It’s such fun to look back at the original designs for the iMac!

The alien menace was defeated by the Scouting for Boys’ section on knot-tying!
Oh, goodness, I need more coffee and I need it now.

… and in a classic Rod Serling twist, ‘Wandl the Invader’ turns out to be – THE WOMAN!

The story was originally published in 1932. A rather unkind review.

In keeping with a recent trend, I’m seeing “Wandl” as a verb. So let’s sit around and wandl the invader. Should be fun.

@BC: I used to wandl a bit back at university, until one night I starked and woke up in a ditch. No more of that for me!

Someone dropped a bollock when they approved this.

Weirdest ‘I Love Lucy’ episode ever.

“Oh, hello Wandl. I was actually expecting to see your father, mr. Pacman.”

I notice the cover blurb says “A New Planet Menaces the Solar System”.
Fuzzy Pink Alien over there only looks like a planet in the sense that he’s spherical. And try as I might, I just can’t see him as a menace.
He does seem to be dangerous enough to make that woman wear clothing the same colour as him, though.
. . . Although, if he IS a planet, and the appropriate size, I would be more scared of her, given that she’s larger.

She’s rendered helpless by her ridiculous shoes.

@anon: I think it best to avoid Mr. Pacman and his offspring. Even if you have Solid Snake in your entourage.

I think she’s trying to edge her way off the cover before she can be seen with this alien escaped from a notebook doodle.

Our only defense against the invaders was… well, any football club, really.

A new planet menaces the Solar System. Maybe. It could be. We haven’t sussed it out yet.

Wandl on over to Project Gutenberg and enjoy it yourself.
