Wenii Magazine
Finally picked up a copy of Wenii magazine.
I just started it and am already laughing out loud.
Richard you should get permission to include this in the digital Genii archives.

Re: Wenii Magazine
I've not seen Wenii, but I've heard it's a lot less scatalogical than Majoke.
Maybe one day I'll find a copy...

Re: Wenii Magazine
Wenii was not published by the Larsen family. We don't own the rights. Wenii was quite funny. MAJOKE was not.

Lloyd Jones's review in Genii started off, "Here I sit with my Wenii in hand . . . "
Re: Wenii Magazine
I have a copy of it somewhere in the AJM archives - must dig it out.

The best joke in Wenii was the add for the magician naming service...
Re: Wenii Magazine
When Walt Lees was the editor of the magazine of Repro 71, each Christmas for five years included a bonus fake magazine, a send-up of then current British magazines, Abra and The Budget, the two that first come to mind. Wonderful parodies. I have the full set. And I'm pretty sure I have Wenii too.
Re: Wenii Magazine

Re: Wenii Magazine
I gave my copy to a dear friend thinking that I had a duplicate. I didn't. [sigh]
I remember well when Wenii came out. There were people unhappy that they were not included in its satire. When Majoke came out, it was so mean spirited that people were unhappy that they were in it. That sums up the difference between the styles and quality of the two publications.

Absconded with your only copy? Sounds more like a rat than a deer to me…

Repro also produced a spoof edition of the British Ring Convention Brochure. I have that lying around somewhere.
I don't have "Wenii" any more, but I did think it was humorous. I vaguely recall mention of some dispute over a card move leading to gunfire.
I did have "Majoke" at one time, but I can't recall anything at all about it. Not even the cover.
