The Bystander

The Bystander was a British weekly tabloid magazine including reviews, topical drawings, cartoons and short stories. It started in 1903 and its first editor, William Comyns Beaumont, later edited the magazine again from 1928 to 1932.

 It was popular during World War I for its publication of the "Old Bill" cartoons by Bruce Bairnsfather.

It published some of the earliest stories of Daphne du Maurier (Beaumont's niece), as well as short stories by Saki, including "Filboid Studge, the Story of a Mouse that Helped". The magazine ran until 1940.
