The double parens indicate editorial commentary, so the writer of "omigod" is presumably Walt Liebscher.
The issue is undated. I actually stumbled across this cite while I was trying to date the issue. Internal evidence suggests not earlier than November 1943 (there is a "news item" with a date of 11-4-43. Fanzine fandom seems to have solidified 1943 as the date (see, e.g. https://fancyclopedia.org/wiki/Chanticleer, https://fanac.org/fanzines/Chanticleer/, and the closer-in-time Fanzine Index from 12/1952, which gives it an estimated date of 1943, https://fanac.org/fanzines/References/pe_index.pdf).
