   Dune? Looking at the utter carnage depicted in this cover I have to go as far back as ‘Mahabharata’ for a comparison.

   We all suspected Tom Cruise dreams of the guy on the left, anyway.

   Sing along…
   
   Strike an empire
   Strike an empire

   Look around, everywhere you turn is power struggle
   It’s everywhere that you go (look around)
   You try everything you can to escape
   The pain of life that you know (life that you know)
   When all else fails and you long to be
   Something better than you are today
   I know a place where you can get away
   It’s called the Kerrion Empire, and here’s what it’s for, so
   Come on, Kerrion
   Let your body move to the hyperspace
   Hey, hey, hey
   Come on, Kerrion
   Let your body go with the space warp
   You know you can do it
   All you need is someone else’s imagination
   So use it that’s what it’s for
   Go inside, for your finest inspiration
   Your dreams will open the airlock door
   It…

   We’ve now had 2 of the volumes (the second and third) in this sago*, and might as well have the first. It’s here: http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/images/a/a8/DRMDNCRSDM1981.jpg.

   Interesting that the same lady seems to appear in all of them, but gets younger as we progress through the series. Also, they all have the suggestive spaceships with faces.

   * Old joke:
   Announcer: “And now we present a family sago …”
   Voice off: “Sago? You mean saga. Sago’s a sticky mess!”
   Announcer: “Well, have you read this script?”

   I must have missed this episode of the Mighty Boosh.

   So the power struggle is a dance-off? Inside a human-faced spaceship’s dream? Too psychedelic, man.

   Praise from Eric Lustbadger? Yeah, that’s going to increase my desire to read this. Suuure it will.

   Speaking of Dune, these two should be strapped into a couple of still-suits.

    Shoes aren’t too hard to draw. Establishing whether it’s on her left foot or her right foot may be a little trickier, however.

    The novelisation of the sequel Pacino declined to appear in?

    Dune?!!!

    Squints at blurb, sees who said it. Oh, that explains it, the hack.

    Has anyone read any of these?
    Doesn’t “Don Punchatz” sound like a cartoon character’s name?
    Is this the finest use of the “interpretive dance” tag yet?

    Tune in next week for more of this sago. (AKA “frog spawn”. Thanks @L_L.)

    I have to award a GSS! to everyone today.

    GSS! with cluster to:

    THX
    ARY
    Tat

    for making me go “snerk”.
