PLUTO 17 WHO SAID THAT? quote fits it nicely. The DPUPCPI is an idea. (Reminds one of the SPWSS TFM era, tho,) maybe I shall be inspired shortly. Ah. Mine Freund, you are quite right, let it be known as "Well Known Fantasy" from this time henceforth, Particularly the "Green, Splotches" is not little known. Nine out of ten fans could sketch it's plot I beleive. Nothing in Amazing or Astounding, is little known to fandom. Even I, (yeh me) have the "Green Splotches". Personally methinks Merritt's "People Of The Pit" in the same issue is a better story. There are some nifty mistakes in Stribling's yarn. The fiction was OK. Bright Stuff By Children, very good. Who Said That? is a keen name for the readers Scwacks. (sp) Sce Jokes From Other Planets, is neat; continue, Sanme argument applies to among the Hams & Pros, as did to new Fandump's "Top Of The Pile". Discontinue. Let the Weaklys do the reviewing of fan mags too. The item about Mel: he has the pictures and they are very good. Two have already appeared but the third is an illustration for "Anton York's Secret". (Binder) Wonder how the Binderogues will bring York back to life?! (Even more, I wonder why?) Jim Tillman. ******************************************************** From Chicago Commenting on the second issue of Pluto. The mimeographing, and great improvement in format were very welcome features. I particularly liked the multi-colored covers, and the use of vari-colored inks thruout. It enhanced the whole publication, and supplemented with good---- as well as humorous----material. The second number rang the proverbial bell. I wish to thank you on behalf of the Chicon Convention Committee, for the splendid advertisingand publicity given the coming convention. Such cooperation makes the outlook for the Chicon very bright. (I presume some of your group will be at the gala affair.) Getting back to Pluto, if briefly: I think you boys have a unique and refreshing perspective on fandom---satirical, but somehow not cynical; corny but somehow humorous and entertaining. Keep the damn rag going, it's cute! Fraternally yours, Mark Reinsberg ********************************************************* From Brooklyn N.Y. It is really a refreshing mag in contrast to others I have seen, (and I can't mention names here either.) Pluto is a difficult job well done. I would like to know how you manage to print in four different colors. And the people who did the mimeographing, can really boast of being experts. Sincerely, Jack Robins ********************************************************* From Olcott N.Y. (A belated comment on #1 from a non Ftsy reader.) I thought it was extremely interesting and educational; at least as far as I am concerned. Th story by Vincent, (The Message) is one of the most original I have ever read; tell him to keep it up. Don't forget my copy of the next number. Miss Marie Wright ********************************************************* From Los Angeles, Cal. Greetings Gents:-
