Typesetter Comments: “I swear the art editor told me over the phone the title was
“Panet of Whispers.” Never mind. I’ll just squeeze that “L” in.

Dang, B’mancer beat me to it. I was going to propose a single letter seeks good counter tag.

Leo: ‘Hey, baby…why don’t you slip that top down and let ’em breathe? We’re all doing it…’

They appear to live in that giant metal tube or canister. This is either a Chinese Whispers version of the 80s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ TV series or, and I hate myself for thinking this or using this combination of words, ‘Top Cat’ slash.

No dammit, it’s “Planet of Whisperers”!
April 4th, 2017 at 12:45 pm
Always with the cat people. Where’s the book about a planet ruled by dog people?
April 4th, 2017 at 1:37 pm
B’mancer: ask and ye shall receive. 😉

The secret is they are peoplelike lions and not lionlike people.

THE LIONLIKE PEOPLE OF NOS HOLD A SECRET GAS THAT THE ALIEN MESSENGERS WILL DO ANYTHING TO INHALE…
PLANET OF WHIPPETS

There’s only one way to account for Leo’s rather sharp (and somewhat smug) intake of breath—she’s leaning that left shoulder just far enough back.

“Thunder! THUNDER! THUNDER!!! THUND- what? Oh, sorry, I forgot we’re meant to be whispering…”

I have to say, I don’t think catperson fashion models have ever appeared on this site before.
April 4th, 2017 at 4:18 pm
She has…..something……. in her left hand.
April 4th, 2017 at 4:48 pm
Only a staff for protection ? No gold dagger,No silver ray gun ? Is that the secret ?

@Bibliomancer. I don’t know what you’re talking about. We haven’t had any cat people for (just) over a week. I was beginning to think something was wrong!
April 4th, 2017 at 5:35 pm
So much material for my forthcoming book “Sexual Dimorphism in Cat People “

Cats have no respect for personal space. The same is true for cat people. Cat-woman is ready to leap off the battlements to get away from Rum Tum Tugger.
April 4th, 2017 at 6:59 pm
Why all the complaining? This cover is PURR-fect!
April 4th, 2017 at 9:20 pm
“What’s new pussy cat!”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back off there, buddy!”
April 4th, 2017 at 10:34 pm
“Get it, Sheila? I’m a polecat. See??? POLE cat. Hah! Awww, you don’t get it.”

What with Rule 34, it’s a wonder cat people don’t have the catly appropriate 6 dumplings. I guess that’s to even out the lizard people having any?
She’s about to apply her claws to delicate parts of his anatomy.
They seem to be standing atop a tower made of cinder blocks, with a whole bunch of other cat people jammed into a crowd behind them. The metal cylinder appears to have nothing to do with the cats, they’re just milling around it.
@Anna T: Who better to be on a catwalk?

The 1980s, when furrydom dared not speak its name…
April 5th, 2017 at 11:13 am
Never before in the history of publishing has a furry looked more smug. (Smugger? Smuggy?)
April 5th, 2017 at 3:34 pm
@A.R.Y. – Whichever. Time to tag a Smirky McSmug.
April 5th, 2017 at 5:03 pm
@Tag Wizard—thanks for the tag. I know it takes the endorsement of more credible or senior members of GSS, such as Bibliomancer or Dead Stuff or A.R.Y. to persuade you, but in the end, it’s the tag that counts. 😉

‘Hello, I must be going.’

She’s got that look on her face because his Tinder profile picture was this.
April 6th, 2017 at 12:54 am
@B. Chiclitz: Tag Wizard added a tag for me just a few days ago, and I’m not a senior member. Of course it was the April Fool’s cover, so…
“Smirky McSmug” really fits here. Even with a face covered with and surrounded by fur, he manages to really convey ultimate smugness. Not sure why — it doesn’t look like that catwoman model is going to give him anything other than an elbow to the ribs and possibly a claw to the goolies.
April 6th, 2017 at 1:59 pm
@GssXN—it must be me then, not that I’m paranoid or anything . . . .
@DSWBT (27)—well, your no schnorrer.

The Holy Blood & the Holy Grail of Narnia.
April 6th, 2017 at 6:16 pm
Bad typo there—”you’re”—sorry.
April 6th, 2017 at 6:38 pm
@B.Chiclitz – I’m afraid if I give you an inch you’ll start badgering me again for that “weird pecs” tag. 🙂
April 6th, 2017 at 7:00 pm
@BC: no, it is spelled ‘schnorrer’. Source: Wikipaedia.
April 6th, 2017 at 7:53 pm
@Tag Wiz—point taken. Please note though that the pec badgering has stopped. However, there’s always my “face in tree” obsession liable to pop up at any moment.
April 6th, 2017 at 7:55 pm
@DSwithBT—Sorry for the incoherence. The typo was with the pronoun—should have been “you’re” and I wrote “your.”
A schnorrer is a schnorrer is a schnorrer, of which you are not.
April 6th, 2017 at 8:13 pm
@BC – But face tree already exists! What do you want next? A “tree-in-face” tag?
April 7th, 2017 at 1:48 pm
@Tag W—Hmmmm, “tree in face,” not a bad idea. I’ll bet Bibliomancer , with his massive knowledge of Chinese GSS, could dig one up. By the way, thank you for the true tagging wizardry you bring to the “real” GSS—no sarcasm.

Nice to see the Thundercats still getting work.
