HISTORY
Founded in 1899, The Pennsylvania Punch Bowl is the University of Pennsylvania’s oldest and funniest satirical publication. We’re also one of the oldest campus humor magazines in the United States.
Our co-founders, Ed “Burry” Rich and Dan “Deacon” Karcher, were also members of Penn’s now defunct Anti-Co Ed club (which was exactly what it sounds like). We’re sure they’d be very proud of our magazine’s (almost) all-female leadership team today.

Over 120 years later, The Pennsylvania Punch Bowl has joked about everything from the DP and the Vietnam War to Wharton and your mom.
WHAT WE DO
Our magazine publishes three print issues annually and new web content daily. We’re also active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
We hope you like our content, and that you’ll laugh, cry, or achieve enlightenment. Okay, maybe just laugh or cry…
