VOICE OF THE IMAGI-NATION 7 VOMET WITH THE COMET MERCURY, TRIPE DAMN DAWN Dear VoM -;- Please do not ask me what the signifigance of this heading is. I have various reasons I suppose, but if you do something you are usually Wright but if you give reasons you are usually 2 wrong. (If that pun seeps through any mind, they are hopeless as I am) The latest issue was a humdinger to put it in the vernacular of the downtrodden farmers. I even liked the cover which proves I am entirely different in my views. Too, my views are not definite Mister Rothman. Of course the contents page was really a dilly as it always is. Each subtitle to a name is actually well put. And the editorial. Well, I have no comments anent this portion of the shell except to point out that I's like one of those special copies. I'll just up and hand it to you Forry and Morojo (yes, reader -- Tom and I are down here in dear Shangri-LA). Of course I've already taken my stand with Moro long ago on this pun issue. If the puns go, then VoMite as well. It's really that personality of you two which makes good old Voice sing out with a lustyell. Ech Si Kay's humor failed to throw me into the very convulsions of laffter. Another thing -- if Miske isn't Miske, who is Miske? And if someone is Miske, then who is the person who is Miske, and who is the one who is the one who is the one? I'm stumped! Oh, yes. Jack, I agree with you. They shouldn't cut your letters up so much, but then you know what a cut-up Forry is once he starts cutting capers (ooooh). And, Art... Did you like Pinnochio? That was a good idea of yours to come to L. A., but it would have been more appropriate if you would have said Shangri-LA for I can guarantee that this place is a veritable one. Rojoso has a new twist to this 4SJargon, but I am afraid that it would take some time before one would become affluent at the process of untangling all the verbs and nouns and what-have-you out of the mess. What say? Elmer and Milty are so quaint. Or are they? Vincentookakeanall with his grand letter (what a horrible piece of Ackermanese. Peace, peace.) which was entirely different from the general trend of the subjects. But a loud hoorah for Alan P!!! Cripes! Don't tell me that anyone considers Roberts a fellowitheeniest immature mind?! That was the most interesting letter of the issue outside of Wright's which I must say was good for the simple reason that he is in the same room with me as I write this. George hit something there in his letter, but I sure as hell don't know exactly what it was. Anyway, Georgie boy, try those two mags that 4E recommended as they're both good stuff. One of the most interesting things that I've read in a long time is Ad Conditioned in a SAL. Of course NO magazine offers the entertainment that DAWN will upon its arrival and I can just see the disappointed ones who did not order a copy in time. Also, THE COMET & MERCURY are not to be sneezed at for they easily rank second and third best of the fannies. Oh, well. I suppose that someone has to stick up for the things. Anyway, I see an opening for a pun back there, Acky. Advertisements are singularly neat and attractive this time ... almost as much so as those that we will feature in DAWN! I'll go read a couple of the new Thorne Smith books we got now. J. J. Fortier 2
