Entwhistle and Duck Productions were slash fanzine publishers based in Canada. They published both Star Trek: TOS and The Professionals fanzines in the mid to late 1980s.

Production Process

Entwhistle and Duck's zines contained no interior art.

Darien Duck recounted in a 2007 interview:

First of all, remember these were pre-computer times. Stories were typed, if you were lucky on an electric typewriter, if not, on a manual one. Editing involved cutting and pasting and whiteout. Then, you needed to find a business that would photocopy the pages, and if you could afford it, collate them. When Phoebe (my co-editor) and I began our series, “Another K/S Zine,” we knew that explicit art work would complicate the process, so decided to exclude the art. We found several businesses to make the copies for us. Some of the staff were curious enough to read the stories and told us they were looking forward to the next job we gave them! I think that graphic art would have been viewed differently. We took the zines to conventions to sell, also flyers for the zines. We never had a problem driving across the US border from Canada, since what we were officially taking was display material for our Star Trek club. Only once was a zine confiscated and that was one we mailed to a fan in England. I don’t remember the reason given for the confiscation, but it was likely “obscene or pornographic material”. After that, the fan received her zines wrapped in Christmas or birthday paper, and at a substitute address.
