Dale Nelson’s red-ginger tomcat kitten is Giles, from Tolkien’s red-bearded farmer of Ham. The Mind-Twisters Affair was a media tie-in novel of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. co-written by Buck Coulson, producer with Juanita of the fanzine Yandro. Nelson says, “I’ve just arrived at the point where Napoleon Solo is going to investigate a locally-disliked fellow named Whateley, who operates TV station WHPL.”

Giles is a handsome young fellow.
Adorable!
I’ve seen that episode- Yvonne Craig and Elsa Lancaster guest starred
“Thomas Stratton” was Buck Coulson and Gene DeWeese, using their respective middle names. This and the other MfU novels they did were the first commercial sales for both of them, I believe. (They’d done fanzine collaborations before under that name.)
WHPL was a TV station, not a radio station! My mistake.
