Am I the Only One Who Does This?
Whenever I submit something to Fantasy and Science Fiction, packing something into an envelope to send to Hoboken via surface mail to meet their quaint submission requirements, I can’t help but think of Bugs Bunny at the end of “8 Ball Bunny” when he realizes that the baby penguin he has worked so hard to get to Antarctica was actually born in Hoboken. I literally can’t print the mailing label without saying “HoBOken!” with the emphasis on the second syllable like Bugs does. It never fails to cheer me up. Perhaps that’s why they don’t allow online submissions.
