A good variety in this edition of Quipsologies.
A propos of last week’s election results, as the French rejected the European Union constitution — a collection of posters from May 1968.
On y reste… Back in Quipsologies Vol. 4, we linked to editor Frédéric Royer’s claims that the third issue of his satirical magazine, l’Anti-Américain, would not be printed following a visit from mysterious agents. Last week I received a mass email from M. Royer; announcing that both issues are now available on the web.
A few days after the French voted ‘Non’, the Dutch voted ‘Nee’. Here are two interesting graphics from the campaign:
On the left, a logo from the left-wing Comité Grondwet Nee, led by journalist Willem Bos.
A PDF file of the poster is available here.
On the right, the logo of Dutch under-minister for European Affairs, Atzo Nicolai’s website. When read sideways, the ‘E’ becomes a ‘nl’ for ‘Netherlands’.
A great collection of anonymous secrets mailed on homemade postcards. [Thanks to Antonio for the link]
