Notes | A contest offering 1000 copies of the next issue of All-Flash [#7] was announced in this issue. Readers were asked: 1) if they wanted book-length novels to continue in All-Flash or instead have separate stories; and 2) if they liked the Three Dimwits and wanted more stories featuring them. EVERY reader responding to this survey received a free Flash button in five brilliant colors. Info added by Craig Delich 8-22-09. |

Synopsis | The Three Dimwits, trying to charge an old car battery, pour in a variety of chemicals, then attach a sunlamp to it as a power source. The resulting "purple ray", they find, has a strange effect upon people: it affects the secretions of the bodie's gands, resulting in changes in poise, conduct, and even in the brain itself! |
