Lines: 13 ---------------------------- Kilgore Trout is indeed a figment of Kurt Vonnegut's imagination. "Venus on the Half Shell" was written by Philip Jose Farmer, who seems to enjoy writing things using other people's characters (Tarzan, Doc Savage, and Phileas Fogg spring to mind). Following "Venus on the Half Shell", which was first published in _The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction_, Farmer wrote a story under the name of a fictional author mentioned in "Venus" (Jonathan Smith Somers? something like that), which was also published in F&SF. -- Morris M.
