- Kelvin R. Throop
Kelvin R. Throop is a fictional character and collective
pseudonym created byR. A. J. Philips in a story which appeared in "Analog Science Fiction and Science Fact " magazine in July1964 . With the encouragement of editorJohn W. Campbell , Throop subsequently figured in additional stories by other authors. The archetypal Throop story finds him within a largebureaucracy which, solely by his acid-penned memos, he causes to self-destruct, whereupon he disappears until the next story. In mid-December1984 , Analog published a special Kelvin Throop humor edition. Numerous humorous epigrams attributed to Throop were published in Analog over a period of decades.External links
