    Don’t worry, Snaily, we’ll get you to that French restaurant in time! *theatrical wink*

    Why don’t the horse and people have any bodies?

  4. Bibliomancer Says:

    It’s taken them four hours to get to the front of the cover.

    My money is on the racing snail from Neverending Story.

    Book 4?…depeche mode? snail a la mode?

  7. RachelJ Says:

    @MakkaPakka. It’s by Piers Anthony, so probably yes.

    Edit: In support of this thesis, the first book in the series is Virtual Mode, which has already graced Good Show Sir’s pages.

    I don’t know why this one doesn’t have a punning title, though.

  8. RachelJ Says:

    Other titles in the series no doubt include “Safe Mode”, “Church Mode”, “Mean, Median & Mode”…

    That severed horse head is definitely a message from the Mob.

    She: Wait a minute, this isn’t an eyestalk! It’s . . . it’s a . . .
    Snail: Hyunh-hyunh-hyunh . . . .

    You can be sure of Shell.

    I can’t get into this new form of chess.

  13. Longtime_lurker Says:

    Definitely more of a shellicky bookey than a snail, i think.

    Does the snail-rider know she’s being chased by mobsters riding a disembodied horsehead?

    When 8 year old Jimmy was given free reign to draw the horse head nebula.

    A scantily clad lass spread eagled on a giant snail/slug, 40% of a similarly-unclad lass riding 30% of a horse, and a random head. All swooshing around underseas with a school of shark things. Which might explain the missing bits.

  17. Tat Wood Says:

    I don’t think this ‘dark’ reboot of ‘Star Vs the Forces of Evil’ is going so well.

    @Xeelee: Horse, Other Girl, and Hunky Floating Head are with her _in spirit_.
