b2 "LE ZOMBIE" - Number two Some Candid Commente from Tucker U just know its a - Cosmic Publication EXPLANATION DEPT: For the benefit of those who are receiving this by direct mail, and have possibly never seen anything like it before, we are what as known as a 'fan magazine' altho how anyone can term a two page sheet a magazine is beyond our Zombic ken. For those others who know us, yet still got this by direct mail, we are known as a special supplement to FANTASY NEWS, science fiction weekly news sheet. For those of you who got this with this weeks FN, you dont deserve an explanation. Included in "LE ZOMBIE" are our personal, candid comments on the fan world in general, some of it humorous, some otherwise; you will also find subtle advertising about our publications - alto you are not supposed to recognize it thus. COMMENT DEPT: How and why so many fan editors resent and dislike the west coast Ackerman is more than we can fathom, in view of the fact that he is usually one of the financial pillars of most any fan mag. (Golly, we spelled 'finance' wrong -- wont grammar teacher Wilson throw a fit!) Its not secret that D'JOURNAL lives off him. DELICATE SEX DEPT: One of the last issues of IMAGINATION! -- we think it was the eleventh -- carried in its pages the comeback effort of a female west-coaster known as Nancy Featherstone. (Positively not another pen-name of FJA). This thing in question was a cartoon of a bawling little brat whom La Featherstone named with delicate, feminine touch: 'Busta Guttery'. We shuddered! O Featherstone, how cud U!/? To conclude our L.A. comment, we announce that you are not likely to see IMAGINATION! reprints in future D'JOURNALS, as asserted here last issue, because MADGE requires that all material reprintedbe done in the exact manner of its original presentation, spelling, non-stop-paragraphing and all. D'J doesn't care for non-stop paragraphing. WEEKLY NEWS*SHEET DEPT: Two of the three boys who put out these highly necessary weekly newspapers could spend a lot more time on the papers themselves, improving them; and take less time to make sarcastic crax about the other sheet. Remarks such as "only news sheet printed in English" and "sheet contains the usual stuff" are as unnecessary as gossip columns filled with who drank howmuch of what and what cafe. The third weekly is not commented upon yet for it is too young to show its oats, altho a covered-up poem in its 8th issue is oatey! SUBTLE ADVERTISING DEPT: Thank Saturn, all fans arent as opposed to good humor as is this 'Loki' guy. Up in Maine soon will appear a 2nd funtasy magazine. Jim Avery is calling it just that: FUNTASY. Needless to say, D'JOURNAL has a hook-up with it, a manuscript pooling pool has been formed, and it is quite possible that later on a new idea in the way of subscriptions may be announced. Take the hint? NEW FAN MAG DEPT: another new one due any time is to be put out by a fan to new fandom, but old to pro mags. "Sully" Roberds by name, he dwells in Normal, Bloomingtons one and only suburb . Sully is at present shopping for a printing press, intending to print his mag, but may use our mimeograph for the first issues.
