Audacious indeed, to call your book The Spinner A Science Fiction Book Club Selection! Although as we’ve seen, that’s also signing yourself on for terrible cover art.

Definitely set in the modern United States, featuring spinners and drilling for oil without heeding the environmental costs

The Dude and the Spinnerman went to town
In a beautiful blue pair of shoes
They took some honey, but looked kind of funny
Living the lifestyle they choose;
The dude looked down to the the strands all around
And sang while the Spinner just stared,
‘O lovely Spinner! Our love knows no bounds,
But I wish that your mouth was still there,
Still there,
Still there!
How I wish that your mouth were still there!’

“In my Liverpool home…” Looks like he got carried away making his Aran jumper. Now I’m off to give blood…

I’ve seen him in Times Square, catching a smoke with the fake Tickle-Me-Elmo, hustling the tourists to take his photo.

Poor Charlton Heston just can’t catch a break. First the whole Soylent© scandal, and now this. Snazzy blue topsiders, though.

Spinnerlady? Then this is a romance. How sweet.

Whatever you do, don’t look up “spinner” on urban dictionary.

“Hey, Spinnerthing, nice hair! Why don’t you spin yourself a wig or something, will ya?”

Somebody with more acute vision than I, please help—what is sticking out of Spinnerthing’s chest?

THE SPINNER
The Toy Craze That Spun A Generation Into its Web Of Nonsense

I’m pretty sure this classic is also known as ” I have no neck and i must climb “

Either that guy has a preference for creepy costumes, or he’s actually an alien. I mean, he has four-fingered hands and three toes!
Although the guy in red is apparently unbothered. He must also have Spidey powers to climb up there.

@Anna T: I figured between the mortar between the bricks, and the sticky goo web, Red Jumpsuit man didn’t have too much trouble getting up there if he’s any good at free-climbing at all. Which is who you’d send up after Weirdly Chested Spinnerthing.
Also, Red seems to have all his fingers and thumb the same length, which would help in keeping a secure hold.
The actual SFBC cover has Spinnerthing as a hairy ape. There’s a guy in a red jumpsuit, though.
If we had a “weird hands” tag, this would deserve it.
@TW: +1 for the Web of Introyj tag!

Part of the same universe ?

@JP – I think it’s part of this Piserchia/Dongen universe.

Here’s a how-dee-do. Can you put your chin behind your shoulder like Red Jumpsuit has done?

Did you ever read a fantasy or sci-fi novel where the author is describing some strange creature and you just know that what you are imagining isn’t quite what the author was going for?

The perspective on those buildings seems a bit wrong to me, but it could just be all the spinny-web-stuff that is confusing things. At least there is no ambiguity in those blue-bike-reflector eyes. Clearly The Spinner is saying to the human: “Get your own network of sticky strings! This one is mine!”

C-3PO doesn’t look at all like it did in the movies….
