♫ He’s Lonesome Cowboy Burt
Don’tcha get his feelings hurt
Come on in this place,
And I’ll buy you a taste,
You can sit on my face
Where’s my waitress? ♫

Ryan Comments: Defeated in single combat by a guy wearing a loincloth, set ablaze and hurled onto the waiting weapons of his own men – he was probably not impressing the babe in the bikini.

Good Show Sir Comments: This year sucked and Christmas 2020 is a grinch-fest. So let’s go back to a simpler, happier time when you could page through magazines (remember them?!) shopping for wildly inappropriate Xmas presents.

Presenting the Good Show Sir Megapost Cavalcade of Poor Christmas Shopping Choices!

1. This isn’t helping Santa’s chimney soot black lung

2. When Santa visits Miss Microsheen, it’s shiny boots and no red suit.

3. Give your wife a vacuum cleaner for Xmas and the Hoover will be the only one sucking your dick

4. The first rule about Booze Club is you don’t talk about Booze Club.

Have a happy holiday and we’ll see you in a couple weeks with our Olde Year Summe Up!

Now let’s all sit back and enjoy the He Man & She-Ra Christmas Special!

Who doesn’t love Swedish sci-fi covers?! Recall the fun we all had with Skeppsbruten på Tschai last year. We recently stumbled upon the delightful WordPress blog “enlitenbloggomrymden” (“small blog space”) which has a wealth of terrible covers from the publisher Lindqvist. These were published from 1969-1971 and I’ve included a few of our favourites below. Have at them and enjoy!

The Swedish Olympic Salamander Dressage TeamOch stjärnornas konungar dö

Plot a course, Mr SuluVindarnas Planet

Swingin' medallions indeedFrämmande Rymdskepp

Moorcock! She screamedSlutstriden

Good Show Sir Comments:

1. Swedish dominatrix says “your safe word is Ochstjärnornaskonungardö”

2. Flavour-sealed for freshness

3. Busted by the fashion police

4. Sluts-a-ridin’

Ryan Comments: I don’t think that the blurb writer understands how time works. And the illustrator has some interesting ideas about what occurs underwater.

Tag Wizard: And that brings Ryan Week to an end here at GSS. Thanks for the mother lode of covers.
