    I am picking up a very strange ‘butt vibe’ from that face. And I’m pretty sure that no matter what you are, ‘butt vibe’ and face are not two things that should go together. Oh, and having two golden eggs crammed into your eye sockets just looks incredibly uncomfortable.

    What are those round things on the sides of the mouth? And what is the smaller thing below it?

    A moebius strip always comes in handy. I carry one with me everywhere.

    Infinite wimple.

    I refuse to mock a cover that has the name Donald E Westlake on the cover.

    Editors shouldn’t edit elsewhere and elsewhen, but HERE AND NOW. Or this is what happens.

    Groff Conklin. Now that´s one heck of a name!

    @JV: my grandmama died of conklin in her groff! And that is what she looked like at the funeral.

    It’s amazing what a little lipstick can do to enhance the features, girls.

    Seems to me there are a bunch of characters from the Kirby series of video games that bear a strong resemblance. Bubble Bobble, too.

    I will never be able to look at an avocado again.

    Ova Gangam Style?

  13. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    They would have improved both covers if they had switched this artwork with Lady of the Bees.

    For those of you who don’t know, Groff Conklin was one of the greatest editors/anthologists who ever lived. His name on the cover guaranteed good reading on the inside, no matter how bizarre the design.

    Hey the URL says this was page 10000.
    Did I miss the party?

  16. Anna T. Says:

    That face just reminds me of an alien I saw somewhere, probably on Doctor Who. I still don’t get what’s up with the golden eggs, though. Or the Mobius strip.
