    Can’t really find much info about what the story is. It looks like light hearted comedy but not a joke onto the genre.

    Anyone read this?

  2. SI Says:

    Isn’t that the guy from the old mission impossible series?

  3. THX 1138 Says:

    It’s the Dark Knight sequel nobody wanted.

  4. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    The difference between an exchameleon and an ex-chameleon is that one is more ltd. than the other.

    The book sounds all right, but I’d tear off the cover first. Couldn’t they have picked a less arthritic stance for the male model? It looks like he wants to distance-grope Bertha the Amazing Land Whale but his back’s bothering him.

  5. Phil Says:

    If they made a movie, Bertha would be played by Divine (if Divine were still alive).

  6. Doug Says:

    Who would win in a fight, the mat or a mog?

  7. Tom Noir Says:

    The expression on the main character’s face in the center suggests that he’s just gotten a look at this cover.

  8. JohnBobMead Says:

    Haven’t read this one, read a lot of Goulart when I was younger. Ben Jolson had been in the Chameleon Corps, apparently he left their employ. Goulart wrote satirical humor of a style I really enjoyed.

    Looks a bit like Reed Richards, doesn’t he?

  9. Thiago Says:

    Doesn’t the cat guy look a little like David Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust phase?

  10. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “Call Ben Jolson – the Exchameleon!”

    “Mammy!!”

    (Yeah, it’s an old gag, but somebody had to do it.)

  11. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “Gentlemen, we have created the perfect Republican presidential candidate — half Ronald Reagan, half werewolf!”

    That city has the most redundant architect ever or their trying to create idols to that mole Pokemon.

  13. Adam Roberts Says:

    That’s no city. It’s a collection of grain silos.

    Also: huge-head-in-the-sky-guy has clearly had a stroke. It’s rather sad, really. I don’t know why all you lot are laughing at him.

  14. Green Says:

    Ron Goulart is one of the few authors that needs cheesy covers for his books. I haven’t read his work in a while, but agree with JohnBob, it’s a lot of fun.

    “Thanks for coming in, Ben. We need you to stand against this wall and change to the same colour.”

    “Yeah, well, I don’t do that any more. Capish?

    Reminds me of some of the local “pop” stars we have in South Africa…
