This reminded me of the old UK mag, Bizarre. Was full of the weirdest shit you could think of; was great!

Hardly any of these "kasutori" magazines have ever been digitised. Here's the only full scan that I know of. This is the first ever kasutori magazine, published in 1946 (it shares the title with the one in this post but they are unrelated).
Also here's an article about this type of magazine: https://www.grimoireofhorror.com/the-yurei/kasutori-magazines/

Reminds me of some of Kurt’s art.
I wonder if he ever saw this.
darkamyy OP t1_jbslk3g wrote
I think both Kurt and this artist were inspired by Amedeo Modigliani
