The attempt to update the letterhead for the Royal College of Surgeons fell short of expectations.

I’m getting a strong Dee Snider vibe from that naga. It must be the eye shadow.

Why, yes, it was published by Playboy Press! Why do you ask?

The oversized scrunchy wristband is doing nothing to conceal the obvious career-ending dislocation she no doubt suffered trying to grasp a sword hilt the same circumference as her neck.

@DSWBT—NAGA. That’s the North American Grappling Association, right? I think she’s an expert grappler, judging by the size of that hilt she’s grappling with. On the other hand, she also appears most literally to be a Twisted Sister.

Ann-Margret was a surprise addition to the Clash of the Titans cast.

From the size of that letter opener, I assume the she-snake is under a foot long. The tiny ones do have an attitude, though.

The alternative cover of Smell the glove. “That’s just nitpicking, isn’t it.”

Didn’t the Wheel o’ Time books use the same font?

“But what begins with marriage vows will end in echoing screams of the damned – in spilled blood and sobbing, throat aching terror.”
This quote should have been included in the oath when I married my first wife.

@ Billy Awesome – Ha! That’s no sword hilt Billy. No, wait, it is. This cover is messing with my mind.

I initially thought the snake was the woman’s leg, and that she was holding the sword between her legs. Which, considering the tone of the cover as it is, would not be out of place at all.

@B’Mancer—hey, I too had one of those!

“But what begins with marriage vows will end in echoing screams of the damned – in spilled blood and sobbing, throat aching terror.”
Isn’t that lurid cover inappropriate for a documentary about marriage? (I kid, I kid.)

I think the full wrap-around cover is pretty good. But they did a crappy job of cropping it. Snake lady looks like she’s stabbing herself with that sword on the front cover.

This is the revised title. The original title was similar, but used a different word that rhymes with ‘Hunt’.

The way her neck looks, she might be the only person who can’t turn her head when the hunt goes by….

@Tom Noir—You mean “All Heads Turn When the Punt Goes By,” the story of a science fiction boat ride?

@BC – You must mean “All Heads Turn When the Blunt Goes By”, the story of a fantasy doobie.

@B’mancer — You mean “All Heads Turn When the Shunt Goes By”, the story of a science fiction arterial implant.

GSS x-n — You must mean “All Heads Turn When the Bunt Goes By”, the story of errors in a fantasy baseball game…. 😉

I think we all mean “All Heads Turn When the Runt Goes By,” the story of Harlan Ellison.
May 22nd, 2018 at 10:01 pm
You must mean “All Heads Turn When the Grunt Goes By”, the story of a US Marine.

Good Show, us!

To save you all the bother of going through all 22 pages of ‘Sword’-tagged covers, here’s one that allows you to make Penny Mordaunt jokes AND slag off Jeremy Hunt.
