PHANNY "The Phlimsy Phanzine" Perpetrated Occasionally for the F A P A by D. B. Thompson 705 Scott St. Alexandria 2, La. Volume III Number 4 ---:o0o:--- TABLE OF CONTENTS Official Editorial Page 1 "Sell Me A Ticket, Mister" -- Filler Ye Ed Page 2 Enchanted Forest -- Poem James Russell Gray Page 3 Changeling -- Poem James Russell Gray Page 3 "By Their Works Ye Shall Know Them" PHANNY reviews the mailing Page 4 Cover -- I doodled it ---:o0o:--- This issue of PHANNY is being gotten out under adverse circumstances. My procrastination being what it is, I naturally delayed starting until the January Mailing arrived--some time late in February. And even then I dawdled, and didn't get a planned article written. To further complicate a very simple situation, and with some time slipping by in its usual hectic fashion, I acquired a case of iritis; a sort of rheumatism of a muscle controlling the pupil of the eye. It is painful and dangerous if not treated promptly. The treatment consists of dilating the pupil, covering the eye, and ingurgitating large quantities of sodium salicylate, an innocuous-seeming drunk of the aspirin family, the flavor of which grows on you--and HOW! So, for ten days or so, no work on my job, and no work on PHANNY. This is the sixteenth day, and day after tomorrow, I go back to work, although I must continue assimilating good old Sod. Sal. For two more weeks. During the last few days, with the worst of the trouble over, and able to work with one eye, I've managed to cut a number of stencils. I've also managed to play a lot of very bad golf, but there is nothing unusual about that, except that it has been a daily, rather than a weekly event. And so I give you PHANNY, minus a lead article, or any other kind of an article, but saved by two good sonnets by Gray. ---:o0o:--- The group of portraits presented on the cover of this issue are among the most interesting of the many historical pictures to be found in PHANNY'S secret archives. Secured originally by Josepho Phanno i3 [[?]]2, celebrated proponent of the ancient theory that nonfunctional physical attributes vary inversely with intelligence, these pictures, ironically enough, served eventually to
