@Bibliomancer—Of course. What else could it be? BTW, I like that “Florida man” stuff you were concocting with @JuanPaul. It could easily get out of hand, though, if we extend the rules and just put in “Florida” wherever we think it might be apt. Like here, for example, Battle Circle: The Visionary Trilogy of Florida’s Barbaric Future.
Huh. Somehow this cover is less than the sum of its previous separate covers.
Oh, that was just at first glance — embiggening reveals… too much.
Where’s Mr. The Rope?
Is the foreground guy Mr. The Eggbeater? B/c backgrounder could be The Sword.
And who’s Mr. The Valet for Bad Prosthetic (Florida) Man?
“It slices! It dices! Cooking is made easy – with the new Kitchen Hand! Chop off your old hand NOW and call this number to order the amazing Kitchen Hand…”
“But wait, there’s more! Call in the next five minutes and we’ll send you the Wonder Towel absolutely free! Perfect for your frenemy who stands in the background doing nothing to throw over his shoulder! Call NOW!”
I get the feeling the two human guys are twins. The fighting one looks up for a second, and recognizes his long-lost brother as the ogre makes a killing blow. Tragedy ensues. Prosthetic hand twin dies and stick twin has to finish the fight for revenge, all teary-eyed because although he found his twin at last, he never got to know him.
Come on @TW…Just cuz a guy is missing a couple of real hands, there’s no need to discriminate. You can see he’s clearly trying with what little he has….Ok, how about just Jazz Hand, without the plural 🙂
@ARY: I fell out of my chair. I would say that slayed me, but that might get too literal.
I kept on looking for an Oldsmobile Delta 88 on the cover….

Neq the Scissors

Why Jaime Lannister doesn’t have a Neq sword for his right arm has always bugged me.
June 28th, 2018 at 2:00 pm
@fred GOT final season, Jamie gets a dragon-glass sword-hand!
June 28th, 2018 at 2:12 pm
What if Edward Scissorhands had been a buff cage-fighter rather than a goth/emo hairdresser?

How does he get his leathers on? How does he go to the loo?

bad-um-dumb-dumb
Sos the Rope (dumb-da-dumb)
Var the stick (dumb-da-dumb)
Neq the sword (dumb-da-dumb)
Look at me-ee-ee
All together now (all together now)
All together now (all together now)

Those have got to be some of the worst prosthetics ever devised – all he can do is fight. He’d need help with eating, going to the toilet, etc.
June 28th, 2018 at 4:38 pm
@Anna T.: …and male grooming. America’s barbarous future still has hairdressers and waxing salons.
June 28th, 2018 at 4:53 pm
@B. Chiclitz – Nice! BTW Sos’s favorite Beatles song is “All You Need is Rope”.
June 28th, 2018 at 6:57 pm
@Bibliomancer—I guess Var’s would be “Stick Together”?
June 28th, 2018 at 7:10 pm
@B. Chiclitz – And Neq’s would be “Carry that Sword”?

America’s Barbaric Future
So this book takes place in… 2019?
June 28th, 2018 at 8:45 pm
Hey you there. Think you could lend me a hand?
June 28th, 2018 at 10:43 pm
“Hey, Var. Maybe you could take this one, looks like your sort of fight. Sticks, you know. Var? Buddy? Please?”

Sos the Rope?
Is that something like the old USA saying “So’s your old man!”?
July 2nd, 2018 at 2:25 pm
Oh yeah, kids say that all the time. “Man, that fidget spinner is so lit!” “So’s the Rope!” “Let me snapchat this!”

What, no jazz-hands tag?
July 5th, 2018 at 7:29 pm
@AS – Jazz Hands? They’re not even hands !

It’s too early for a “Jazz Knives” tag, I guess.
