The Caveman

The Caveman

"The Caveman" is the humor magazine published by undergraduate students at Wabash College, one of two four-year all-male colleges in the United States. The Caveman authors and editors work together to satirize their college and the larger world.

History

"The Caveman" was first published at Wabash College in 1919. The magazine contained much short fiction, parodies of professors and great works of literature, and copious dirty jokes. This format remained consistent through the late 1960s when Wabash College President Byron K. Trippet shut down the magazine for being too "pornographic." President Trippet is known by oral legend to have declared "If a thing has more than one meaning, it's comedy. If a thing has only one meaning, it's pornography."

The Caveman resurfaced at various times over the next forty years, occasionally under the title of "Barrickman's Revenge", in honor of Basil Barrickman, the first student expelled from Wabash College.

Today

In April 2006, "The Caveman" was again revitalized thank to the efforts of then-sophomore Tom Elliott, along with the help of his associates Tim Rickard and Homer Twigg. The trio wrote, edited, and laid-out much of that first issue. As of the time of their graduation in 2008, Mssrs. Elliott and Rickard have not selected replacement editors, and campus rumor suggests they may attempt to keep the magazine to produce independently next year.

Student interest in the magazine rose sharply in response to that first issue. "The Caveman" was admitted into Wabash College's Board of Publications in September 2006, a measure which ensures the magazine will have adequate funding and resources as long as student interest remains high.
