''The Wasp'' was a weekly satirical magazine based in San Francisco. ==Background== ''The Wasp'' was founded as a weekly satire magazine by the Bohemian expat Francis Korbel and his two brothers in San Francisco in 1876.〔(The Wasp: Stinging Editorials and Political Cartoons )〕〔 The first issue was published on August 5, 1876. The magazine was somewhat unique at the time, owing to the Korbels' expertise in mass-producing color lithographs in print, a process they had come to master in their first business, the manufacture of labeled cigar boxes. The magazine was sold in secret in 1881 to Charles Webb Howard, who hired Edward C. Macfarlane as publisher. Ambrose Bierce was hired as editor soon afterward, serving in that role from January 1, 1881 until September 11, 1885. During Bierce's editorial tenure, ''The Wasp'' published his column "Prattle" and several serialized installments of his satirical definitions later collected as ''The Devil's Dictionary''. Political cartoons from ''The Wasp'' are often cited in Asian-American anti defamation materials as an example of early stereotyping of Chinese immigrants.〔 With the following name changes the magazine ran from August 5, 1876 to April 25, 1941.〔Edward E.
