Humour, Satire, and Graphics

Our Humour & Satire Team is the hub for all things funny. We lack comedic excellence so if you feel like joining this section please do as we need all the help we can get. We also desperately need people to join the Graphics Team, which meets at the same time as our humour meetings. Please draw for us.
We are accepting pitches and submissions at humour@cheesegratermagazine.org.
