Seems to be somewhat of a human interest story. That's for me. I seem to have a soft spot in my heart for such yarns. Get something like this every ish, and you'll be the 11th of the 10 best.

I hope you do [underlined] improve lyk [like] this ish did. *** Editorial Space Filler:: Well, at last. ***Why Make An Issue Out Of It?:: Good. ** A review of Fan Magazines:: Thanx for the plug. ***Finis:::Here's wishin' you good luck with FANATIC #2 and all succeeding issues, Beling. *** "The Trash basket":. O.K. Too bad you gents didn't get somewhere with that yarn. Keep at it. Someday you'll succeed. Look at me...but we'll leave that for the proper tym ((Whatcha got up your sleave, bud?)) *** Booster Ads:: Why wasn't I told of this? ((It was all through preceding SSp!))

Or were you trying out some new inks? Or did your brush wear out? Or were you just too d__n lazy to do any better? ((ouch)). And so we finish. Good luck in future issues. 
LAST WORD FROM ART WIDNER: "Annish of SUN SPOTS is sloppier than ever because it's bigger. ((Kill joy!--Wet Blanket, gerr--eds))
