b3 page 2 * LE ZOMBIE * Published every time a Zombie awakens, gratis to you. Edited and published by Bob Tucker * Box 260 * Bloomington, Ill. OVER THE OCEAN DEPT: We received recently our first copy of "THE SATELLITE", one of Englands better fan magazines, and couldnt help but notice the marked difference between English and American fan mags. And also a startling similarity. "SATELLITE" carried a long essay on an English Pro mag, a poem on some of stf evils, a meeting report and other things of interest to a fan. In that they were different. BUT, they also included a bit of drivel concerning various members who dashed out to the nearest pub to choke down -- how many beers was it boys? In this they were alike. It is our private opinion that no one, much less a fan, cares a tinkers damn about how many drinks YOU had, or what you drank, or what cafe YOU ate in, or what you ate, so for fandoms sake boys, keep such tripe out of fan mags! It seems to us that only lads in their early teens have a right to boast of what and how much they drank. It befits their age. Do U fall in that class? PUN DEPT: The new pro mag STARTLING STORIES lets itself in for a big time with the fast typers and hit and run spellers. 'NEW FANDOM' is the first so far to call it "STRATTLING STORIES", or words and music to that effect. :*:*: We just happened to think-- we could change the name of this chatter sheet to 'Van Tucker Says' -- couldn't we? FOND MEMORIES DEPT: We read with interest the news that Charlie Dee Hornig is to once again edit a pro mag. We side with the bunch who liked him as an editor. The world must thank (or blame, maybe) Chas. for the present largest stf organization in the world: The Science Fiction League, even tho the League is but a shadow of what it was intended to be. Incidentally, we find, upon rummaging thru our files that we belong to the League twice. We are numbers 68 and 3931. Perhaps after Weisinger reads this, we wont be number anything. Any body else hold a similar honor? YOU'R ALL WET DEPT: 'FANTASY NEWS' is damp when they say that the first issue of 'FANTASY DIGEST' would contain a poem by Alan Roberts, of Los Angeles. Roberts my gay young editor, lives in the old AMAZING's favorite antipode: Australia. (thanx Jay) SO YOU'R GONNA RETIRE DEPT: Latest nominee for this post is Wollheim, the Red Menace, who claims he is doing it, semi-like. WE'll bet two broken buttons he doesnt. We remember the West End Ave fiend when he was publishing something like this, under an unpronouncable name and fighting the SPWSSTFM. Do you? (Incidentally, did anyone ever get a copy of a pro mag with the staples removed, as per our program?) APPLAUSE DEPT: 'SPACEAYS', the big new fan mag, has finally reached an amazing height for only two issues. We noted their announcement that religion, politics and the like would be banned from their pages, and then we snicker to discover two of the horrible foreign invaders had crept into the pages and under an assumed name. Have you picked them out yet Harry? :*:*: And while we are on this same magazine, what has happened to the guiding hand of co-editor Jim Avery? He seems to be nothing but a name on the contents page. FINAL CURTAIN DEPT: Its time for us to quit departmenting around like this, so we will, and we will be awaiting your comments on this epic " LE ZOMBIE". - BT -
