@Ryan: could be deliberately “retro.” After all, a lot of SF fans still seem to think things started going wrong circa 1960, when the New Wave sauntered into town.
I shouldn’t have looked into this title on Amazon, ‘cos what did I get in return?

“If you enjoyed JOHN GRIMES: TRAMP CAPTAIN, perhaps you’ll also like these books:

– McBANNIGAN: THE HUSSY ADMIRAL
– JACK WOGAN: HO’ COMMANDER”
🎵She’s on a planet that’s made out of sand
She may be wearing some other girl’s hand
She’s got her some big chestal glands
That’s why the lady is a tramp. 🎵

That suit is a marvel of futuristic engineering. His isn’t bad either.

Published in 2003, maybe, but that illustration has to be older than that.
Also, I have found my new imprecation of choice: “Tramp captain!”

I known it’s meant to be futuristic, but there’s just something silly about about that gun. My initial explanation is “super soaker.”
Is it just me, or does it look like the woman has another, larger woman’s arms and hands?

In the future it seems that spacesuits will have certain gravity-defying properties built in.

Careful, you’ll piss off the Tramp Steamer captains, and you know what old sailors can be like when they’ve taken all they can stands.

He started as a whore corporal and ended as a dowager major.

He’s a tramp who claims to be a captain, or a captain of tramps? Either way, I tend to think this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jKr3Dq0uVw is more appropriate.

@Tracy: not on New Year’s Eve he doesn’t.

@Tracy: He’s going back to Mideast reporting, and he WILL get the interviews or ELSE!
If that’s AC, it explains the angry look on the bimbo’s face — she’s got her cleavage out there for nothing.

@GSS ex-noob: that’s _space_ Mideast, which is towards the east of the Galaxy (but not too far).

I guess we now know what Captain Janeway did before Voyager.

I’m SIXTY PERCENT CERTAIN that I’m pointing this weapon the right way…

@swampyankee: I get it now! The title was supposed to have an ampersand, not a colon!
