I’m sorry, but this wayward path leads to pelmanism and from there to parlour games.

Voulez-vous space coucher avec moi?

I’m not going to waste time analysing this. Sometimes a bad cover is just a bad cover.

Hack artist inadvertently designs a classic piece of mid-century furniture.

A title pregnant with cover possibilities, but instead we get Dick Blades id.

@Francis – GSS!

That diamond. Worst. Ting! Ever.

Looking forward to Bending Space and Time: Chiropractic Science Fiction

Testing to destruction the theory that there is no word which in the context of science fiction is not improved by the prefix of “space”.

Readers should use a space couch. Drivers should use a space cushion.

Either the diamond is the one getting therapy, or the patient has spontaneously turned into a large gemstone (or they’ve been “poofed”, if you prefer).

@makka Let’s test that theory: I plan on sitting my space ass down on that space couch.
Yup. It works.

Such a cold-looking cover—would benefit from a space heater.

That is some lazy art. It, um… has all right proportions? At least the artist didn’t attempt to draw a human. However, the type is way too small. It’s actually hard to read, and there’s certainly space to use bigger letters.
The title, though… that’s not a space couch. It’s a regular couch of an “eh” color. Looks like it would be more at home next to a pool or on a patio, rather than in a shrink’s office. I guess it could be considered a space couch, in that it is surrounded by a lot of empty yellow space.
I’m not sure why there’s a stethoscope on the couch. Didn’t think they were used in talk therapy.
The giant diamond is either the patient, or what the doctor charges. Is that an Easter egg next to it?
And you can tell this is an older book as it only has male and female symbols, not non-binary.
@Francis: GSS!
@MakkaPakka: Couch. In. Spaaace! Yep.

Doctor: “Tell me about your mother.”
Patient: “She was a volcano. It took her thousands of years to give birth to me… trauma? Don’t talk to me about trauma! I was born in an eruption! And then I was buried in the ground for decades, before someone dug me up!”

“So a jeweler, a doctor, an easter bunny, and an optometrist walk into my office…”

Bumping this just to say GSS to everyone.
