I'm Heading for the Post Office!
Posted by maggie
This letter just came in from Ralph Annan, and we'll be running it in
CBG
#1636. But I didn't want to wait to get the word out there, so I'm running it here, as well:
As a lifetime subscriber (25-plus years), I was not too happy with your change in format a few years ago. (I still have and treasure many copies of the newspaper format.) Your old format had a certain comic-booky ambiance about it that kept me in touch with my inner child, when as a youth I was smitten by the bug and never recovered my sense of reality.
But you must be doing something right. Last year, I tossed a couple back issues into the flat-rate box that I send to my son, in Iraq. When he had finished reading 'em he passed 'em on, as I had suggested. He quickly asked for more, so I put half a dozen in the next box. I'll eventually exhaust my cache, in quick order, however, and I'm very sad about that.
Apparently, a
CBG
bug is running rampant among the troops in my son's outfit, and there is no cure for it. What have I started? Curses upon me! I didn't even read #1634, but sent it post-haste to that far away land. I'm in dire straits. SOS! What to do?
I know
CBG
has a heart as big as a battleship, as do its subscribers. So, if anyone is so inclined, go to the post office and get a flat rate box. (It costs only $8 to send to Iraq, no matter what the weight, one pound or 100!) Stick anything in it you want relating to comic books. The troops will thank you.
The address is:
1st A. Annan
A Co. 3/509
40572
APO AE 09312-0572
Thanks so much.
