Charles Comments OK, he’s hypnotized. Now let’s get him to rob the Petsmart!

You might remember this from here.

Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 5.78 out of 10)

    H H Holmes was A P White, aka Anthony Boucher.

    An out-take from the ‘Hunting High and Low’ video: Morten turns into a racoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6VaeFCxta8

    Little known fact: Morten may or may not have turned into a racoon but Catseye was the little known New Wave/furry band from 1981 he fronted before he was in before A-Ha. I think this was the cover for one of their EPs. How the hell it turned up in 1962 is anyone’s guess.

    I guess the crazy cat lady down the street finally found a boyfriend.

    Repeat after me, human. “It’s dog-hunting season!”

  8. JuanPaul Says:

    There was an apostrophe in the title, but the cats started playing with it and it ended up under the fridge.

  9. B. Chiclitz Says:

    Another cleverly edited blurb. The original: “Admirably conceived and written, should, like any decent published book, fascinate young or old readers, but it probably won’t.”

    Um. Well, it’s illustrative of the story, which the previous cover here wasn’t?
    And don’t miss the original cover, it’s worse than both!

    I think the biggest problem is the eyes on the hoomin. It takes him from “determined hero with animal helpers” to “crazy hermit who hoards animals” (as @daard23 alluded to).

    Maybe that wacky monkey put blacking on the eyepieces of his binoculars?
    (Wiki sez it’s a kinkajou)

    @Paradoxos is correct: White/Boucher used the name fully aware of who he was

    GSS: my main source of info on Europop and old British TV.

    …and foxeye, and, I dunno, meerkateye?

    @THX 1139: https://relatedhowagain.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/young-old.png

    @GSS ex-noob: nah, the weird eyes are probably supposed to indicate “mutant/half alien/whatever with strange powers, persecuted by AUTHORITY”; the young folks are supposed to eat that sort of crap up, right?

  14. GSS ex-noob Says:

    Maybe he just doesn’t get enough sleep, what with all those animals on him.

    Regarding the comment, I went to Petsmart today and was not beset by any monkey/meerkat hypnotists. Although there were some cute kittens being adopted.

    @ARY: “And the monkey/meerkat videos, and anyone who thinks they’re smart by asking ‘what does the fox say?’ gets the blaster RIGHT AWAY!”
