Good Show Sir Comments: Surprisingly, he got these trousers off the rack. He just bought two pair and had the tailor do some arse alterations.

A centaur ambassador down with the hip-hop moves? Yeaaaah booooooiiiiieeeee!

How could he wear the top hat with all that hair?

He’s just a regular old Oxford professor with a graduate student in the back of the horse suit.

The suit looks like a hand-me-down from Winston Churchill. Must be why it fit so we’ll.

Send Narnians back through the wardrobe.

That’s the thing about Centaurs—you can dress them up, you can send them to Oxford, but they’ll still leave a trail of road apples in their wake.

He’s got the rarest form of Bighanditis, the one with the Two-Thumbitis variation.

I think a cover of the centaur Benjamin Disraeli would have been better as a dandified 20 year old.

@B. Chiclitz – It’s the Shaka sign.
Apparently he is a Hawaiian surfer centaur who ended up an Oxford Don.

@GSS admin—the alt text for this cover is particularly droll. Thank you 😉

His murder was investigated by Inspector Horse.

@BC
Thank you. When it was time to write the alt-text, we only centaur best!

You mock his thumbs, but I bet his desk-drumming skills are, well, stellar.
January 11th, 2018 at 5:27 pm
@JP—hmmm, stellar too?

That centaur has a better tailor than some world leaders.
Although I’m not so sure about the hat, with those ears.

I imagine Oxford is going to be facing a lawsuit over equine-accessible restrooms. (lavs, the loo, the w.c.)
And I pity the poor attendant who has to unfasten his trousers for him.
January 11th, 2018 at 6:23 pm
@Tor I think it goes a little something like this.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:11 pm
@JuanPaul: Lol. That centaur needs an “anatomical issues” tag.
January 11th, 2018 at 8:26 pm
@JP—nice image I’ll work hard to purge from my brain. Imagine being the hind side of that centaur!

This advert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYqNu0CwjUc may explain a lot.

@B. Chiclitz: Don’t be upset. He was just taking the piss.
January 11th, 2018 at 11:45 pm
That’s a really fat “S” you have there, Professor Centaur.

Regarding the mouse-over text, I wonder how the Olympic Committee would rule. I think they’d say Neigh.
I have several others in this series. Good content despite the art. I’ll have to see if any of the others have daft covers.
@Francis, @Anna: Maybe Ape-o-hippus has slits cut in it for the ears. His tailor does seem to be quite talented.
Although what’s the blue sash about?
@Tag: does this also get “suits you”?
Bloody hell, the students will never have to worry about him sneaking up on them unexpectedly. Hooves on cobbles will be quite the racket. “Cheese it, Basil, Prof. Centaur’s around the corner!”

What’s up with the top of his head? Is he a Neanderthal centaur? *crosses fingers, because that would be awesome* And that’s not a shaka sign. I think he might belong to a street gang. Either that, or he’s saying ‘your mother is a whore’.
January 12th, 2018 at 9:29 am
Actually, I like this cover.

@ARY I’ve liked the Brothers H since I was a young fantasy geek. Often heavy handed (p.i.) but they elevated fantasy art.

@5: we’ll build a wall! And Aslan will pay for it!
January 18th, 2018 at 8:46 pm
I think he’s got two thumbs on each hand…you could almost say “he’s all thumbs”
