Perry Comments: In an alternate universe, happy King Binro is lauded for his theories of celestial mechanics, and receives backrubs from Bok, for some reason.
Published 1988

Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning!

    “Eheheheheheh! …call the Executioner!”

    “Huh huh huh! His balls are on fire! Huh huh!”

  3. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    The green fellow at left is distraught because he’s cold, and not all bundled up. Perfectly normal feeling, as a matter of fact.

  4. Tat Wood Says:

    An alternate “Ribos Operation” with Joe E Ross as Binro: “Ooh! Ooh! The Catacombs are full of Shrievenzales”.

    It’s not good to be this king. Uncomfortable throne, clothing made of drapes and not a buxom wench in sight.

  6. Ray P Says:

    If only Gandalf had thought to bring a juggling jester when he visited Theoden.

  7. B. Chiclitz Says:

    “Wait a minute, where’d my, er, scepter get to? I was just holding it here in my hands, like so, and now it’s gone! I’m sure it’s got something to do with those fiery balls.”

  8. Bibliomancer Says:

    No need to juggle fire. You could probably entertain this Demon Lord with just a laser pointer.

  9. Noel Says:

    Is it a throne or a commode?

  10. Anna T. Says:

    “Bok” appears to have had an encounter with a great deal of soot in the altogether, if you get my meaning. And the jester appears to be Pansy from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, having got a new job.

    I have no explanation for why the Emperor’s new clothes are made of drapes.

  11. Ray P Says:

    Jonathan Pryce, Tim Curry and Hugh Laurie star in King Lear.

    Jester: “And now I shall tell you a hilarious joke. When the queen saw the King’s new yellow satin robe, she said: ‘Methinks it’s CURTAINS for the King.’ Get it? Curtains? He-he!”
    King: “OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!”
    Jester: “Everyone’s a critic… I know you’re out there, I can hear you –”
    *CHOP*

  13. Tom Noir Says:

    Serious comment: while it’s a clever idea to have a map in the background, the cover text runs over the map text, which makes it confusing and hard to read.

    It just feels very sloppy.

  14. Tat Wood Says:

    The position of King Binro’s right hand suggests that he finds Stuart Fell’s fire-juggling really really exciting. Sooty Bok is saying ‘you’ll go blind, my liege’.

  15. Ikari Gendo Says:

    Less than great balls of fire.

  16. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @Tat Woodβ€”that’s where the missing “scepter” used to be located! Seems as though he didn’t go blind so much as lost a “limb.” Oh those whacky magickians!

  17. RachelJ Says:

    Karanda… Karanda… Just doesn’t seem the right name for somewhere a demon would be lord of, does it? I mean, really, it sounds like it should be a country town in Australia.

    Perhaps the twist is that the whole story takes place in the deranged minds of the inmates of Karanda Psychiatric Hospital (NSW)?

  18. anon Says:

    My lord, you’ll find this tablecloth on your shoulders complements the rug on your lap. Also notice the colour matches the piss yellow you’re so very fond of.
    I do hope this juggler is more talented than the last one. I like the new linoleum floors even though the wallpaper still looks a bit scorched.

  19. Revellion Says:

    I read this one back in high school.
    As I recall, it got wet and swelled up to 3 times its normal size. The librarian was unimpressed.

  20. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @Revellion: yes, but what happened to the book?

  21. anon Says:

    @Revellion: Did you also feed it after midnight?

  22. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Rob Ford is…

    THE DEMON LORD OF CANADA

    Book Three of the Slurpy Storm

  23. Emster Says:

    Hey, @GSS x-n: Armor of Light was giving me deja vous for awkward throne scenes, and this is why…

    I see your monarch/wizard and raise you one creepy demon!

    Emster of Canada

    PS – @DSWBT: GSS, eh?

  24. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Emster: Well-played! This one is even weirder and overall worse.

    Is the juggler using fiery balls (ahem) because it’s the only light available in the throne room? Did the Demon Lord forget to pay the electric/gas/flaming torch bill?

  25. Bruce A Munro Says:

    Sure, selling your soul for unlimited massages may seem a poor deal, but _you_ probably remembered to lift with your knees, not your back.
