That poor, poor snail!

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?

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?

@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.

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 . . . .

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

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.

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_.
