| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
A fannish verse-fad set off, like many of our gags, by a stfyarn. Cuddlypets were animals tamed by artificial stimulation of their affection-centers, but the thing that fans went for was the advertising-verse used by salesmen of this peculiar merchandise. Below is a sample of a fannish adaptation.
Lately Cuddly-Crocodile Rivals Cuddly-Lion in style; Modern fashion doesn't bar A Cuddly-Tyrannosaur! from Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement ca. 1960: The creatrix of the horrors was Evelyn Smith. |
Phyllis Economou sent this one in a loc to Grue 20:
You can have your Cuddlee-beast Cuddlee-cougar tempts me least. All I ask, please, if you can Just give me a Cuddlee-MAN!!
