The only real criticism I have of the cover is that there is something more interesting than, and in the opposite direction from, a miles-wide spacecraft taking off in the downtown area of a major metropolis.
Oh, and the story was written by Leslie Galalalalalala.

Leslie God-Allah? That’s a tad redundant.

“A book about two humans in Lycra and a cat-person? Who’d pay to read that?”

Spaceship looks like wigged George Washington wearing a kendo mask and bulky headphones.

Is that Wonder Woman’s mom?

Nice to see kitty got the silver medal in… javelin?

“What’s this?? The Dynamic Duo getting tricked out by a giant alien pimp-cat? Tune in next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel!”

@Tom Noir: A better question to ask is “What convention did these two escape from?”
And, for that matter, what mad scientist has been creating giant, sapient cats? I mean, you know what normal cats act like already, so who thought making giant sapient ones was a good idea?
Or maybe all three of them were dropped off by the spaceship departing in the background. Your choice.

Is that guy wearing a catsuit? And the cat is wearing his birthday suit? I’m very confused.

It may be her pursed lips and air of superiority, but she reminds me too much of Mawgawet Thahchaw. Whose figure certainly wouldn’t be flattered in that top. 🙁

Cat person seems to have the body of a kangaroo from the neck downwards.

The Sartre play that was obviously the inspiration for ‘Taxi Driver’. You got your pimp, your tranny hooker and your ticking time bomb rocket taxi driver.

Jerboa-cat and the Lycra Twins looked on in horror as Mile End tube station was trashed by Godzilla.

Hell is other people’s lycra outfits.

Cat-Beast: ‘So, I’ve got this slightly-used medallion from off a Wookie rebel…any idea where I could fence it?’

Homesick and stranded on an alien world, he wasn’t looking for dendrobranchs–but freshwater dendrobranchs were looking for him!

@Ray P(14): Hell is other cat-people.

@RayP, Perry: Hell is putting lycra outfits on cat-people. 😀

@RayP, Perry, Dead Stuff: Hell is cleaning cat fur out of other people’s lycra outfits.

What do cats have that’s worth hocking? Other than the odd knobkerrie and old-guy medallion, of course.

Should we assume that it’s the cat or the man who is stranded and homesick on an alien world?
January 31st, 2016 at 11:17 am
@HBw: in a Shocking Twist ™ it is revealed that the man, the lady and the cat are all the same person!
January 31st, 2016 at 5:11 pm
@DSWBT – Wow, I should have seen that coming! (How much does it cost to trademark a Shocking Twist?)

If you actually read it, it is a very good and quite original story.

@Ben Johnson: I read that so-called novel your grandfather Samuel wrote, and it was bollocks. No narrative at all, and the hero George made only a few brief appearances. I certainly hope you’re a better judge of quality writing than he.

@Ben Johnson—Ben Jonson? Ben Ionson?
This Figure, that thou here seest put,
It was for gentle Shakescat cut:
Wherein the painter had a strife
with publishers, to pay the price:
O, could he but have drawne his wit
As well for Ballantine as he hath hit
His flagon, the Print would then surpasse
What toddler ever writ in brass.
But, since he cannot, Brother, over-
Look the Booke: just dig the cover.

Jeez guys. What a way to scare off a new member of the commenting community 🙂
Now I’ll never know if that cover is an actual scene in the book.

@Ben Johnson: it’s not so much whether the content is any good, it’s whether the cover-art gets in the way of anyone wanting to give it a shot.
