You’ve been so prolific lately I’m thinking of adding a “JuanPaul Monday”. The rest of you. Start sending in more covers! — GSS Admin

The Hair movie flopped, Beverly D’Angelo, give it up.

So, uh… any theories on what’s supposed to be happening in this scene?

That guacamole is probably the most intelligent life form on the cover.

@gssadmin aww you *blushes*
P.s. and that’s only a quarter of what’s at at the local use book store. Quite a bit left to discover.

@gssadmin: I know I’ve submitted a number of covers through the years that have never shown up here. I don’t know if they’ve vanished into some kind of spam filter. Just for one example there was one called Superbaby which I am quite sure I sent in ages ago. You should rifle through the broom closet and see if there aren’t a few other covers stashed away in there.

@Tom Noir – My apologies. If you or anyone else had an especially terrible cover you have submitted, that failed to get posted during our heydey years, please resubmit for reconsideration.

For a kaleidoscope, it’s kind of weak on the color variations.

Catherine Deneuve IS “The Girl with the Bib-Overall Tattoo”.

@admin: it’s been so long I have trouble remembering what I have and haven’t submitted. But I just sent you three I don’t see on here.
April 23rd, 2018 at 2:41 pm
@Tom Noir. Thanks but could you please send them through the submit button on the site. I’m having trouble with direct sends to my email address.
April 23rd, 2018 at 3:43 pm
@Tom Noir – Superbaby is quite terrible, as promised. I’ll have it up later this week!

‘Flashdance’ – the Industrial Injury Compensation Claim edition

Is that kale I do scope leaking out of the box?
April 23rd, 2018 at 4:39 pm
@GSSAdmin – sent all three using the submit button! Do you see them?
April 23rd, 2018 at 4:42 pm
The other two were ‘O Pioneer’ and ‘Privateer’.
April 23rd, 2018 at 4:42 pm
@TN – Yes. All good.

Tag Wizard, you missed a ting! Maybe it doesn’t count because the ting is on the graffiti, meaning it was applied by some graffiti artist in the world of the novel, who probably doesn’t appear in the novel as a character. This hurts my brain.
April 23rd, 2018 at 5:41 pm
@JuanPaul – Would Ting! on graffiti lettering be fonTing! ?
Does graffiti even have a font?
The differences between the “lens flare” tag and Ting!
Discuss.

I’ve re-sent a few but my favourite, from the French collection, is too big to attach. It’s a jpeg at the moment, just under one MB. That’s one reason I ditched that camera.

@Tat: The photos I take with my phone are too big. I open them with Paint, hit “resize” and reduce the width to 1,500 pixels. Then they go through.

I sent in a BUNCH of covers you haven’t used. Months ago. Through Submit. Ask TW. A batch in October and another a month or two later.
I picked up a Dick Blade novel recently, but it’s one of the later ones and the cover is pretty boring. Dull colors and Dick’s wearing full trousers.
I wonder if this cover has anything to do with any of the stories (one’s called “The Girl Who Took Lessons”, wink wink nudge nudge) or if it was cheap from the “80’s Art Closeout Sale, All Covers Must GO!”
Much as I pester TW to add tags, I don’t see any reason for Ting! here. Nothing in this gray cargo hold/warehouse is bright enough to Ting!
Is there a tag just for “jeans” or does that also require “t-shirt”?

You’ve got a Dick I haven’t seen? I demand to see the Dick!
And yes I’ve been waiting for ages to use that one.
April 24th, 2018 at 10:45 pm
The girl looks like she just socked him on the jaw and he’s falling back, but her arm is in the wrong position. The cover would have been more exciting if she had.

I’ll submit the Dick (a-hem), but I warn you, it’s disappointing. There’s cleavage but that’s it. Also the plot was dull and Dick was way too un-caddish. He was basically James Bond in a barely-alternate England and Eastern Bloc. All the sex was consensual. Dragons do pop up at the end, but only as genetic constructs. #24 “The Dragons of Englor”.
Regarding this cover, it looks like dude is about to do the Flashdance bit.
April 25th, 2018 at 10:21 am
Flashdance has now been appropriated by Deadpool, I’m afraid.

@GSS Admin. Cover sent earlier today. Very shiny, with many tentacles. I think you’ll like it.
September 6th, 2019 at 10:15 pm
The cover that screams “I’m too cool for you to deserve looking at me.”
Perhaps it’s Art. Or maybe just pretentious. I have NO idea.

Way back @Rachel J—I’ve been pondering your question for more than a year now and I think I finally know the answer: yoga toe bending exercise.
