     Timothy Fay and co. have come up with "Katatonic" which would seem
to duplicate pretty much what Walt suggested, and they're already in an
advanced stage of publication (first ish for release at some Texas con, I
believe). For now, I'd strongly suggest supporting this in terms of
submissions etc. The author of the "Animato!" article on the 'KAT guys
is getting in touch with Mr. Fay, and I plan on submitting a thing or two
myself. If we could somehow work out a way to also distribute this
through the list of people Walt has assembled, things would hum along
nicely. Cash flow is the problem, though. I _personally_ would like to
send everyone a sticker or poster or something along with the first issue
of the mag, but I've invested all my millions in my phone bill. H-B is
still evidently in a bit of a mess with the whole "fan" deal, but I'm
hoping to get an indication of what _they_ want to do, and whether or not
they'd be willing to support us in any fashion.

     The _SwatKats_ newsgroup creation is _very_ important, but it will
certainly not eclipse the list, it'll just give some of the information
on-ramp people a place to look when they're scanning for newsgroups
catering to shows they like. Turner knows we're going to create it, and
their organization will be watching for it (they already read
_everything_ posted to rec.arts.animation). Felix Lee offered to help
create it, but if he's as busy as most of us are, someone let me know and
I'll attempt it through some folks I know.
