Click for full imageArt Direction: We’ll have the male sitting on an Ikea chair like he’s James Bond with laser guns and space ships. We’ll put him in some sort of spandex suit with knee pads and fob that off as armour. With the girl lets go for nudity but we’ll photoshop in some clothes later. What we really want is, plenty of side boob! Therefore appealing to both genders… right?

These guys will do anything to win a game of chess. I guess they are trying to distract each other, he takes out his laser she shows her… bishops.
Your move captain, your move…

An empire defended by Dominic Flandrys is just not going to last. For one thing, it’s too easily distracted by a pair of breasts.

What is that girl DOING? Standing on one leg with one hand on top of her head holding a shoe…why, why?
Hang on, I’ve just thought – of course, they’re playing strip chess. Silly me. It all falls into place now.

They were definitely going for the Bond look, which is not too entirely inaccurate for Flandry. He *definitely* gets distracted by looks (until it matters).
(Why is this tagged ‘cleavage’? None at all is visible.)

@Nix – Cleavage is effectively our tag for boobs! You’ll never believe the people who get their knickers in a twist about that one out there on the inter-ma-webs.

This might be somewhat pedantic, but I just wanted to point out that the chair in question is Arne Jacobssens classic “The Egg” which retails for something like 6000 euros… Scandinavian yes, but IKEA it is not…

Wow… good knowledge Jeff!
If I am looking right it’s not only a Arne Jacobsen Egg.. but a hover version. I’m sure that would put on a few euros to the price!

Our brave, rock-ribbed hero Captain Flandry suddenly finds himself projected into a canceled Fox Network sci-fi show!

The girl’s attitude towards Captain Flandry might cool considerably if he accidentally shot her, so I think he should take his finger off the trigger until he’s less… distracted.

Looks like they photoshopped in her right leg, too. Either that or it’s her parasitic twin’s.

Captain Flanders? I must have missed that episode of the Simpsons.
Good okely-dokely show sir!

Captain Flandry: Heh heh this is sure going to be a distraction from our chess ga–hey wait, is that my prized “Limited Edition Holiday Cling Film” collection you’re wearing?! How could you?!

Flandry: “Why do they keep sending stripper assassins after me? It’s getting tiring.”

The female toplessness is, depending which stories are included in the collection, sort of accurate – not in the sense that the scene as drawn occurs in any particular Flandry story but there were at least a couple of stories in which Flandry visited worlds with warm weather where my impression was Anderson made a game of trying to slip into his scene setting that all the females were topless briefly and subtly enough to escape notice on first reading.

In Flandry’s field the ladies glow
Before the chessmen, row on row,
That mark his manhood, and his fear
That she is just a bit too near
And so his gun, that trusty rod
Will stave off her bodacious bod
While Flandry, manly, goes to war
Pretending that he could have scored.

Take up our quarrel with the foe
And march our pawns to the final row
Your bra remove and hold up high
Strip chess for keeps is how we vie
If ye break faith we died in vain
Stuck painting covers here at Baen
Like Captain Flandry

Oh, Flandry. I thought you said ‘Laundry’

@B. Chiclitz – Perhaps you would like the original oil painting hanging in your mancave.
A bargain at $7200:

Thanks @ Bibliomancer. At least now I know where the other shoe got to, as well as the rest of the white pieces on the chessboard. But I think I’ll pass on the purchase. I’m saving up for this cool bear suit.

I clicked back to this one after our Flashback Friday of the next, and I must say B.C. and B’mancer did a swell job on comments 18 & 19. I want to hear some guy read it aloud in a plummy voice. Good Show, Sirs.
