Puss Magazine

A satirical magazine called "Puss" emerged from Stockholm by a group of Swedish artists in 1968. The leftist magazine used political satire to comment and criticize the U.S. government's intervention in Vietnam and Sweden. The magazine's punk design served as a direct rejection of the recently established Bauhaus design rules in Europe. 

Puss magazine pages feature radical illustrations, collages, caricatures, and a common motif of kisses and lips, since “puss” translates to “kiss”.  The radical punk presentation of this magazine led to expressed disgust from right-wing leaders and mainstream media in Sweden during the 60s-80s time period. 

There were only a total of 24 magazines ever issued, selling 10,000 copies out of all the issues. Notable illustrators of Puss magazine include Lars Hillersberg and Lena Svedberg.
