FUNTASY Page 13 EDITORIAL (Cont.) 'Scuse it, please. This isn't page 12 is it? In fact, as this is being typed, it has no page number. Wonder where we can squeeze it in? Then there's the story that going around in the better fantasy circles about the promising young author who submitted his latest brainstorm to Editor Campbell, asking him if he couldn't use a story like his in AST-SFN. "Yes," replied JWC dryly, "if it isn't too much like your's."....Well, you can't say we didn't try! Our public thanks goes to Bob the Tee of D'JOURNAL for his assistance in helping us turn out FUNTASY #1. And, incidentally, if you haven't tried D'J yet, do so by all means. It's fantasy fiction's first (but not the last!) fun-fan folio featurin funtastic foolery!
