They published two other issues in 1993 and 1994 with insultings cartoons covering the events in Bosnia. In 1993, the magazine published a cover depicting a cartoon of a women being raped by a soldier, insulting the many women and girls who suffer rape, sexual abuse and inhumane treatment and torture during the war. In 1994 the magazine also published a cartoon showing a toy store with a display reading "We have body parts" and a kid saying 'Santa this is exactly what I wanted'.
