    “Hello, I am Eva.” “And I am Adele.” (Obscure Eurotrash reference).

    Travel to the future year 1982, when Art Deco-Droids rule the Earth!

    “The rotating restaurant waitress has no nose.”

    “How does she smell?”

    “Awful.”

    I have to admit I really do love the Penguin covers. I would take this on a bus with pride!

    ANd I’m going to try and make me a set of those sunglasses!

  5. Tom Noir Says:

    After seeing this cover, I am definitely considering OTHER ways.

    What does she look like without the airbrushing?

  7. Phil Says:

    Wasn’t this a Grace Jones video?

    Much as I like her egg-timer noggin, it’s her volume-control peepers that make this cover. I bet they go up to 11.

  8. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    Wow, Rosy from the Jetsons has really lost a lot of weight!

  9. Phil Says:

    She also has a touch of the Prof Farnsworth about her.

  10. Alessandra Says:

    I rather like this one, actually. It was painted with skill with references to Art Deco and ’50s diner décor, and a nod to ’30s-era houses of the future. It’s got an early-80s Devo vibe, and really is not all that bad looking.

    Even if the woman has no nose.

  11. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    I like the star field background. It looks so tranquil–

    Wait. Why is the rotating restaurant farting out of both ends?

  12. Tim Says:

    Anyone else notice her head above the shades is a different color than below the shades? Her nose matches the top, maybe it’s one of those Groucho nose & glasses (and skull cap) things….

  13. Alessandra Says:

    It’s also wider than her face on the left. It’s clearly some sort of hat.

    Half robot. Half baseball. All woman!
