    Doc Savage: Musical of Bronze.

  3. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Art direction: ‘Whatever.’

  4. JuanPaul Says:

    It’s more like the “why?” factor.

    Yup, that’s me, picker of the low hanging fruit…though there doesn’t seem to be much hanging on this cover.

  5. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “I have returned to Earth, and brought back a three-headed mutant lion! Now, where’s my body oil?”

  6. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    Either he has Bell’s palsy or the artist doesn’t do faces.

  7. fred Says:

    The whole left side of his body is subtly different from the toes of his boots to his face.

    Lion #2: “so, he thinks it’s funny when we chase the little red dot? Your laughing days have come to an end, shiny man.”

  9. Tat Wood Says:

    I didn’t think Steve Brookstein had got that desperate.

    (How’s THAT for low-hanging fruit?)

  10. Ray P Says:

    “I see you got your shirt off again.”

  11. B. Chiclitz Says:

    Eventually, Zeppo got tired of always having to play the straight man, and abandoned the other three for a career in space engineering.

  12. Lillie Awesome Says:

    Sure, the wax-dip pants look great now, but the minute he takes a step, catastrophe (ahem).

  13. Anna T. Says:

    The three large cats seem scared of the shirtless wonder for some reason. Perhaps it has to do with his tight pants, or whatever it is he’s got in his right hand. At any rate, I wonder if he’s trying to summon a new shirt.

  14. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    @Lillie: I was about to argue with you about of what the trousers were made, but then I saw that his trousers have no belt loops. The belt is purely ornamental.

  15. Tat Wood Says:

    Is this the sequel? http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/?p=10419#comments

  16. A.R.Yngve Says:

    “Watch out, he’s got an atomic springknife!”

  17. B. Chiclitz Says:

    Been trying to decode this bronzeness thing, and realized it must be a science fiction version of the classic Coppertone®️ print ad. The furry guys behind him are waiting for the right moment, jostling each other to see who gets to make the big pull.

  18. fred Says:

    Whatever that is on his head looks like you could slice it up and serve it for dessert.

  19. Tat Wood Says:

    In the 100th episode of Stargate SG1 they did a spoof,’Wormhole Xtreme’. Someone said, of the title, ‘you need an X so people know it’s sci-fi’.

    I think we may be needing a new tag:

    snide Englishman accent “I think it’s completely rubbish.”

    I was going to suggest the “weird pecs” tag, but in fact those look okay. It’s the rest of his torso that looks wrong.

    Is his left side beaming in or out of frame? Are the fuzziness of that, the missing left arm, and the wrongness of the torso and face due to some transporter malfunction? And why is everything so beige?

    Do we have a generic “animals” tag? Because methinks those lions deserve a mention.

  21. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @fred—not dessert, it’s a slice of pizza.

  22. Anna T. Says:

    @Tat Wood: I second your motion.

  23. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @Tat Wood, Anna T.—I concur with you both. How do you think this new tag should read?

    I nominate “X Marks the Spot.”

    I’m too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
    So sexy it hurts
    I’m too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
    Poor pussy poor pussy cat
    And I’m too sexy for this cover

  25. Tat Wood Says:

    @Anna T., B. Chiclitz: ‘Brand X’?

  26. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @Tat Wood—il miglior fabbro! Gets my vote.

  27. Tag Wizard Says:

    OK I’ll get one of the staff to put together a “Brand-X” tag. Maybe a child labourer we hire for the Summer.

  28. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    “Awww yeah, I’ve been meaning to scratch that itch back there for a while now. Good thing one’s behind me, cause that would just be embarrassing.”

  29. B. Chiclitz Says:

    @Tag Wizard—I hear the taggers over at Chinese GSS are quite skillful and will work for the price of a visa.

  30. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Anti-Sceptic: that would explain his arm placement, and his lack of expression. No doubt the trousers are giving him a wedgie which he’s trying to clear.

  31. infoqueen Says:

    George Hamilton’s early career was shrouded in mystery…

  32. tselliotcartoon Says:

    TMI/mystery solved? still need hot drink

  33. Emster Says:

    Months of practicing was for naught – the lions took one look at scowling Simon and hid behind Tommy Tightpants for the remainder of the audition…

  34. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Emster: then the lions had to bleach their hair white and move to Vegas.
