Harry Jenkins Jr designed the "Forward with VCM". AUG COVER will present another Vomaiden in the mimcravon process, being the reproduction of an original Mooney.

FRANK R, KRUPA, WESSO, DOLD--We spose U scarcely coud name an artist who hasnt depicted the "Man-eating Plant". But on the backover of our next Vom we shall present the man-eating plant picture to end all man-eating plant pictures! It will be trooly sensational! THE RED MAN on p9 of this no. is a sample of 6 extraterrestrials U will find in the portfolio put out special for the Denvention by need-we-mention? STOPPE IN A BEAUTY SHOPPE When an ad was lett at 4e's frontdoor which read (yeh, yeh; the ad, not the door) "Bring this coupon, it entitles you to a (how ungrammatical!) Oil Croquignole Permanent Wave for $1.00", he says he payd it scant attention. (Let's switch over to forrest person singular) However, it seemd to be of some intrest to my Grandmother; & a little later she askt, "Forry, did your Assorted Services/making sure to underline AS as she spoke/print that beauty ad?" "Beauty ad?" I echoed blankly; "what beauty ad." "Well, I thought it was yours because it had your initials on it." "My initials on it? On what?" So she went & got it & showd me it. Well, below the lady's picture herewith reproduced, it seems were not my initials but...4SJ! Wait a minnut, sez me, doing a double-take; what kind of gag is this?! The throwaway was a rubberstamp job so I figgerd out that well maybe someone who nue me & was connected with the shop had contrived to add 4SJ on that particular copy as a joke. But when I went out thru the naborhood, finding other copys that had blown off the frontporches or been thrown away, there on all of 'em was 4SJ! Well, U may be sure I lookt up the beauty shop. But there seems to've been nothing to it. Just a code number for that offer. THe proprietress was a most unimaginative woman & totally unimprest by the coincidence. What I want to noe is, with nos. from 1 to 10 & 2 letters from the alfabet, whatre the odds on such a combination's occuring? It once nue a formula for figuring out such a thing but that was 10 yrs ago in school. The figure must be one of mathematical proportions! VOTE!--A simple penny postcard with #1 on it, adrest to Vom, will count for keeping the green ink; #2 will indicate your preference for a change to black, as used in our 2d section. DEVENTION REPORT. Because approximately 3000 words re the Chicon, as written by Weaver Wright & Co, are out standing still--have not seen print--to avoid repetition of such a situation Forijay promptly will present his personal account of the Denvention in the one place he (& U) can count on: VOM
