'''''Humor Times''''' is an American monthly magazine that "reviews the news" using political satire.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The publication was founded in Sacramento, California by publisher/editor James Israel, with the premiere issue appearing in April, 1991, originally titled the ''Comic Press News''. It features various editorial cartoons, columns by political comedians, a fake news section ala ''[[The Onion]]'', and more.<br />
<br />
The ''Humor Times'' began as the ''Comic Press News'' in April 1991, changing its name with its 16th anniversary issue in April 2007. The name-change was noted in Sacramento's ''[[Sacramento News & Review]]''.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=599876 |title = Paid laughter - News - Local Stories - November 22, 2007| date=20 November 2007 }}</ref><br />
<br />
The publication was distributed free in the Sacramento area for the first 16 years, 9 months, being supported by advertising. The last free issue was the December 2007 edition. It is now available in stores and by subscription, in print or digital formats.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=599876 |title = Paid laughter - News - Local Stories - November 22, 2007| date=20 November 2007 }}</ref><br />
