POST 3 OF 7: THE BREAK—NEWS, DISPLAYS, RAFFLE PRIZES

Time for the break! Grab a bheer, and read up on the latest club news, admire the model displays, and check out the raffle prizes! 

WARP 111 was reviewed in Guy Lillian’s TZD.

NB: Guy works from a template, hence the credit going to Cathy rather than Danny and Val. It should be correct for the next one! To view WARP 111, Click here.

Once upon a time one of the purposes of SF clubs was to put forth fanzines featuring work by the club members – Minneapolis had Rune, LASFS Shangri L’Affaires, New Orleans Nolazine. North of the border the practice still reigns,with excellent Warp, edited by the better-than-excellent Cathy Palmer-Lister. Class act: friendly, attractive, witty, inclusive. That could be either the editor or the genzine, but I better cut it out:it reads like I’m pitching woo. Anyway, a beautiful antique-ish cover by Ingrid Kallick leads to a brief lettercol, club news, and Keith Brathwaite’s anguished memorial to his friend and fellow MonSFFAn, Sylvan St-Pierre. Fan fiction and a good essay on “The Cold Equations”, one of SF’s most controversial and enduring stories, follow, as do a slew of decent genre reviews by Braithwaite. {Yes, I loved A Quiet Place II; no, I haven’t been able to see the “Zach Snyder cut” of Justice League [which I both fear – I loathed what Snyder did in Man of Steel – and anticipate] and never heard of The Nevers.) Donny Sichel’s report on the World Fantasy Con reminds us that the event will return to New Orleans in the near future … hopefully a near future where COVID is contained and Cathy & Co. can write up WFC for Warp.

POST 2 OF 7: THE LAWS OF CARTOON PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY

This is Post 2 of 7 today.

We live in a world of science. We also live in a world of cartoons. Naturally, cartoon creators have their own self-consistent rules of science. The best known: Wile E. Coyote runs into thin air, but only falls after he looks down. Another character is shot by a cannonball, but the perfectly circular hole in his middle heals rapidly with no aftereffects.

About 10 years ago, I gave a MonSFFA presentation on the Cartoon Laws of Physics. One of the flaws in the Cartoon Laws of Physics is … nothing has been said about chemistry. And so I’ve updated my old presentation with a proposal (possibly for the first time) that the famed Cartoon Laws of Physics should be supplemented by the Cartoon Laws of Chemistry.

Some of the Cartoons Laws of Science have been confirmed in real life, at least partially. One such case occurred during World War II, in the interaction between the British heavy cruiser HMS Sussex and a kamikaze pilot. The kamikaze lost.
