Fido's Litter is a term used to described the many usually small fanzines that were distributed as riders with Futurian War Digest ('Fido'). Over 20 titles appeared at some point. The term is first used in #4 (January 1941) where editor J. Michael Rosenblum writes:
From comments received, it would appear that we are making the grade satisfactorily; for which I am truly grateful; and also (especially with this month's impetus) 'Fido's Litter'
Some issues were bound with FWD itself whereas others were separate publications distributed alongside it. The treatment of an individual title wasn't always consistent with, for example, The Bibliophan having its first two issues distributed with and subsequent issues bound with.
