    “Find the equation for non-conformity — or else!”
    This brings back a childhood trauma… my parents often told me:
    “Find the equation for matching your socks — or else!”

    “Priiiime! Prime Mov-ah! Baby you’re miiiiine! I’m The Groov-ah!”

    So that’s what happened to Zodiac Mindwarp.

  3. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “In that planetary game, was he pawn or prime-mover?”

    Is this a rhetorical question?

    I’m gonna go home and mow my lawn…

    I’m thinking hair is a big part of the equation.

    Is that Rex Ready on the first cover?

    Tom> I believe Rex Ready has family:

    And the one time Gary actually goes about spraying some weeds… he gets attacked by a giant monster. There is a lesson there kids!

    No, it’s answered on page 237. Just after the bit where the creature’s three-fingered hands are explained. And the Spartan helmet is accounted for.

    First one: ‘hands up all those who want to learn the Asbestos Suit Boogie from me.’

    Second: I can’t take my eyes off his unteleported giant yellow right nipple.

  10. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Hey, wait a minute!
    The title clearly states, “The UNteleported Man”… while the cover just as clearly shows a man being teleported!

    Surely this is the first time in history that an SF book cover promises something that doesn’t happen inside the book!

  11. ppenguinator Says:

    Surely most, if not all, of men alive today are unteleported. I don’t see what’s so special about this one.

  12. Dalton H. Says:

    Aren’t we all unteleported? Well except for Jeff Goldblum.

  13. arch9enius Says:

    LIzard: Greetings! (In Russian)

  14. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    ‘Oi! Put that down! I’m tryin’ ta find the lavs, is all!’

    And on the back side:

    ‘Wouldn’t you know it, first teleportation and they put me nude in front of Harvey and Mitch. Someone get me a mop.’

    @Phil: you’ll notice that the reptile has 4 digits on one hand, 3 on the other. And 2 fangs in his lower jaw, 1 in his upper.
