FUNTASY is holding it up. (We immediately telegraphed Con. Grabble re: you, Bob. It gives us further pleasure to announce that Rep. H.Q. Hindbottom (See TIZ #l) has joined in the fight for the bill. With names of such high calibre as these behind us, plus the mighty power of the WAFFF,. our bill will definitely go through before we have 31 sfn. mags, on the stands!) Bob continues: You should be given either an unbended pretzel or a boot in the basket for the odd, scrambled way the pages are mixed up. (Book who's talkingl) I had a very devil of a time finding the rest of the stories that came to the bottom of a page and said: "Cont. on page _ . But with all things considered, it certainly was a better first issue than the first issue of my own D'J. So you are entitled to the fur-lined gobbon that is being kicked about from one fan to another these days Pip, pip. BT.. (Will the fan now possessing the above mentioned gobbon, kindly forward it to us for our collection!) .....Next is a letter from the fellow whose story pulled down about as much praise as any one thing. Walt sez: I just finished FUNTASY, and enjoyed it very much. You sure did a good job on it. It is hard to say which story I liked most, but after putting Moskowitz*s Influence behind me, and remembering my modesty, I'll say it was Tucker's. I see he is still taking crax at Moskowitz! By the way, who wrote the Congresslonal Investigation? ... (Look your daily paper over Walt, and see how many of the stories have by-iines.) Reprinting the [?] Hah-Rah" from WON was a good idea. Why not reprint some of Tucker's letters from the old WON? He wrote some darn good ones then. (I'm not sure Walt, but I think Bob is going to print 'em in a booklet, and distribute them with an autographed foto of himself! And you won't have to buy FANTASY NEWS to get it either!!... Now another sour note clangs In our ear (s).This time from Dick Wilson, late mc of NELL and such. "Comparisons being what they are, I shan't attempt to mention D'J in connection with FUNTASY. (How should we take that?) Of all your bits of unsubtle humor, I think I most enjoyed the Phiz-Quiz, tho I don't see where any physiognomy came in, unless it was Miss Dubin's...If you can't have omlettes Mr. Kuslan, egnlmatlcs [sic] are the nxt best thing, I always say. (Will someone kindly tell us what he's driving at!) Walter Sullivan's debut as a fiction writer was quite a thing. The WON reprint was welcomed and the fillers were nice and the editorial fine--and--essential, but I don't care for the rest. (The cover was punny enough.. .dw) . .So saying, Dick sent us a piece that according to him, is funny! It's in this issue...A few words regarding FUNTASY were unearthed in a letter from J. Harvey Haggard: "FUNTASY is a swell mag, lived up to its ballyhoo, and cleverly written. Mr. Haggard Is now conducting a Pictures for Framing Campaign which we urge all fans to back.
