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: 6.05 out of 10)

    Of course, Winter Solstice will occur AT ANY TIME if you include the entire cosmos.
    So it’s always Christmas in space!

    And remember, in space, no one can hear you pull a cracker.

    The Christmas dinner on Rigel V was almost perfect… until Uncle Morton ruined the mood with another one of his drunken, racist rants.

    Man: “Sorry I’m late, everyone. It’s hard to land a rocket directly on a planet with no lander and in the snow. But I got the party snacks.”

    I actually asked myself why everyone on the planet seemed to be keeping their Christmas tree in ONE dome, then thought, “What, personal Christmas tree domes on the winter planet? Don’t be silly…”

  18. A.R.Yngve Says:

    And have a Good Show Sir New Year, everybody!

  19. StevenLP Says:

    On the back cover it has “Praise for a few of the contributers” … that could have been phrased so much better!

    I would’na thunk BAEN could produce a boring Xmas cover. I give it a “Christmas Story’ burned out department store Santa “Ho….Ho….Ho”.

  29. Perry Armstrong Says:

    @fred: do you think they should’ve gone with Jim Baen: The Masterful Lord Himself as Santa – missed opportunity much?

  30. Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Says:

    *looks around*

    Is this the future?
     

     
    …I suppose?
     

     

     
    …all right, then.

    Happy New Year, to the entire GSS cosmos!

    If you shake that dome up and down, it snows all over the Xmas trees!

  33. Tom Noir Says:

    Yeah, it’s new years and then some! Hey admins, lets get some new covers for the new year!

  34. Tag Wizard Says:

    @ Tom Noir – We regret to inform you that we have finally posted every terrible sci-fi and fantasy cover that has ever been published.

    I will attempt to rouse Lord Admin from his champagne-induced coma to see if he can share with us a final Old Year Sum Up to commemorate this achievement.

  35. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Tag Wizard — I don’t believe we’ve run out of covers!

    Because there seems to exist a very strange information paradox in our day and age: Thanks to the Internet, the amount of bad art produced IN THE PAST is always increasing in the present — even from farther and farther back in time.

  36. GSS Admin Says:

    *wakes up under a sea of whiskey bottles and beer cans*

    What…. Hey what time is it? JANUARY!?! Better get some covers going! Sorry for the delay! Back tomorrow!

  37. Tom Noir Says:

    @Tag Wizard – All the bad covers ever?? Careful. You know I might take that as a CHALLENGE!
