Some may question it as an Olympic sport... but planet fork flower vase quill blood writing will catch on.Click for full image

Tat Wood Comments: Remember this? Well here’s how France saw it. Neither is entirely representative, this being a novel about an Australian sheep-shearer (in Space!) who buys Earth at a department store. Sort of. The sad thing is, Cordwainer Smith wrote extensively about cat-people but the artists never got the hint.
Published 1980 (maybe)

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 8.43 out of 10)

    That’s not cat-people… it’s beetle people. The Beetles.

    I have to give this cover a 10. He really stuck that landing on the dismount.

    That’s a change, an artist showing off instead being high on something!

    @DS w BT: The Studio Ghibli title if Studio Ghibli is still Studi Ghibli after the retirement of Hayao Miyazaki at Studio Ghibli.

    Most awkward poses can be explained by a mishap or being photographed at an inopportune moment. This isn’t one of them. This has to have been mostly intended. By someone.

    Also, not my area of expertise, but there must be a better way to catapult a moon than this. For example, whatever you are using it for, there has to exist superior alternatives to an impaled, half-frozen halibut.

    @anon 11: Until you mentioned it I didn’t even notice that was a fish. I thought it was an odd flower vase with a single red rose and figured this was a finalist in the “Most Extreme Decorating Challenge!” TV show.

    @Scott B: That’s not a surgically-altered, genetically-engineered cat-person, that’s a cougar with a jet-pack A different thing entirely.
