Farewell, Men's Magazines!

In Hustler we always looked forward to the cartoon about the older couple. I'll be damned if I can think of their names right now, neither can hubby.

Funny how we used to crack up to them when first started reading the magazine now we can relate...

I can't help but wondering exactly "how dead" print truly is. I mean, there's nothing quite like having a magazine in your hands to flip through - men's, women's, hobby/interest-based or whatever. Great for when you can't be online or just to look through the pictures and ads in-print - faster info is great, but even the Internet can't be all things to all people.

I've noticed that rather than rolling over and dying at the first call of "print is dead" that a lot of publications have made changes/improvements and made subscription costs lower, adding more advertisements and more online interactivity, printable online items and more. I don't know that I'd start playing taps or not yet - even for men's magazines. I think it's just time for a change.
