I think the poor guy’s had a shoulder prolapse.

The woman seems to have accidentally gone out wearing someone else’s legs.

This is so bizarre. The artist must have tuned out while the teacher was covering foreshortening. It’s like he is aware of foreshortening. Likes the idea of foreshortening. Just doesn’t quite know how it works.

I just want to know what the free CD inside had on it. Wind-Rider farting along with a renfaire lute band?

I have an ominous feeling regarding that untied bootlace and its future effect on
an intricately plotted master plan for world domination and running away.

@max I think that is an actual act I’ve seen at a ren faire. They called themselves Tootin’ Lutes. Or Lootin’ & Tootin’. I can’t remember. I was drunk on $12 Killian’s.

The CD. Well this is disappointing.
The Baen CDs were an experiment to raise sales by giving away a lot of author’s backlist novels, free and without copy protection. Each of these CDs, helpfully copied so that you can just browse them, contains as many as 20 or 30 full novels, in a large variety of formats so you can view them on whatever e-book reader you use, or on your computer. Most also contain wallpapers and music, as well.
Wind Rider’s Oath
Another Fantasy focused CD, this is a collection where David Weber shines once again, containing the Bazhell trilogy, as well as more Honor Harrington novels, and more novels by more authors – including Keith Laumer’s hilarious send-up of diplomatic processes, Retief!

Having beaten Kirk with the lirpa and the ahn-woo, Spock now battles T’Pring with the han d’bal.

Is this on the CD? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PeBs9QYmxU It ought to be. There’s no way these two are running as we humans understand the term.

@JuanPaul
Wow, and I thought I was joking.
Thanks for the heads up. I hope they played outdoors or in a well ventilated tent..

@Max It’s not true…at least I don’t think it is. But it doesn’t sound far fetched

They look like two of those little LEGO figurines came to life and attempted real-world running.

Does the CD come with a patch for the cover illustration?

@JuanPaul: I knew your story was bogus when you said you were drunk on purchased alcohol at a Ren Faire. Nobody’s got that kind of money to spend.
@Tracy: GSS!
@ARY: I’ve probably still got a floppy and a record around here somewhere from some magazine. There might have been free sheet music. And Thag definitely played on hollow log while painting or story time was on.
I can’t figure out what the barely-visible ball is for in this scenario.

It’s a bit cruel forcing this elf lady to play catch when her legs have clearly been horribly injured.
July 12th, 2023 at 1:23 am
Hah! I thought she looked familiar, and the same artist too:

If they’re Windriders, does that explain why they look like they are incapable of running like normal humanoids?
@fred: I came across one of those CDs the other day. Not sure how it got into the house in the first place, but by EOB tomorrow, it will be in my local dump.

@GSSxN: Before you toss the CD, try playing it backward to see if it says “Legolas is dead.”
