F.X. Cannibale (“Infestation”) is best known as the editor of The Collected Papers of Gyp the Blood (Gutter Press, 2003), but he is also an acclaimed authority on such recondite pastimes as shove ha’penny, ducks and drakes and the old army game.  He is currently working as a night watchman in a brewery, which gives him much time to write in peace and quiet.

Darwin N. Huxley (“P.H. Gosse”) has long been the most revered anti-anti-Darwinist in general circulation. He has camped in a pup tent outside Dayton, Tennessee, for the last decade to protest against the shabby treatment of his hero(es) and namesake(s) and plans to lobby congress to create a Darwin paperweight in the form of a solid silver platypus, to be sold by the Post Office.

Cleveland N. Testor (“Models”) is a fierce devotee of balsa-and-silkspan flying models and has won the national free flight championship (rubber band division) at the Sandusky air trials some eight times over the years.  He is writing a magnum opus detailing his secrets of scale-model flight and its manifold joys.
