La Veuve Joyeuse – Journal souterrain pour adulte eclaire, Number 0 [Premiere Issue], December 1970

Burroughs contributes "C M O C'est mes oignons" (a French-language translation of "M.O.B." as it appears in Contact in 1970), two pages. 

A rare periodical with very few institutional holdings worldwide.

Published in Paris, France by La Veuve Joyeuse in December 1970.

Maynard & Miles, as well as Schottlaender, incorrectly lists this contribution as being present in number "1,2,3" (the second issue of La Veuve Joyeuse, issued in Spring/April 1971) – It is not.  The contribution is in the premiere issue, number "0", issued in December 1970.  Both bibliographies additionally suggest that the contribution is entitled "M.O.B." – this is the translated title, the printed title being "C M O C'est mes oignons" – another point of correction.

The complete run of La Veuve Joyeuse, which accounts for four numbers in two issues, was acquired from Adam Davis at Division Leap (Langlois, OR.).  

The cover of number "1,2,3" which, again, is "Burroughs-free", is shown below for reference:
