JuanPaul Comments: An artist with a mac and photoshop is put in a box and instructed to illustrate either a cat or a human woman. Until the box is opened and the artwork is observed by the outside world, the artist has created both a cat and a woman.

Give the guy with the Mac some credit: he completely resisted the temptation to use rounded corners.

There’s a quantum superposition at work whereby Orgasm Research simultaneously will try everything and won’t try anything.

Everything is under control. Cat control. As we expected.

Kudos for the boldest cover blurb of all time.

A cat, a woman, and a scientist from Orgasm Research walk into a bar.

Cat woman forlornly looking for the promised Homing Pigeons.

The experiment had gone drastically wrong, and now she was stuck with a cat’s face for all eternity.
And therefore, she’s sad because she can’t talk anymore.

I can’t help thinking of the second series of ‘Phoenix Nights’

A cat and a woman walk into a telepod.

Yet another unrealistic beauty expectation for women. And cats.

How does her neck work?

Poor kitty has a wig where her ears should be.

Here is some back cover goodness:

That back cover is doggerel, which seems wrong for a book with a cat woman who’s wondering where the pigeons are.

@GSS ex-noob – That’s what happens when you try to rhyme “this” and “is.”
March 17th, 2017 at 3:25 am
I meant doggerel, of course.
Apparently everyone involved with this cover, both front and back, had too many tokes. Or something stronger.

Goodness, I found my way back here! What could it mean…?

Cheap date. Just bring a laser pointer.

By the by, is “Tor” short for “Victor” or is it a corruption of “Thor”? I’ve been wanting to know.

@DSWBT
I am a fan of the comedy show “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” In fact, I learned about this site because of a link on a Facebook page for that show.
There was a Swedish wrester and actor named Tor Johnson. I assume that’s a variant spelling of Thor. He appeared in several movies that were shown on “Mystery Science Theater.”
There also was an episode of “Mystery Science Theater” titled “Tormented.” And so I cobbled together my username from the two of them.
Actual name is Patrick.

@Patricktor: Never heard of the show. Is it any good? 😉

Always good to have another MSTie on board. Keep circulating the tapes.
Tor Johnson was at the perfect level of acting talent to be in Ed Wood’s rep company.

Actually, I’m not sure if ‘bighanditis’ fits as a tag. That hand might even be a little small. Most people have hands nearly as large across as their faces. Not sure about cat-people, but people-people do tend to have hands that big. Purrsonally, I think we should paws and think about it right meow.

@DSWBT: It is my favorite show of all time, but it is a cult-type show. There was a 100% change in cast during its run, so there’s a wide variation in quality. Also, many of the obscure references to U.S. history, pop culture, etc., don’t translate well to other countries.
There is currently a rebooted version on Netflix that isn’t as good.
@GSS ex-noob: Hikeeba!
October 16th, 2017 at 6:21 pm
Wait, I didn’t even explain what “Mystery Science Theater 3000” is about! The show plays bad movies, and the cast offers humorous commentary on them.
And GSS shows bad sci-fi/fantasy covers and offers humorous commentary on them. You can see why I like this site so much.

@FluffyGhostKitten: Her hand is too big compared to her neck and shoulders, not big enough if her face needs to be covered fully, and too big if you compare it to the relative size of cat paws vs. cat face. A purrdicament.
Which I have just done, causing my cat to wonder why I’m staring at her face. Payback, kitty, payback.
