    It’s Mrs Bagpuss! Cover the eyes of the mice on the mouse organ!

    Frankly, if I were nude, so large as to affect the gravitational pull of planets AND stuck outside the breathable part of the atmosphere, I’d be pouting a bit myself.

  3. Smith Says:

    Imagine the size of the litter tray…

    Do you think Penguin would be interested in a story about sexy female alien penguins?

    O_o

    It would appear the cover is worthy of the contents:
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2009/apr/03/hugo-awards-fritz-leiber-wanderer

    This book actually won a Hugo Award in 1965. Sam Jordison, whose review is linked to above, called it “crap by any standard” and “not just bad, it’s dire.”

  7. Joachim Says:

    I’ll defend Lieber a tad — I disliked this book but LOVED the experimental The Big Time which also won a Hugo — a Hugo he deserved….

    And everyone thought it was harmful gases that made the hole in the ozone when it was just a giant cat-lady using the earth as a scratching post!

  9. Donald Simmons Says:

    … what a wonderful world this would be.

    Helena Bonham Carter should star in the movie version.

    Fritz Leiber was a Furry?!?

  13. drlemaster Says:

    Checking Alessandra’s link:

    “Why on earth did Fritz Leiber win the Hugo?
    Boring characters, sludgy writing, sex scenes with alien cats … ”

    Oh, maybe that’s why. A.R., I’m afraid you are correct.

  21. Tat Wood Says:

    Today (19th July 2019), instead of talking about the Moon Landing or Boris Johnson, everyone on social media is claiming to be grossed out by the trailer for the film version of ‘Cats’.

    Lightweights!

  22. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Tat: To be fair, it is even more disquieting when there’s movement.

    I wouldn’t say I’m grossed out, more creeped out by it. The stage version didn’t go into the uncanny valley so it wasn’t so… much like this cover.

    We watched the livestream of CBS News of their original coverage of the Moon landing. Which I remember watching with the family in the wood-paneled den.
