VOICE OF THE IMAGI-NATION 5
very pleased to meet him. The reason I asked the question about his initials was because of my insatiable desire to know everything about a fan who interests me. Thompson did and still does interest me. I liked his story in a recent Astounding and would give it about a nine in the one-to-ten rating system. 
     When do we get black ink? If green ink costs more, why not use black ink and reduce the expenses? (Femme friends of Ellay S. Effess' Mimi O' Graf will continue to come to U drest in green. Recently raised at a meeting of the Imagi-natives of Shangri-LA was the question of an ink-change but retention of the now-traditional color was voted so verdent will remain your Voice, Polaris, Novacious, Shangri-LA, Damn Thing, etc. FMZ Digest, Specula & other Astra Pubs are brot [brought] out in black because publisht on a
privately-ownd machine.) 

This is a Doodle Duck found on the table at Clifton's after a meeting of the imagi-natives. We do not noe who drew it.
