Childs, excerpted from the publication Amerika Esperantisto #6 of March 1941. Myrtle continued publishing her fanzine up to Volume 4, number 7, released in March 1958.
Along with Atres Artes, Black Flames, Chanticleer, En Garde, Fan, Ichor, Le Zombie, Lethe, Nova, Shangri L'AffairesThe Timebinder, and Voice of the Imagi-Nation, Guteto was included in the anthology fanzine Pacificon Combozine for the 1946 Pacificon Fourth World Science-Fiction Convention.
