Glenn Comments: An alpha male, a naked lady, a cautious beta male, and a 1950ies era high tech explosion. It’s a time capsule. A horrible time capsule.

Dr. Spencer’s “Shower of the Future” was not a huge success.

Dude looks like he’s got a headache. We could call it the Hangover Machine instead. ‘Where am I? Who’s this woman? What did I do last night?’

The Abs Machine

“Don’t be alarmed, disorientation is perfectly normal after nipple and bellybutton removal.”

“Are you sure this is the way our ancestors used to procreate? I feel a bit lightheaded.”

“OK, which one of you bastards has my left kidney?”

I keep looking for Mike and the ‘Bots in the foreground…

Damn, I forgot to put away my blow-up doll before I passed out

More tiny people, this time under the bonnet of a 1962 Ford Anglia to which someone has added a show-offy air-filter. They’re sat around on top of the battery.

“A forensic examination proved that the three unidentified persons had been electrocuted by the numerous live wires which were scattered around the room. The Chief of Police says that to prevent such accidents, the public must be taught to treat electricity with respect.”

The new Skybox at ancient Forbes Field can be dizzying when first entered…

Why is the image even sheeped? You can hardly see anything!

Yes, that strategically placed elbow is doing most of the heavy lifting here.

Good heavens, is this really the notorious [They’d Rather Be Right]!
Unusual to change the title to disguise the fact that you’ve won a Hugo award for this work…

‘Ha ha ha, Groo, I’ve already stolen Prince Philip’s nose!’
‘…did I err?’

“I can’t believe you’re cheating on me with the cable guy!”

If this guy needs something this elaborate to get in the mood, maybe he should just find a hobby.

“Sure your future space machine gave me great abs, doc, but it also melted my left foot and my right hand! And she’s still laughing at me like she used to!”

That cable around his left ankle looks positively ominous for everyone on this cover and probably the whole universe.

The woman appears to have the same face as the man which presumably makes him either Arnold J. Rimmer or Donald J. Trump.

You deserve everything you get when you hog the Orgasmatron™.

That woman looks incredibly bored. Probably fed up with the men playing their electronic gadget bondage games, while she’s lounging right there showing off her nice figure.
@FB: or John Simm’s Master.
(Because it’s a rule that GSS threads converge upon Doctor Who references.)

@fred: so that’s why the guy on the right looks alarmed! He’s trying to tell him not to get up until he gets the wire off his ankle – and removes the thicker cable that looks like it’s plugged into his arm…
Is it just me, or does the Machine look like it has a goofy grasshopper face?
The original Astounding cover shows the effects of failing to flip the test subject over halfway through the process.

How could I have forgotten? Answer: with great effort.

I don’t even know why Space Sheep is there (other than we all miss it and are happy when it appears). Look at her left arm – it clearly shows she is wearing a short-sleeved catsuit.
