Quotations and Comments
by
"The Outsider"

FROM "SEEKERS OF A BETTER TOMORROW" by G. KEN CHAPMAN IN "THE SCIENCE FICTION FAN"
Volume 5, No. 6

"Mr. Abraham Merritt, in his magnificent, literary masterpiece "The Blind Spot" dared the whole world with one inspired line---- 'Did you ever stop and think of eternity? It is a very long time.' "

Merritt and "The Blind Spot." Sounds like a case of mistaken identity to me, eh what? Might I make a little suggestion, Mr. Chapman? Don't bother to stop and think of eternity. Try something a little easier and more practical. For instance, try to think--real hard, now-who wrote that "magnificent, literary masterpiece, "The Blind Spot?"

Just as I suspected. you don't know. Well, that wins me twenty-five bucks and a set of the encyclopedia. The answer? Messrs. Hall and Flint. I'll wager that everyone of the radio Quiz Kids could answer that one.

FROM "THE MARTIANS ARE COMING" IN "COSMIC STORIES"     Volume I, No. 1

"'Traitor' hissed Whitlowe from the corner of his mouth".

It's no use. I tried it from both corners of the mouth; separately and together and I just can't do it. Maybe one has to have false teeth.

Saving...
