It totally belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!

@Tom Noir. Next time just take the damn picture and stop being artsy with those Instagram filters!

“My breasts have been likened to the Apples of Love. Observe the red of the nipples.” And I thought there might have been more than a little artistic license occurring here. Silly me.

Ostrich: ‘Just a little further, just a little bit further. Then we’ve arrived. Then I can get her off. OFF OF MY BACK SIDE. Ah, no, stay focused. Keep calm. Just a little further.’

Wolverhampton’s changed a bit since I was last there.

There’s a tragic lack of the JUST SO MUCH YELLOW tag here, given that this cover seems to be basically the epitome of yellowness…

If she lives long enough, her horns will grow so long that they dig into her cerebral cortex. Good show, sir!

God, I could lose myself for hours in those deep, lustrous eyes.
I’m talking, of course, about the ostrich. Where was I? Oh yes. I propose a new tag: nonsense titles. Would also apply to “Tarra Khash – Hrossak!” among others.

Sequel to “The Minikins of Marmelade”

All I can think of is how painful it is on the crotch to sit in that metal saddle…

@Scott B: I think a more generic tag of “chromatic unbalance” would be of greater use.

More candidates for the ‘nonsense title’ tag:
Swell Foop, Trullon – Alastor 2262, Rork!, and Manalacor of Veltakin, which for all I know could be a sequel to this book.

If it were transliterated as ‘The Minikins of Llam’, it would make an excellent title for a novel set in a Welsh mining town. Perhaps a class-and-clan feud, in the style of The Mill on the Floss or Lorna Doone…both of which would qualify for Tom’s title tag.

Has anyone else taken notice of the fact that this woman’s breasts are floundering across her chest like she’s just stuffed them down her dress? As an owner of breasts, I can assure you they aren’t generally positioned like that.
As an aside, if you must ride into battle on an ostrich, a tight white nightgown is not what I would choose to wear . . .
