A Forrest J Ackerman fanzine and publishing house name.

From Fancyclopedia 1, ca. 1944
(British:Ackerman) - Derived from initial of "Don't you know there's a war on?", a customary British reply to kicks about poor service, shortages, usw. The J began calling his outputs dyktawo pubs when war conditions cut into his time and threatened their existence. After being in the Army a while, he changed the name to Snafu Publications.
