Sci-fi version of Leda Ravished by the Swan meets Poe’s ‘Thou Art The Man’? Yet somehow less than the sum of its parts.

In this French edition they translated the pants right off of her.

It has a retro Flash Gordon aspect refracted through Dali and seventies sexploitation. Will this woman end the oppression of the hamster-men?

The spaceship pilots took one look at this motley crew and hit the after-burners.

@JuanPaul: But they didn’t make it far, I’m afraid.

I’m trying to work out which Tiptree story this is:
Love is the Plan, the Plan is Dumb
The Women’s Clothes Men Don’t See
And I Awoke and Found Me Here, Standing on my Head with Myself Glued to My Abdomen
The Streaker Who Wouldn’t Do Awful Things to Rat-Men
I’ve Got Two Pairs of Armpits But I Love to Play

I can’t rate this. I don’t know how embarrassed I would be reading it on a French bus.

Bottom Head to Top Head:
Dude, I don’t know what you’re looking all grumpy about. The view from down here is distinctly less palatable than what you’re seeing. When do we get to flip sides?

She actually seems to be wearing some sort of gossamer-thin garment. I guess that’s why we don’t need a mouton de la space.

Perhaps she has informed the aquatic interloper that this pool is a woman-only nudist area and he should leave. And take his gopher-slave with him.
December 1st, 2016 at 4:13 pm
That . . . man . . . is taking a headstand to new and disturbing territory. His cat-person slave is suitably disturbed, as is the underdressed woman.

@dswbt Ah, the nudist pilots of Darkover. This cover makes much more sense now…though I still can’t make heads or tails of that two torso alien.

The Pushmi-Pullyu’s first wish was to become human. His second wish was for a girlfriend. It’s his third wish that drove things a bit round the bend.

Dear Father Christmas,
I have been very good this year. I did not vote for Donald Trump.
This year, I would like in my Christmas stocking:
–a nude woman
–a cat person
–an albino Archaeopteryx
–the King of Thailand, or maybe two
–a fleet of spermatozeppelins
–a quiet place to go in the mountains
And lastly, I think you should know that spending time with fellows named Dancer and Prancer isn’t doing much for your macho image.
Happy Holidays, DSWBT

Donald Trump is Father Christmas. Everyone gets a self-assembly Mexican-proof wall.

Grab Blitzen by the antlers.

Not that it matters much, but does anyone actually know the title of this book?
December 2nd, 2016 at 5:57 am
@B. Chiclitz – isfdb.org says it’s a short story collection, French translations. There is a whole series of Le livre d’or de la science-fiction books. Most with righteous covers.

“You’re it!”

@Tag W—Thanks. I saw that page. Some of the books have titles, some just the author’s name. Is this any way to market a “Golden Book” series, I ask you?
December 11th, 2016 at 5:24 am
As an American of a Certain Age, my thought was “wow, the French versions of Little Golden Books were WAY different from ours…”

The game warden is here and those two (uh, three?) city boys have been busted for hunting albino pheasants outta season.
(Is that the new Ministry o’ Environment office in the background? Fancy!)

@Emster: I like your concept, but I’m thinking it also might be 2-ish boys being brought in by Warden Sans-Culottes for hunting giant birds and hamster or bear people.
Of course, neither hamsters nor bears have tails, so maybe it’s a chimera of some sort. The tail looks like it was going for monkey, but the head isn’t. Gerbils don’t have faces like that. Rodents don’t have eyes placed like that. I’m thinking bear-person with monkey tail?
I’m also thinking it doesn’t have squat to do with the contents. Unless there’s a story I don’t know called “Moreau’s Isle, Moreau’s Isle, Do You Read?”.
