“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!

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

What does she look like without the airbrushing?

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.

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

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

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.

I like the star field background. It looks so tranquil–
Wait. Why is the rotating restaurant farting out of both ends?

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….

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

Half robot. Half baseball. All woman!
