(4) PS Illustrated by Arthur Robins. A boy tells of his brother's adventures with aliens on the planet Ziffoid. The story uses a quickly predictable pattern in which details that sound terrible turn out to be good and things the reader expects to be good are instead bad. The story is silly and well matched to the sketchy, cartoon illustrations, but the gimmick may not hold up well on repeat readings.
