[TRACT]. Les Curés exagèrent. La Louvière, Éditions de Montbliart, 21 July 1956. One leaflet in-8 (21.4 × 13.9 cm), on yellow paper, printed in black on the front. Amusing Daily-Bul leaflet mocking an exhibition subsidized by the Shell Company in June 1956: The Oil Industry as seen by artists. It ends with these words : "too much Shell, not enough pepper". This response to the libel launched by the Naked Lips team and the Lettrist International against the artists who were accomplices in the exhibition, heralded the creation of the Daily Bul, the most casual magazine in the world, a few months later. Marcel Broodthaers was among the signatories, as were Noël Arnaud, André Balthazar, Pol Bury, Marcel Havrenne, Théodore Koenig, Joseph Noiret, Serge Vandercam.... Rare.
