Everyone was really amazed when the dog picked upthe phone and called
(800)633-5953 to order a back
issue of the January 3D issue of Overdrive magazine
(for $6.00 with his credit card) and was able to spot
the area that Boris wanted to correct.

The art director must have felt bad and apparently added an additional
protective cover to the back issues that shows someone
(who kind of looks like Boris) holding a pair of 3D
Overdrive glasses.

Call now, operators are standing by! Good luck,
Lawrence
