Always nice to see a man who enjoys his work. Really enjoys it.

Gaikon. Is that like Comic-Con?

Is this from John Norman’s* little known bi period? And if so why isn’t it called ‘Warlords of Biekon’?
*Hey, ‘Jeffrey Lord’ isn’t fooling anyone**.
**Or ‘Roland J. Green’.

A quick backhand from the soldier and Blade won’t be smiling anymore.

I think the Warlords of Gaikon should call in the Plasterers of Gaikon to finish up that back wall.

What we can’t see is whether anyone’s got rubber-soled shoes to prevent them all sliding on that sloping tiled floor. The princess on the scatter-cushion mound is especially precarious.

That man . . . was he created by stitching together the torso and legs of two different men? I mean, the anatomical issues present here . . . I’m surprised it’s not tagged as such.

Is there a face in his chest? A scowling eye under each of his nips, his sternum is a nose…

Kabuki mask breastplate? Subcutaneous demon?

Is the name pronounced ‘gay-con’ or ‘guy-con’? Either’s interesting but the latter also offers cheaper car insurance from a cockernee lizard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG1U0ZqYSnM .

@DSWBT—maybe two faces, cheek by jowl? Pareidolia rules!

@Anna T. – I’ve seen so many bad covers the anatomical issues don’t even register anymore. Tag updated.

@B’mancer: why did you BROWN inflict that BROWN horrid thing on BROWN the world? What BROWN did we ever BROWN do to you?

@Bibliomancer—
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
And you know that she’s half-crazy and her name’s really Petunia
And she feeds you tea and oranges that remind you of some other sort
Of perfectly ripened fruit . . .

@B. Chiclitz – Is that Leonard Koan?

@Bibliomancer—not sure.

Dick Blade’s at it again.
Threatening the gladiator with a bloody sword, telling him “stop gaikon’ at my girl, Mister!”
Okay, I know. “gaikon”=/= “gawking”. I apologize….

@Hammy: it depends on whether it’s pronounced like ‘GayCon’, an LBGTQ+ convention, or ‘Geiko’, car insurers run by a reptile who talks like Max Branning.
June 11th, 2023 at 12:07 am
Gaikon. Rhymes with daikon. Is the damsel Miss East Asian Radish Festival Queen?
Really, Gaikon sounds like an anime series, or the con for it.
(Note — the Eastenders refugee insurance gecko works for Geico, no “n” in it.)
Is Dick going to use the squiggly weapon in his left hand to unscrew the plates in the guy’s armor, or is he dual-wielding sword and corkscrew?
June 11th, 2023 at 3:28 am
@Tat & GSS-xn (prev.):
Apropos of little, do you remember when the Geico Gecko ads started and there was an actual announcer as well as the Max Branning-voiced gecko? The announcer was a ham radio friend of mine from North Carolina. He did the audio production for the early gecko ads, the ad agency decided they needed a famous-announcer style voice-over, and Gary got the nod….

@Hammy: Vaguely. At the beginning and the end?
June 12th, 2023 at 4:41 am
@GSS-xn (prev.): Ugh. I tried to find one of the commercials, but I don’t see them on YouTube. Maybe I’m mistaken – I seem to forget or get confused about more things lately.
June 13th, 2023 at 1:20 am
@GSSxN (#26). You beat me to it! I was trying to think up a daikon joke but nothing I came up with was of any quality. GSS!
I am sure the squiggly weapon is just a waiter’s corkscrew in the 10th dimension or wherever the R Blade series takes place. Waiterlords of Gaikon! Michelin 3*!
