(9) LEZ LETTERS our own VoM dept Charles R Tanner: "You charge five (5) cents for a Zombie. I got it in a sealed envelope with a nine (9) yes (9)! cent stamp on it. It can't be done. I've tried working it out in algebra, calculus, gaussian complexes, and some funny kind of tensors but still I figure you lose. Did McCann or Swisher figure out for you how to make money that way? Say, in the first article ((editorial)) on page 3 your mention "Ass'd Services". Just what are Ass'd Services? Sounds a little pornographic to me. Have I missed something in these days of my years? Chauvenet's merry little jingle on page 8 drives me to add a verse: -Chorus- Yes we'll live to speed thru space It's our very firm intention (What a shame that we can't go To the Denver Fan Convention!) -Chorus- Let me compliment you on the LEZ-ETTES. Most of 'em are jsut as interesting as anything Palmer prints ((gee, tanks pal:)) and they don't take near as long to read. And I remember 'em longer too. Oh yeah, I must comment on the cover. The guy in the picture is evidently a Zombie. "Le Zombie" is evidently you. But for Pete's sake, are you as dead as that? And what are those old table radios doing in the back- ground? And now I know I'm drunk, for I can see five moons! Ah -- art!" LeZ sez:- We use a well-known scientific principal to make money on the fanzine, the Fitzgerald contradiction theory. The faster we rush the issue to you, the smaller becomes the postage. To date, we report, the thing is still in the experimental stage, no savings have been made, but we firmly believe Fitz is right, and we will keep trying. It was not a dirty story agency, but Ackerman's Assorted Services we were refering to on page 3 last issue. A sort of "we also walk dogs" thing. Name your service and they will do it -- within reason we should add. Tanner can be reached aat: A520, Branch Hospital, Price Hall, Cincinnati. J. cotanch, Branch Mgr: "Dear Sir, Did you overlook your payment? It's past due now and I would appreciate....... ((oops, pardon us, that letter dosn't belong in here. -editor)) Dar. Wade: "Your latest LeZ came some little time ago and I think it high time I resuscribed. Your fan paper is the only one that arrives regularly. I suscribed to Pluto and received the 2nd issue; quite awhile later I received the 4th. I've heard no more from them for almost six months now. Bizarre ...sent a buck for a year's subscription. Received the first issue. The second issue was to be out in January. Have yet to see it. So LeZ is quite a relief compared to the rest. I get it regularly. Hows about (if possible) reviving the snapshots on the cover? - Battery E, 13th Field Artillery, Schofield, Terr. of Hawaii LeZ sez: - Pluto published six issues and folded. Bizarre suspended after the first issue, has been announced to appear again this summer. We expect to have our next photo cover shortly .. that Martian sandscape photo, by Martin Alger, mentioned a few issues ago. BoB Jones: "That's an 'ell of an "L" you got on the cover of the latest issue. That aint an old English "L" or any other kind of an "L". It's either and old English "I" or "J" !" -Columbus, Ohio.
