If you're creating this for a Quark tutorial, it's reasonable to assume that it will most frequently (if not always) be seen in the context of "someone learning Quark" rather than "accidentally winds up on newsstand or coffee table." So I don't think you need to put it on the cover.

If you are parodying a magazine, then a magazine has a _colophon_, which is a statement in fine print giving information about the authors, publisher, circulation, etc. If you don't want to go that far, at the very least your magazine should have a _masthead_ listing all the staffers (whether they're real or parody is up to you). I would include your disclaimer in at least 9 pt. type in one of those two spots.

_[This part is probably more than you need to know, but the best parodies are the ones which parody the most details, so:]_ A masthead is usually placed towards the front of the magazine, but not the first few pages (those are too valuable to waste on house material; they're usually ads). The masthead, and TOC, are usually in the first 10 percent of the magazine. The colophon can be at the bottom of the masthead or on the bottom of the last page, depending on whether your last page is featured content or the last of the small ads.
