...years they've been supporting their over-seventy janitor, Elmer Green (who's done nothing but impersonate dignitaries on magazine covers), in their cellar. And as soon as the Lampoon can afford it, they plan to move him to a nicer apartment in Somerville . . . so they can "build a darkroom down there...

There are many that with the aid of a camera and a darkroom always at the ready, Serios might have been able to create first on a tiny transparent positive print (though even here the question arises: Could Serios have carried on this sort of minor photoraphic cottage industry without being detected by Eisenbud, with whom he was in constant, daily contact in Denver? If not, then again it is a question of either collusive hoax or genuine talent, with...
