Reactions and Reviews

...light and cleverly executed. [1]

Laurie Haldeman's "Mating Season" purports to tell us where Torinos come from (and I thought VW's were the only live-bearers!) [2]

A 'Hutch's nightmare' can be found in "Mating Season." So that's where all those Pintos come from. [3]

I thought Mating Season was utterly charming. [4]

Mating Season -- My first mistake was reading this story at 2 a.m. This forced me to practically choke to death on laughter in order to avoid disturbing a sleeping family! I loved it! (Of course, everyone knows Torinos have Pintos!) [5]

Mating Season - I know Laurie (Haldeman) is really proud of this "baby" (pardon the pun). This is the best comedy piece in any zine (ST, SW, S&H, etc.) ever! Somehow, I was suckered in, hook, line, and sinker, wondering if Hutch would get out alive. [6]

Mating Season was pretty far out, dream or not. [7]

Mating Season is very funny, a different kind of funny than El Monte Blues, a more whimsical humor. El Monte is a lobster thermidor; Mating Season is a light and airy souffle. [8]
