| RealSoonNow adv. | 1962 Menace of the LASFS (vol. 8, no. 1) 5 Apr. 1 SHAGGY #61 is supposed to be coming out Real Soon Now. |
| Tuckerization n. | 1961 Operation Flipback 15 Dec. in Ipso Facto (#4) (Jan. 1962) 23-6 Adrienne Martine’s Tombemonde is not yet completely formed, but it, like Stanbery’s Coventry, is a Tuckerization*, and I have an avatar there.
