“Astrologic” (Sagittarius), p. 63, written by Fritscher and pirated in a reprint by publisher Embry and editor John W. Rowberry without permission from Fritscher’s copyright column “Astrologic” in Drummer 21 (March 1978), p. 30; Embry and Rowberry colluded in this direct violation of Fritscher’s copyright; falsely assigning the byline to “Aristide,” it seems they set out to deceive the readership by rearranging the order of the months in Fritscher’s original in order to recycle and resell the column.

[Editor’s Note: Drummer 128 contains a “Letter to the Editor,” p. 5, re Fritscher’s “Solo Sex” feature in Drummer 123. The editorial by Anthony F. DeBlase states that the success of Drummer is owed precisely to its showcasing of “real,” that is, actual men, the readers, which as a concept was created and inaugurated in the 70s in the column “Tough Customers” by then editor-in-chief Fritscher. On p. 4, DeBlase also acknowledges that Fritscher’s “Tough Customers” concept “is obviously one of the, if not the, most popular feature in Drummer.”]
