Many thanks to Sarah!

    Gah! Scary floating head!

    It’s like that time I took those mushrooms, Portobello I believe… but then after dinner I watched a 70′s psychedelic movie.

    I don’t know, i think i like this one.

    I’m definately intrigued as to why a lizardman wearing a 1900′s suit is riding a Penny-farthing bicycle through the set of a western movie.

    After the American channel AMC released the rights to The Prisoner, the only buyer was the economically challenged lizardoid people of planet Gleebanx.

    Sometimes a Sleestak just wants to enjoy a nice Sunday ride, is that so wrong?

    Only two colours – an ink-saving measure, or a colour-blind designer?

    Riding a penny farthing isn’t easy at the best of times.

    This book needs a bilious colour scheme like a lizard needs a bicyc… hang on…

    Call me strange if you want, but I think this cover really works! I’d pick it up and give it a read.

    The text says, “A galactic newshound takes on a freaked-out planet.” Doesn’t say who wins, though. Clearly, it’s not the readers.

    Nice cover…

    Alternate book titles:
    - IT’S NOT EASY SEEING GREEN
    - ON A BICYCLE MADE FOR ONE
    - FANTASTIC VOYAGE INTO DAVID ICKE’S BRAIN
    ;-P

    Yea I do rather like this one. I would definitely buy it.

    Though I am pretty sure riding any thin wheel based transport through that type of terrain would be mighty difficult!

    I actually rather like this one. And I’m no amphibiphile.

    Minor Rule 3 infraction here: like pretty much all of Ron Goulart’s SF (at least the stuff he writes under his own name – see the TekWar entry earlier), it’s a comedy/parody.

    Even so, this cover looks like it’s TRYING to be serious. Therefore, Good Show Sir!

    It’s like Frog and Toad gone horribly, horribly wrong.
