AUSSIE. SPECIAL N.Z. SUPPLEMENT. A copy of the latest “Aussie” is just to hand from the publishers. This instalment contains a supplement exclusively for this Dominion. It consists of 16 pages in characteristic New Zealand black and white art and literature by some very well-known writers and artists. The short stories, verse and paragraphs are uniformly humourous, and it is difficult to determine which one is better than another. . Of the clever subtle humour that characterises the magazine too much cannot be said, and the issue never at any time loses its genuine Australasian outlook.
