“Flow My Tears, the Author Said” when Phil Dick witnessed his publisher’s latest atrocious cover art.

Rejected concept art for the Stallone Judge Dredd?

Looks like they slapped the funny hat and the oversized aviator sunglasses on Michelangelo’s
David.

An orrery hat?
The Pan Science Fiction Cover. No hats, possibly helmets, but no hats.

I bet the artist dropped a pretty big f-bomb when he stepped back and realized he painted asymmetric sunglasses.

Aren’t the policemen looking younger these days? No, not younger… weirder.

Concept art for the Stallone remake of Truffaut’s version of Fahrenheit 451. Or the portrait of author Harlan Ellison as a young man.

As ways to tell Pugh and Pugh apart go this was one of the less daft ones.

We can’t stop here, this is dick cuntry!

Stallone f451 – like Trumpton but with a higher body-count. Edgar Wright directs.

I had no idea that in the 23rd century conquistador helmets and tinted lab goggles would become the height of fashion.
Also: What’s a “Pot-Healer”?
September 6th, 2016 at 7:32 pm
I will assume he has a cone-shaped head that fits snugly inside that helmet.

@Anna T: a pot-healer heals pots. As we all know, fractal geometry means that a ceramic that’s cracked in pieces can never exactly fit back together using known technology- but this is The Future. So Joe Chip, despite not really making much money on Earth, is the one person who can fuse shattered things seamlessly, which is handy as there’s a cathedral needs fixing on another planet. It’s also connected with Gnosticism, the Book of Isiah, Debussy and sarcastic robots, plus PKD accidentally invents the Babel Fish English-to-English Translator game in 1969.
Standard Phil Dick stuff, really.

So the *pot* healer aka a doctor who will give scrip for joints is by the same author as the man in the *high* castle ….
Wonder why the castle is high? Well, wonder no longer!

So…what colour is the galactic kettle-healer?

Misread the title as ‘Garlic Pot-Healer’. Something in the vein of ‘Horse-whisperer’, but for plants?
