Neil Comments: “The master of medical horror,” but someone has their anatomy wrong. Maybe it features a story about men with black voids for groins.
Published 1986

    The dreaded Chinese Twiizzler Torture. Or would that be the Licorico Technique?

    Pretty unusual, I likes!

    I think they’re supposed to be wearing posing pouches or something.

    Now, is it just my eyes or is something wrong with the perspective on those gridlines?

    @John T. The whole picture seems a bit warped.
    Anyway, don’t be fooled. Those aren’t lasers or anything, they seem to be strings of some sort.

    Interesting title, “Mind Bend.” Not “Mind Bending,” which is usually used as an adjective phrase. This is a THING, this “Mind Bend.” I envision it as being a place. “Ya gotta take State Road 119 and get off at exit 12. Hang a right, and you’re in Mind Bend.” Or maybe it’s sort of like an ice cream headache. “Mommy, I’ve got a Mind Bend!”

    “Come here sweetie, mommy will iron it out.”

    I wonder about the list of words at top of the blurb. Are I assume they are titles of other novels by the author. In which case I’m pretty amused that there are three very basic medical/anatomical terms followed by “Gooplayer.” Reminds me of the lists I use with children when helping them learn to read: “Which one of these words does not belong with the others?”

  8. Brian B Says:

    In light of my typo in the second sentence I should point out that I was teaching the children to read, not myself!

    It could also be “Godplayer”.
    It’d be cool, though, if those names, along with Mind Bend, were the members of the author’s Quake/CS/whatever clan.

    I DARE you to go into to a bookstore and ask for the title “Gooplayer”.
    ;-P

  11. Neil Says:

    I can confirm it was ‘Godplayer’!

    If they are posing pouches theres still something abit gross about them, like theyre soiled or something… the top looks white…

    [SATIRE ALERT]

    Now I recognize that picture… it’s the secret Randroid factory, where so many American Republicans politicians are manufactured these days.

    Here is a picture of a successful Randroid — note the lifeless, artificial appearance, the plastic skin and the camera eyes:

    AR Yngve> ahhha ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kill it! Kill it!

    I kinda like this one though. It’s like they are being inserted into an early 3d game.
