Low gravity dope is the best dope…

Is that thing under the dome burner? If so, I think we’ve discovered the happiest, if not the most productive, city in the universe.

Shouldn’t this have been saved for April 20?

Not really the cover illustration I was expecting from a publisher named “Tit-Bits”.

“Cool.”

I think the rocket in the foreground is a piece of modern sculpture to go with the space-age open plan house. Or garden sculpture to mark where they’re growing the good stuff. Duuude.
I am sure that even in 1954, “Tit” meant what we’re all thinking (or possibly a small bird) (or something on a “bird”), and that’s why I’ve always heard the word as “tidbits”. It’s easier to say, and much easier to say without them in the back snickering.
@Francis, Tor, BC: GSS!

Can humanity survive the menace of … SPACE POT??? [1]
@GSS ex-noob. I think that’s a space-city under a dome? (What Francis said) Admittedly, the perspective is a bit funky in that case.
(And I have no idea why space appears to be full of ground beef. Perhaps that’s the weed kicking in.)
@fred: nice find.
[1] Entirely coincidentally, one of Philip K Dick’s novels is entitled “Galactic Pot Healer.” Alas, it’s the other kind of pot.

‘Titbits’ was a magazine of, well, tiny items (the American spelling has always seemed a bit weird to us, needlessly prissy and prim) but by the late 60s had bowed to the inevitable and gone a bit Benny Hill. It was sort of like a blokey version of a supermarket mag. often found in barber’s shops.
I had no idea they’d tried book publishing. Obviously it didn’t go well.

“Tit-Bits” and “Master Weed”… jeez.
Maybe they tried too hard with the sales pitch on this one.

@ARY: All it was missing from the classic trio was “rock and roll”.
@Bruce: Yes, the perspective is so bad it could be either a small city or a very large house. In either case, the structure in the middle is a giant bong.
Also, I’m pretty sure you should have said echo SPAAAAACE POT.
