When on high the internet had not been named,
The world wide web had not been called by name,
Naught but the authors and artists, their begetters,
And Shousetsu Bang*Bang, who bore them all,
Their contributions commingling as a single smutty body;
No recommendations had been tweeted, no little green hearts had been clicked,
When no appreciation whatever had been spoken into being,
Unshared on social media, their destinies undetermined-
Then it was that the the new issue was formed within them.
