Are we supposed to guess which one’s the screamer? Also, wasn’t the author the cop in Top Cat?

Doesn’t seem very sporting shooting an arrow into that sabretooth from such close range. Especially when it’s looking the other way. Although maybe that’s the best way to hunt sabretooth cats when you’re dressed for a ball at the Playboy Mansion.

How could such a skimpy dress shove her right mammary into her armpit?
Notice the position of the sabretooth’s canines. It CANNOT close its mouth without damaging its jaw and teeth!

Does she have three breasts?
But wow, I read this a long, long time ago and I thought it amazing. Fantasy with SF elements. Don’t remember kitty though, unless it was one of the avatar-like beings. Back when avatars were not as commonplace.

I recently bought skyrim and I was appalled at the amount of suitable looking armour they have in the game.
I want to adventure like this! In a loin cloth and cape! Epic!

She may have a convex stomach, but she also has major cameltoe.

Not much of a pursuit, he’s behind you.
All the time I was watching ‘Top Cat’ I never realised Officer Dibell’s first name was ‘Ansen’. Does Sabre-tooth talk like Duane Doberman?

Judging by how much those capes are blowing she must have some kind of weight sewed into the hem of her loincloth.

Sybil Danning?

“YOU shoot that sabertooth tiger in the head at point blank range, I’LL be over here stabbing this orange balloon with my knife!”

He’s saying: ‘I should have brought my compact mini-shield instead of this one.’

if its cold enough to bring a cloak dear, it’s cold enough to wear some actual clothes.
Although, apart from the slightly iffy tiger, this cover is pretty good!

“High SF on a par with Norton and Bradley”…
The blurb needs an explanation:
Back in 1978 there was a short-lived duo of stoner comedians named Norton & Bradley from Minnesota, who tried to be “the white Cheech & Chong.” And they wrote a near-forgotten SF novel about a pair of stoners (themselves, probably) who got abducted by aliens and taught them to smoke weed… hence the reference to “High SF”.
Ain’t literary history fun? 😉

I thought Norton & Bradley were a firm of estate agents.

Wot, no ‘font problems’ tag? Look at the Ns in ANSEN. Look at the C in SCREAMER. Problems, problems, nothing but font problems.

This title begs to be published by the PlayboyBookClub. Tens of thousands of sadly misled teenage boys would have furtively purchased it, and then of course ben too ashamed to protest.

Unintended double post. Tried to correct my spelling. Not really that clever.

Hunting sabre-toothed tigers in your swimsuit and opera cape – just what every practical-minded female warrior should consider!

@TW: how do you pursue a screamer? With an archery weapons tag!
November 8th, 2016 at 4:25 am
@AnnaT. I doubt practicality is the main concern of a female warrior whose idea of putting on a dress is to nail it to her pelvis.

@RachelJ—I think that’s Velcro®. It’s more science fiction-y.

@Tag Wizard—I never noticed it before, but I’m seeing more than a smatter of Smirky McSmug on this cover.
