humor. The cartoons are great, but the articles are a stitch.”

— Mike Baron, two-time Eisner Award winner
