I predict that after Furries (people dressing up as animals and having fantasies about being animals), we’ll see the emergence of a “Planties” or “Veggies” subculture (i.e. people dressing up as plants and having fantasies about being plants).
Artist: What, the Nebula awards aren’t for best Surreal Sex Stories? Well, I must have really mixed up my notes. I guess I’ll have to redo it.
Publisher: Nah, don’t bother. Our readers are accustomed to hiding the covers of their SF books.
What I like about this cover is its subtlety and respect for women.
Did Kate Wilhelm whap her hubby upside the head for this cover? Or — more likely since he probably had no control over this — did she hop a transatlantic jet and whap the New English Library upside its’ collective head?
GSS to all! Even if this is low-hanging lips fruit.
@BC: Strictly speaking, we can’t be sure those parts exist.

Includes the story Under the Bum Bum Tree, you know, from the Jack Lemmon film?

I think it’s the rare blowajob tree from the planet Fetisha. Either way definitely not safe for public transport.

You heard it here first.

Damn tree huggers. Why don’t you act like a tree and blow.

Actually, I think it’s a tulip tree.

(It’s so hard to resist a comment about climbing into the crotch of this tree.)

After years of people making ‘got wood’ jokes at me, I now have something to show them.

@Tag Wiz—might this not be the second entry in the “come along with me to the old cunt-tree” category?

Too many nymphs perv up the tree.

@GSS ex-noob: as I recall, Kate’s hubby started writing ‘The Man in the Tree’ shortly after this, so it may have inspired him.
I said ‘may have’.

@GSSxn—Yes, it seemed a reasonable inference, but with these covers you never know!!

Frankly, I’d pay money to see Kate whapping the NEL upside the head. She would have done it with style and class.

Can the tree-thing kiss its own ass or does the species need bees to do it?
