Lempert's Lampoon

Lempert's Lampoon is a satirical newspaper of record(ish) — shining a light on the absurd since 1978. THE ARCHIVE Every front page ever published — all 276 issues — in a native archive. Turn pages with a real page curl, pinch to zoom, and roll the dice for a random issue. THE DOSSIER Every issue carries its plaque and a full dossier: the front-page headline, location, closed captioning, the origin post, suggested listening, and any bonus links. THIS WEEK'S PAPER The current edition, bundled in full for offline reading: the front page, the live feed, the games, and the rest of the paper. THE 4-D EXPERIENCE Three floors, no glasses required. The Arcade: twelve games of skill, chance & compliance, each with its dossier. The Sim Center. And The Complete Pressing — every issue's song, in order, played end to end. WIDGETS A rotating front-page widget with its own dice (tap a page to open that issue in the reader), and a national-debt counter. ALWAYS CURRENT New issues and corrections now arrive on their own — the paper keeps itself up to date without waiting for an app update. The whole publication works offline. No account required. The $2.00 on the masthead is part of the joke; the app is free.

Verdict
