Andy’s Art Direction: What we need are spaceships and penises. Or if you can’t fit both of those on the cover then just combine them.

I’m a little wary of sticking my head above the parapet, in case I’m met with a chorus of ‘you WHAT??’ but I have to say … my penis really doesn’t look like that.

I think those kind of thoughts require a cold shower. Actually it looks like part of a novelty wallpaper chart.

Someone certainly put a lot of thought into the typography and layout.

This is how Manseed was launched into orbit.
Believe it or don’t, the first thing that caught my eye was the font design. Whose bloody brilliant idea was it to double down on the HOUGH in an ultra-slim sans serif font?

Pictorial evidence for the Panspermia Theory of the origin of life in the universe.

This needs a font tag. There should also be a phallic objects tag.

Dragon/flying fish/pterosaur: “Hey – watch it! I´m flyin´ over here!”

Thanks rev (ünd töte Gëbïss), font problems noted. Think we’ll leave the “less suggestive” tag description to our Chinese affiliate / overlord-in-waiting.

Thoughtworld. I don’t know if the denizens of this world were thinking much when they came up with this design for their ships. Sure to give that flying lizard some envy, however.

If I were the author I’d sue the publisher for malpractice.

Maybe it started out going to be a praying mantis then they thought ‘naah, let’s have a spaceship’.
January 28th, 2014 at 3:13 pm
I don’t know which is worse. The fact that someone went and built a fleet of penis shaped spaceships, or someone took a fleet of penis shaped spaceships and then put each one in a giant panini press.

I am reminded of one of the Austin Powers movies where Dr. Evil launches his phallic rocket, and they have the chain of onlooker comments cut one word short. Frex:
That rocket looks just like a big…(cut to control room)
Johnson! Get in here and look at this missile launch. It looks like a shaft with a couple of…(cut to baseball game)
Ball three! Hey, look at that… etc. etc.

Terry Greenhough thought-“world”
but all he got was a gigantic flattened penis.

The mental affliction “spaceship envy” was unknown to science before Hugo Gernsback single-handedly created it in the early 20th century. Spaceship envy has since grown into a multi-billion-dollar business of books, movies, TV shows and computer games.

Now, I don’t know all there is to know about spaceship design. But it seems to me that having two small windscreens, one on either side of your space ship, and none at all in the middle, is an oversight.

This website has really been on a roll with the last few postings. Good show, sir!

Another promo image for an unrealised Flesh Gordon sequel. This time, evil Emperor Wang the Perverted (‘The Moustache That Launched a Thousand Penis-shaped Starships’) has his sights set on the innocent population of Thoughtworld. Our hero saves the planet and the chastity of its inhabitants, but finally loses his virginity to the dashing and reckless rebelleader-cum-spacepilot Prince Precious, etc etc etc.

Evidently another contender for the much-coveted “Freudian Slip Award.”

Just five years too late….
@Jaouad(#18): You were too late, even five years ago. Already exists – penile spaceships and all…
