So we want a blond guy who’s wearing no pants to jump through the air with a sword trying to stick it in a space gorilla. Yeah – a blue space gorilla that has a giant space gorilla head growing out of its back. And we want a gal in a stripper outfit in the background and she’s turned like she’s pretending to look way because she’s embarrassed, but if you look at her eyes peeking back because she’s really into it. Like I said: simple and classic.

Grendel commented about Beowulf’s new attire. By commented I mean laughed like Alastair Sim playing Scrooge.

Hipster Flash Gordon jumps ironically as the feline gorilla demonstrates the the dominant trait of both cats and apes (contempt). The anti-Scarlet Witch is totally grossed out.
‘Number 3 in the Lord Tedric Lord Tedric Series’?

It all makes sense now. Some of the skipping rope is off the page. They’ve both got one end are singing a jump-rope rhyme together.

Thicc McStarchunk either has some serious calf issues, or his boots are way tighter than Space OSHA or the Interplanetary Amateur Melee Sports Regulatory Commission should be allowing.

Everyone knows the Great Space Circus’ performances have become utterly ridiculous. Even the animal rights activists have long since been unable to come up with protests against them that exceed their absurdity.
But gorilla swordfights? This is new.

Zapp Brannigan’s let himself go a bit, hasn’t he?

@MakkaPakka—I think this is the jump-rope rhyme they’re working on:
I like coffee
I like tea
I want the space babe to come with me
You take the cat head
You take the ape
I’ll take the stripper in the fluffy green cape

Sirian Rules sword-fighting is somewhat complicated by only allowing strikes below the knee.

Not to be confused with the blue knight of the aluminum sphere, or the beige knight of the rubber sphere.

Lord Tedric, Double-Dutch Red and Yellow Knight of the Teal Room.
Guess that wouldn’t fit on the cover.
Is the damsel looking with interest, or is she trying to open the compartment door and is looking back with the side-eye to make sure she doesn’t get caught in Lord Wrestling Singlet’s backswing? It’s rare on one of these that the lady has on more fabric than the gent.
@Tag Wiz: this needs the “no-pants dance” tag.
@fred: Maybe that’s why he’s so thicc. There’s 2 of him. Or, hang on — maybe the ape is Lord T. and there’s definitely 2 of him.
@BC, @Daard: GSS!

What’s with the snarling face? Is the artist trying to tell us something?
“Snarrrll! Buy this book and I’ll bite your head off!”
