Scarce magazine generally attributed to British writer Stewart Home though written under the neoist pseudonym, Karen Eliot. "Karen Eliot" and "Smile" are both examples of names that have been taken up by different people or organizations in the same spirit as "Monty Cantsin". Anonymous (sometimes) group pseudonyms.
"Smile is the name chosen by Monty Cantsin to refer to an international magazine of multiple origins. The name is fixed, the type of magazines using it aren't."
Gwen Allen, Artists Magazines (2011), p. 297.
