UPPERCASE AND THE DREAMER
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:16 am
That look of anticipation is positively lewd. So that’s what happened for 40 days and 40 nights.

@Tag Wizard – Face Ting! on the buff robot! Haven’t had a cover with Ting! in a while!

Pillowcase and the Dreamer – Fantastic Tales from Bed, Bath and Beyond

Totally obvious now where Gary Wright got the inspiration for ‘Dream Weaver’.

There’s something weird about the mouth, as if this is one person hiding inside the skin of a different, slightly larger man. After seeing that, the circular drawers in the child-friendly morgue and the leering mortuary-attendant robot seem relatively sensible.
Hang on though, coloured circles, bodies suspended and cut up… this isn’t Damian Hurst’s early work, is it?

For some reason those coloured circles make me think this is on a ship travelling through hyperspace, and that LSD trip is what hyperspace actually looks like. Why robot space knights should be transporting floating Jesus statues through it boggles me, though.
Unless, of course, floating Jesus statue guy is actually the Dreamer of the title.

Grade 3 Teacher, P.S. 2, Scranton, PA— And so today class we will look at some fantastic
tales that are from the future and beyond.
Little Billy—
But teach, that’s metaphysically absurd. How can something be beyond the future? It makes no sense.
Teacher:
Oh yeah? Well, you should get yer ass in gear and we’ll trow back some keggers and boilo at the ‘DC or hit the weed like a champ.

@B. Chiclitz: I know I shouldn’t, but I laugh every time.

@Bibliomancer(5): your comment had me in fits of giggles – Good Show!

@THX—I know, me too. Apologies 😉

I like to think that Hugo Winner married Nebula Award, and she took on his name, and they’re living together with their adopted child Other Stories Award Winner (‘Ottie’ to her friends) in the town of The Future and Beyond, Hertfordshire.

Before you go on a hypersleep trip, make triply sure the crew members aren’t perverts.

Look here now! I clearly said “Gort KLAATU barada nikto”. Does that look like Klaatu to you? ‘cos it sure doesn’t to me.
Honestly, you just can’t get decent unstoppable death dealing robots these days.
