Click for full imageDead Stuff with Big Teeth’s Art Direction: Tinfoil! Tinfoil is the future, my dear boy! Look, see how I look when I wear it as a hood. Now paint me on the rest of the roll, but as if I were a one-dimensional tigerman. And how the money rolls in!

OK, I agree, Frosties were always better than Ricicles.

!!!!! What am I looking at? Is the tiger wearing the cover as a helmet? Is it a tiger jigsaw piece pasted on a metal wall? What? What?

Gregory Benford contributed to this madness??? I hope he was young and needed the money.

Wow, the artist was on fire. I love how the names have been incorporated into the mechanical thingumyjig whatsit.

Cyborg Tiger? What’s the difference with regular tigers, as they would tear the same your head off with those mighty fangs?

@Elvraie. I think the word you’re looking for is “Tyborg”. And really, next you’ll be doubting the efficacy of swords for dragons.

And in next weeks episode of That Darn Kzin!, That Darn Kzin! gets stuck in the dish washer. Again.

Man-Kzin tiger, burning bright
Baen’s cover artist drew you right
And added all the authors’ names
To frame thy tinfoil symmetry

Oops! looks like they forgot to mask kitty’s whiskers before applying the tinfoil effect. No wonder kitty looks pissed off.

Anyone else getting a “catperson space pirate” vibe? Because I am.

I’m getting a strong Filmation vibe – the Kzin were in ‘Star Trek: The Animated Series’ (looking a bit bedraggled and the colour of a hot water bottle) but this feller is far more like Battlecat from ‘He-Man’.

I keep reading it as ‘Man-Kini Wars’. Now picturing cat people in mankinis.

Today, everyone’s comments made me smile! Good show, all, jolly good show. 🙂

RachelJ Tyborg! Why I didn’t think of it and Baen too, in the process.? It would have been right up to their street. As dinosaures with swords. Terrifying or what?

Picture a horsefly crawling over that tiger’s face, and its eyes… and it won’t be able to reach the fly.

@Elvirae: you mean ‘Dinoswords’, don’t you?

Eye doctor: Now, Mr. Kzin, which is better, this one? Or this one?
Tyborg: Rawr!

Most of these covers depict the same cat, oddly enough. You’d be forgiven for thinking cyborg eyes were standard cat equipment.

@Monty: Most, but not all. There’s that one cover with the bazooms front and center.
@Tag: Does this predate “It’s Howling Time”? Should be added.
