PLUTO 19 WHO SAID THAT? From New Orleans, La. Your issue of Pluto came today, and I must say it's a swell publication for a beginning. I liked everything in Pluto except that wise (?) remark by a certain Mr. Tucker. The blue ink seems more legible than any other. Pluto appears to be headed for success, and I enclose a quarter for the next three issues. Sincerely, Max Moore P.S. for a suggestion------put aside a space where amateur writers might try out their talents; more jokes and "Bright Stuff By Children." The DPUPCPI promises to be a bang-up department. ********************************************************* From Ft. Wayne, Ind. A few brief comments on Pluto: The format was excellent, no denying that. But the material, with exceptions was,--------(fill in your own word.) (MARVELOUS!-eds.) May I point out that Pig Latin is based on the English language. Therefore any foreigners who wanted to learn Messeranto would have to learn English first. And if they did that what use would Messeranto be? None. English would be the Universal language. The Universal language of the furure is Hissgrunto, which will come into it's own when Burpocracy is established upon the North American continent and Bermuda. Burpocracy, I might add is the very latest system. It will sweep fandom like wildfire, we hope, and drive the Technocrats into their burrows where they belong. Ted Dikty ********************************************************* From Denver, Colorado Below are my ratings on the first and second issues: First issue: cover fair, editorial funny, diagrams of systems, good; chart of moons inaccurate; (more of this later) advertising section heh, heh. Famous Jokes From Other Planets, absolutely nuts, but side splitting; and the back cover was just so-so. Little Known Fantasy--etc, OK. All in all you had a very good first issue of it's type. Second issue: first of all we'll take a look at the general appearance thruout. PERFECT!!!! The mimeography was nothing short of super. Or is it mimeoghaphed??? To be truthful I can't tell for sure. But it must be---or is it? The duplication is really a honey of a job, regardless of hecto, mimeo, or direct process ditto, or what have you? Three different colors too! You boys certainly have a beautiful, mag. Cover: this time a great improvement, I'll give it a very good Stick to the circle idea and be uniq (see latest VOM for official adoption of Ackermanese spelling.) Contents: neat (not cramped, as some fan mags) and two colors pleasing. In fact the only pages that weren't pleasing were the black! Monotonous, I guess. Editorial page: same as last ish, good. Poem good, but I'm no judge of poetry, so we'll let it go at that. DPUPCPI: swell idea, you should get some crack-brained theories---in fact I have a couple of ideas of my own rhat I might submit later. Make your own Telescope, was funny as hell, but I'm afraid I'm one of those who'd see the whole universe. As for Jupiter's moons, it does not have ten, someone hitme on the head if I'm wrong--it has eleven! I think only four or five of the moons are named and the rest are termed Jove 5, Jove 6, etc. In fact our cold blooded astronomers don't even call those that are named
