Imagine a cycle of three checkin’ each other out, stamping on a human face… forever.

How did he get into this high quality establishment w/o wearing a tie.
Easy to tell who the Ass Man is.

@fred – Look out! When the Ass Man is BEHIND YOU!

Lieutenant Columbo’s early, pre-rumpled cases sure were a lot weirder.
“Just one more question, ma’am, and then I won’t take up any more of your time. Isn’t every gateway really a gateway to elsewhere?”

This novel isn’t much on character, but it’s got a great back story.

Judging by standard laws of perspective (always a little dicey with a GSS cover), that dragon’s gotta be fifty miles long. Looks like the entire army of little guys is just blithely marching into its maw.

So we have a giant vampire head and a 1950s businessman watching a giant belly dancer whip up a tornado for unknown purposes, maybe to deal with the giant dragon outside.

Evil Orson Welles contemplates another of his unfinished projects: “The Lady from Shag High.”

When even the giant disembodied head looks at the genie with suspicion, you probably should phrase your wishes very carefully.
@B. Chiclitz – perhaps the dragon is the local equivalent of a jumbo jet and they’re standing in line to board?

@Tor: More like The Other Side of the Wind. And this is probably more entertaining.

Is Fangy Hulk Head checking out “Gollee!”-Businessman’s ass, or angry that he’s blocking the view of Giant Belly Dancer? Or just angry at the whole situation, and who could blame him?
Has the dancer even noticed anything else?
Why is the camel caravan obligingly lined up to be dragon snacks?
Why did Businessman decide to go to a world full of Middle Eastern tropes? (Edward Said disapproves) And why’s he still wearing his raincoat, then?
And since BOTH sides of that arch appear to be Elsewhere, that Gateway can’t be the titular one.
Although, 4th dimensionally, maybe? But wait, I thought the 4th dimension was time, and at no time did any of the things pictured (except Businessmen) actually exist.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯, indeed. I’m sticking with the 5th Dimension. Catchy tunes, good harmony.

@GSS – isn’t the 5th dimension where Mr. Mxyzptlk hangs out?

@Bruce (prev.)
Don’t forget about the Eighth Dimension – where all those baddies from Planet Ten were banished in “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (Across the Eighth Dimension)….

The sixth and seventh dimensions don’t get no respect.
December 15th, 2018 at 1:42 pm
@Bruce – I thought the 5th Dimension was where Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr hung out.
December 16th, 2018 at 3:45 am
@Alice – perhaps the fifth dimension is big enough for both them and the magical pranksters to have their own places. After all, the first four all extend some ways.
December 17th, 2018 at 9:40 am
Considering some of the outfits the 5th Dimension wore back in the day, perhaps Billy, Marilyn, et. al. fell afoul of Mxy?

@GSSxn (#18):
I’m gonna vacation in the 6 1/2th Dimension. Much less crowded there.

One of the disembodied heads from ‘Spirited Away’ has escaped. Slightly stereotyped..?
