An anonymous satirical version of The Fanscient.
| Issue | Date | Pages | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | September 1949 | According to the second issue, the first issue was distributed at the Cinvention and there were hopes of distributing a third issue at the Norwescon. | |
| 2 | 1950 | 24 | Gives the editor and publisher as Donald B. Day, publisher of The Fanscient -- the editorial even makes this believable. It appears to have been distributed through FAPA, according to the contents page. Mimeographed, quarter-folded and saddle-stapled; on at least some copies, the top edge is uncut, so it's very difficult to read unless one commits the sacrilege of actually cutting the pages. Cover by Miles Rayburn Day; contents are “Thots on Korzybski” (uncredited); Excerpts from Zero (poem, uncredited); “Out of Legend” -- Old Mother Hubbard (parody of the “Spotlight” feature in The Fanscient -- written by Miles Eaton, illustrated by Donald B. Day); “Ether, Ether” (autobiography -- Simon Rosebud, pseudonym); and “Strategy on Venus” (Inch Dining, pseudonym). |
