THE FANNY PEOPLE

A planet full of naked women and an improbable flying machine. This is an anime waiting to happen.

Now I see why nerds keep complaining about the lack of flying cars

Tell Trump there’s gotta be a planet like this somewhere in space, and he’ll give 100 billion dollars to NASA.

The bird second from furthest right has a conspicuous tan line…how did that happen?
January 19th, 2017 at 1:17 pm
I think clothing isn’t on the list of possible items that flying car is carrying.

Beautiful females…Non-human…The Victoria’s Secret models?

Those ladies must hope he’s flying blind on that rocket-cycle.

It may say more about me than the cover but I keep wondering about that flying sled. How does it take off or land? Why isn’t it in a perpetual loop-the-loop? Can it alter its height above ground or is it just a semi-dirigible projectile?
The more I think about it the more it seems as if something designed to run on a rail has shot off the track and is about to smash into a tree.

“Look! Up there! It’s Bob! On his flying bobsled! Coming to give us bobtails!”
January 19th, 2017 at 4:06 pm
@TomH: terribly sorry about piggybacking on your riff, but I just can’t resist:
‘Look, up in the sky!’
‘It’s a bobtail!’
‘It’s a bobsled!’
‘It’s Bob!…AGAIN, that dirty perv!’
Edit: not to be confused with Sir Bob of Bobbington, a fine upstanding fellow of good family and excellent accomplishment.

At the very least, the driver of the flying vehicle is eminently distractable by the sight of a crowd of attractive, young, tailed women – who are also, importantly, naked. I wonder if that’s some kind of public bath or something.
January 19th, 2017 at 4:35 pm
Could this be Dark Bob of Twin Peaks? Fire slide with me.

Credit to the artist for showing restraint and not designing the ship to look like a flying phallic. Although, that would have made the cover something special.
January 19th, 2017 at 6:08 pm
Well, it seems you can read it for free online! Fortunate you, then.
January 19th, 2017 at 6:09 pm
I wouldn’t call it restraint; the cover seems daringly risque for 1962. I wonder whether the book faced distribution difficulties because of the full-frontal mass nudity.
January 19th, 2017 at 8:55 pm
It’s a tailgating party!
January 19th, 2017 at 10:03 pm
I would suspect the tail-babes are MUCH more attractive naked. You put clothes on them, try to make them civilized, and then you’ve got babes with rat tails. Eww. Even furries don’t dig that, I suspect.
OTOH, the tails mean that the artist could easily avoid depicting bum-crack, which probably helped with the censors then.

Huh. Looked on Gutenberg and it’s really not a bad book. Workmanlike, but less salacious than the cover shows — even though the cover is completely accurate, down to the nekkid women and the airsled.

More flesh mob than flash mob, right? My mistake, it’s one of those art projects.

@GSS Martyr: lemme guess, you’d give it three stars of five like everyone else on Goodreads? 😉
January 20th, 2017 at 1:10 am
@DSWB Queries: Probably. Maybe 2.5. It was good for its day, but it’s average for now. It was *shrug* a’ight.
January 20th, 2017 at 6:23 am
I see everyone is paying attention to detail.
All this nakedness and not a sheep to be seen. Must have taken ages to position the models

I think the driver of that sled stole all the settlement’s clothes. The woman pointing up is shouting, “Stop, thief!”
Also: woman second from the left: “Oh, my back aches and my muscles are all stiff. Wish I hadn’t slept on the ground.”

@Tat Wood
My theory is that the trailing things are legs with webbed feet and the sled usually waddles like a duck but it can do the occasional leap to impress the ladies.
Ladies? Naked ladies you say? On this cover? Must’ve missed ’em.
