When you want to laugh away your worries there is perhaps no better medicine than reading through an issue of the Viz magazine. Originating in 1979 this leading British humor magazine focuses on funny jokes and cartoon characters which have become extremely popular with the readers over the years. The magazine’s producers are based in Newcastle, England. With its growing acceptance amongst readers however it very soon faced challenges as competitors surfaced and sales subsequently plummeted sharply in 2009. Another cause behind the sales decline was perhaps the hike in price of the magazines as they became monthly issues.
