“There’s a naked man in our fondue!!”

If he’s been brought back from extinction how come there are other men on the cover, and women? And wearing 60s revival garb? And they aren’t going to get far resurrecting the human race if he’s only got a sparkle instead of a winkle…
June 20th, 2011 at 10:15 am
Yeah, I think we can all see why his race became extinct.
June 20th, 2011 at 10:28 am
Come on now, it’s simply cold. That’s why it’s a twinkle instead of a flash!
I might be killed for that joke.

Wasn’t this guy a demigod just a few days ago? (http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/2011/06/the-masks-of-time/)
They look a bit upset that he isn’t wearing a goldfish bowl. And that he’s arrived in the children’s paddling pool.

And Disney created Glitter Man.

He’s so big he’s clad with Nebulae!

Ending line,” Maybe were not so different after all. We might even be the same species!”

I hate to burst their bubbles, but those clothes will not help in a vacuum. Unless those bubble helmets are designed to avoid kissing and stuff.

It appears back of head foreground guy is more interested in the women instead of Mr. Alien.

“500,000 years after the total extinction of his race for office, one man can be brought back to life; he is
THE GINGRICH”

Have you ever had that dream? The one where you’re back in your retro-futuristic high school and everyone is staring at you and all of a sudden you realize you’re wearing nothing but your nebulae?
June 20th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
Yep… and then the girls in their phony spacesuits start to point and giggle…

Those women are probably wearing the Playtex 18-hour girdle under their retro 60s chemises, which should provide sufficient protection against the vacuum of space..

“Who are you people and why do I now have a glow-in-the-dark groin?”
June 21st, 2011 at 9:47 am
I take my hat off to James at Post #18 — hands down, “Where’s Willy” made me ROTFL.
June 21st, 2011 at 9:57 am
Post 18? Do you have a time machine? ‘cos Post 18 doesn’t include the phrase “Where’s Willy’.
(Oops.)

“500,000 years… and you expect me to wake up without a morning glory!?!”
June 21st, 2011 at 12:27 pm
“Why is everybody staring at my sparkles?”
June 21st, 2011 at 12:28 pm
Upon further inspection of the cover, I’m a little concerned about where the guy in the back is planning to put that rifle/probe/thing… and I think naked-sparkles-man should be too.
June 21st, 2011 at 3:07 pm
“Where’s Willy” — haha — it would be a very very common category of bad covers… that’s for sure…
June 22nd, 2011 at 11:18 pm
Isn’t that Lee Majors?
Six million dollars – And all spent on vajazzle.

@Smith: It’s actually Steve Holland, who modeled for enough SF/fantasy covers over a couple of decades that he’s probably going to get his own tag here at Good Show Sir! one of these days.
(OK, in fairness, it’s him from the waist up at least…)

@Don Hilliard
Heh, that probably explains why he looks so familiar.
Erm, facially I mean.
July 12th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Hmm…The Alien looks awful familiar…I got it. It’s Cornelius from Planet of the Apes!
Somehow he’s managed to go back in time and father an ape-man from a human woman.

Center of the picture, holding the ‘laser’ gun: “My Gosh, Susan! What’s happened to that Alien’s buttocks?”
March 10th, 2013 at 7:17 pm
I wonder if the fact that he has no genitals might in some way play a part in why his race has been extinct for 500,000 years? The blurb certainly is not selling this book to me. Sounds like a frightfully dull reality show pitch to me.
“Tune in for all the laughs, gaffs, and drama when The Allen, whose race died out 500,000 years ago tries to fit into the modern world!”

But look at these people. They’ve evolved integrated fishbowl helmets. Clearly they’re much better adapted to living in space. No wonder his kind kicked the bucket.
