Blue: It’s okay, dear, don’t be sad.
Pink: I’m not sad, I’m actually quite happy.
Blue: Damn these immobile metal faces.

“Don’t fret, my darling. The perfectly normal robot eggs you laid in this field will rest quietly until they hatch, and then our little robot children will come romping across the grass to … oh no! … BEHIND YOU!”

Boobs that unscrew! Who wouldn’t want that??

Is a egg head better than a hare head?

I like to imagine that there’s a flock of silver chickens flying overhead…

The copy I have has a bad stain from an earlier user. It’s a roman-a-clef about underpaid, undervalued human SF writers and the corporate hacks (literal tools) who write the books that sell.The cover is almost literal.

I think this is their wedding picture.

How many silver eggheads does it take to make a bad cover?

🎷Floating eggs will hover over
Naked robots in style
In the air
There’s a feeling
of Sci-Fi
Robots smiling
Quite beguiling
Conic sections for breasts
And in every old bookstall you’ll find
🎶 🎶
Silver eggheads,
Silver eggheads
Time for a wry wicked spo-oof
Ring-a-ling, Leiber sings
Maybe I’ll finally get paid! 🎶

It’s nice, though I’m not sure it has the… flair(?) of the cover of the version I read once upon a time:

@ScottB: ‘Flair’ is indeed le mot juste. Although, I’d beware that blurb…the competition for Derleth is nought but a series of Lovecraftian pastiches.

This is the only remaining copy of this edition — virtually all other copies were burned at a university campus rally for the crime of “sexist color appropriation.”

@A.R.Yngve: how do they know the robots aren’t trans?

I have the same cover as @Scott B (13) which not only has more flair but is more like the plot of the book.
It is much funnier than Derleth ever was, could be or even understand, so the blurb is puzzling. Part of the joke, maybe?
(I’ve almost gotten back to a year ago in GSS!)

One floating silver egg to another:
“Crazy kids today and their whole “bodies” thing! Where will it end?”
“I blame that ‘My Little Hominin’ show myself.”

I told you The Blue were coming. Nobody listened.
I didn’t count on The Pink, tho’.

@TBAC: Nor the silver!
GSS!
