When I was a teenager, my best friend and I got hold of an old typewriter and we created editions of a magazine with humorous articles and jokes. We named it "UBBA" Magazine based on a running joke.
In the early 90s, I ended up owning an electronic typewriter and decided to resurrect UBBA Magazine, writing numerous columns from the point of view of fictional characters. I even included mock interviews with real celebrities. However only my friends got to read this magazine.
20 years later I resurrected UBBA Magazine, this time in the form of an Internet magazine. I produced 22 editions this time around!
Each edition is chocker block full of funny and wacky articles. So if you want some laughs just click on one of the issues below (or off to the left side) and start reading.
Remember it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's a JOKE magazine.
