Text · Il Male Newspaper-Forgery Satire

The graphic voice of Il Male, the Roman satirical magazine of 1978-1982: forged front pages of real newspapers, photomontage and cartoons in a dense tabloid layout. It grew out of the left-wing milieu around the Movement of 1977, in the political tension of the late 1970s, and its fakes were sensational media pranks that could pass for the real paper. Unlike an original satirical tabloid such as O Pasquim, its signature is the counterfeit of an existing newspaper.

1978–1982 · Southern Europe Il Male Newspaper-Forgery Satire The graphic voice of Il Male, the Roman satirical magazine of 1978-1982: forged front pages of real newspapers, photomontage and cartoons in a dense tabloid layout.

Unlike an original satirical tabloid such as O Pasquim, its signature is the counterfeit of an existing newspaper.

A black-and-cream political cartoon centres on an oversized, medal-covered military officer holding a fork and knife around a map-shaped landscape of Brazil filled with forests, trucks and industrial sites. Surrounding scenes show wealthy men with money bags, marching soldiers, distressed civilians, a bishop, a television audience, hillside housing and confrontations between protesters and armed figures.

1969–1991 · Latin America & Caribbean O Pasquim Satirical Press A weekly satirical tabloid from Rio de Janeiro that made cartoonists co-editors: hand-lettered headlines, cartum and caricature, and long interview and chronicle columns on one dense newsprint page. Unlike American underground comix it is a newspaper, with irony and Rio vernacular as cover under military censorship. Its staff were arrested in 1970 and the paper bombed; copying its look is not sharing its risk, nor a decorative retro skin.
