So he’s looking at a cricket ball, as if it were the model for the thing he’s sculpting, and sculpting a woman. Someone with eyesight that bad shouldn’t be let near a cricket ball.
My first thought: This is a solid WTF.
Second thought: I don’t remembeer any of Sturgeon’s stories being like this. Ted had some trippy stuff, but not this.
Third thought: ah, Groff. That explains it.
@B’mancer: Heh. I bet the covers of his books helped Ted formulate the law.
“Professor Ploon’s reconstruction of the terrestrial mini-biped female was roundly mocked for it’s bluemanoid lack of body fur and grotesquely large mammary glands. ‘Do they contain pouches for the smuggling of large spherical fruits?’ questioned Professor Flurr.”

‘…this is the second blue person I’ve seen on GSS in one week. Bloody forerunners coming to our planet, well if you want “a way home” mate that’s fine with me! don’t get me wrong some of my best friends are blue-ish but…’

Blue man practices the art of 3D painting and doesn’t look happy. Does he have an artist’s model, I wonder?

@anon: Both explains and possibly makes more sense than the cover.

As far I can tell, the cover depicts a blue weirdo building a lifelike human doll from a kind of model kit…
In 1956, that was weird. In 2019, this is what the average Silicon Valley millionaire does instead of playing golf or collecting stamps.
