Heeb, the premiere magazine of condescending, irreverent, obnoxious hipster Jews, has decided to suspend its print edition. The post, by founder Josh Neuman, notes that Heeb managed to grow and expand its reach and range during this disastrous decade for print media:
During the eight years we’ve printed the magazine, we’ve managed to endure the death of irony, the death of independent publishing and the death of print advertising (not to mention a barrage of ongoing attacks from Holocaust deniers, white power groups and perhaps most frighteningly, Abe Foxman).
Neuman reassures readers that Heeb’s events, including its Christmas Eve bash, will continue, and encourages us all to check out the magazine’s relaunched website, which looks nice.
I’m sure Heeb will continue to succeed as an online-only product, though I am sorry that their quality print product is gone, and all I can say to them is: Welcome to the club.
