Hara-Kiri No.119 (Août 1971), the iconic French satirical monthly known as “journal bête et méchant”, famous for its irreverent humour, political provocation, and boundary‑pushing covers. This issue highlights the theme “Les Riches en Vacances” (“The rich on holiday”), presented in Hara-Kiri’s classic absurd, exaggerated comedic style.
The cover features a sunburnt, over‑relaxed man floating with a rubber ring, cigar in mouth, surrounded by several women in swimsuits — a satire of wealth, excess and leisure culture. The bold blue background and oversized black headline text give the cover strong display impact.
