Surprise! Surprise! The QUANDRY has not only managed to come out with a second ish ... it's come out early!!! Which all goes to prove that QUANDRY's not just a one-shot. (And that we compose on the stencil). We weren't due to hand you another ish 'til sometime in Sept. but we decided to try and beat the NORWESCON. Well, we promise it won't happen again ... what with classes, the community theatre, the school theatre, the drama club, and the QUANDRY all calling for chunks of this poor life. And I hope to be doing stuff for some other zines too. How about contributing, huh?
Well, there's no escaping it ... a slan's a fan at hearts no matter what - just dangle a mimeograf and a fellow slan before one and watch the fmz fly!!! The "old fan" who's no longer active in fandom is "just going to help the neo-fan ... just a little advice ... a suggestion or two for the new zine" ... there's no escaping it ...
How do you like the art work by Kessel this ish???
We'd already started cutting stencils for this ish when in walked Ghod-Pappy all loaded down with lettering guides, shading plates, stylii (er styluses er somethin'), art work, cut stencils, and material. And us sitting there with ONE stylus and a straight edge bemoaning our lack of material ... bless you Ghod-pappy ... bless you and Mrs.Ghod-Pappy and all the little Kettles-to-be!!!
FIRSTS DEPT: First non-SaFANnahian to sub to the QUANDRY is Bobby Pope of Charleston, S. C. First zine to plan trade is Tucker's SCIENCE FICTION NEWS LETTER.
Hope you'llforgive all the errors that are sprinkled generously throughout the zine. I've got two good excuses for them (1) I can't type and (2) I'M ignorant. That explains that ...
WONDERMENT DEPT: Hey, how come I'm not getting more mail from you readers(?)?? Here I give you a nice criticizable hunk of crud and where are all the complaints?
FANTASY IN THE THEATRE: Most talked-about fantastic play today is PETER PAN and judging from what we've heard you've heard too so we won't take up your time talking about it.
We hope the mimeoing this ish'll be better than last. Should be ... we've got a trained demolition technician as technical advisor.
BUREAU OF MISSING PERSONS DEPT: Can anybody put us in contact with Rusty Gray??? James Russell Gray, that is ...
How do you feel about the paper we're printing this on? It's the cheapest we could get.
(There's more of these wordy wanderings on page 4 if you'd care to look)
Chaos (con't)
Now what was I going to say?? Oh, yes ...
Look please ... whether you want to subscribe or kick my teeth in ... how about writing and telling me ... I'd like comments that would help guide me in choosing material ... please!!
Or as one introvert said to the other introvert, "I really am inferior."
Due to a shortage of bright ideas this is the end of this column for this ish.
