@Tom Noir – You win the comments today. I got nothing better than that. 😀

‘Tar-Aiym Krang’ is the noise the machine made when they loaded him in.
Edit: I stand corrected. Tar-Aiym Krang is the noise someone else made in response.

What a noisy place to belong
Is the Tar-Aiym Tar-Aiym Krang.

He set the controls for the heart of the sun. Or sonic attack.

The guy on the right seems to have some impressive dance moves . . . if he’s not collapsing at some sound obviously not conveyed in the picture.
Also, I’m not sure about that tanning bed. It doesn’t look especially safe.

Is it possible that the Tar-Aiym Krang is some relation to
Tarra Khash: Hrossak!- a cousin, perhaps?

@RachelJ – The Gibberish Twins?
August 12th, 2016 at 2:03 pm
@Tag Wizard Sounds right. No doubt they’re close friends of Manalacor of Veltakin and Fize of the Gabriel Ratchets.

@Dead Stuff (#6). Thoughts on that article:
– I am genuinely surprised that a first novel entitled “The Tar-Aiym Krang” ever resulted in a second novel, let alone about 100. Good show, Alan Dean Foster!
-1972? “Flinx’s quest to discover the identities of his parents and the source of his strange mental abilities” began in 1972!? I read one of these published within the last ten years and the poor chap was still searching the galaxy, none the wiser. How depressing.

@RachelJ: his searching technique involves putting his dragon on his head, underneath his crash helmet, and then jazzing out in his specialty stereo. Unless his parents are hippies, maybe it’s that he is simply awful at finding things.

It’s always in the last place you look.

@DSWBT – Thank you for making my day…I love it when people can make jokes about Mandelbrot.

You know, nowadays these old sci-fi classic can be re-released in ebook format — at a fractal of the original cost.

This little-known spin-off of the heavy-metal magazine KERRRANNG!! folded after just one issue.

I am currently reading a book by Foster wherein he discusses some of the many novelizations he’s written. “The Director Should Have Shot You”. Chatty, although badly proofread. Barely worth the $1.99 I paid.
In it, it is revealed that the estimable Lester del Rey opined that this was the worst possible title for an SF book. But he published it anyway.
I believe everyone agrees with Lester’s initial thought.
(Flinx finally found out what his origin story is in 2009.)
