Click for full imageWell magic is purple. Fact! So we are sorted for that but we need a way of getting magic’s amazing power across to people. I know, electricity… and some guy in obvious pain as he weaves his supernatural element. We all know that when you meddle with the supernatural all you get is that burning sensation of being electrocuted.
Thanks to CSA!

Now I guess this guy just rubbed his hands on his wool jumper for about 10 minutes then touched a metal railing. Ouch!

I actually think he’s been given the once in a lifetime chance to to use NIcola Tesla’s Toilet. And the expression on his face is half constipation and half dismay because he knows that never again will taking a dump be as awesome as this one time in a Tesla cage

You know I’m not sure that anything can really be added to CSA’s comment.

Magic is NOT purple and sparky. Least its not anymore. Anyone who has seen the Brent Weeks covers or indeed our very own new covers for Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy KNOWS that magic is like (magical) blue pipe smoke, floating in the still air of a mighty mage’s study.
See! Fantasy can evolve.

I think Little Mi has said it right. CSA you sicken me, you sicken me.
Ohhhh blue pipe smoke.
Fantasy evolve? Something like…. Techno Dragons. Wow, I now know my life’s calling.

Techno-Cyber-Dragons if you please.
Steam powered Techno-Cyber-Dragons in point of fact.

Steam powered Techno-Cyber-Dragons?!
Wow, that really is the future!

‘Gwen’s Cat’s-Cradle wool was possessed by the devil …’

I wouldn’t have guessed it from the cover, but the artist Dave Eastbury is now very accomplished and has two comic strips in The Beano! Good times!

Steam powered Techno-Cyber-Dragons… excellent. Everything always has to be steam powered, or held in place with a series of magnets. I’ll get both in there.
Just need a basic storyline, fame awaits!

I think the fuel that boils the water for the steam should be some sort of magic crystal too.
January 11th, 2010 at 11:32 am
Ohh interesting twist. But what if we twist that and the magic crystal is actually made from, you guessed it, people.
January 11th, 2010 at 11:57 am
Very nice, but what if (and bare with me here)… in the very last chapter we reveal that the “people” are actually evil aliens in disguise… But not just any aliens, they’re Dragon aliens…. hence the People-powered-crystal-powered-Steam powered Techno-Cyber-Dragons are actually feeding off their alien ancestors…. what a twist! we’re gonna be millionaires!

What’s all this ‘we’ crap 😛
Mu hahahahahaha!

“Do we really have to refer to him as ‘The Supernatural John G. Jones’??”
“Shh! His grief counselor says to just go along with it!”

What is “John.” an abbreviation for?
November 13th, 2015 at 5:24 pm
The “realistic physics” mod for Skyrim was always unpopular with mage characters.
November 15th, 2015 at 10:39 pm
“John. ” is of course an abbreviation of “Johnson”. But alas, this is too feeble a pun to use on Good Show Sir… the shame, the shame!

Chap in the picture looks a bit like the lamentably late Supernatural David R. Jones (yes it’s been a year, we still miss him) having some sort of electrical mishap on stage due to dodgy/drugged roadies. Or perhaps a problem during the making of “The Prestige”?
I understand there’s a tag for him? she hinted heavily @Tag Wizard.

If this is the same book I’m thinking of, there was an alternate cover of just window blinds….
February 14th, 2018 at 2:03 pm
@Cygnia – Do you mean this one:

Welcome to Good Show Sir!
February 14th, 2018 at 2:29 pm
@Tag Wizard — The very same!
February 15th, 2018 at 3:31 am
@Cygnia: John. lost his full stop to the window blinds. Also anything really supernatural, as I’ve never had window blinds that were any more along the “evil” scale than “frustrating tangles”. You’ve added good info on your first comment — Good Show!
@TW: Still no Bowie tag? sigh

@GSSxN: I don’t really see the Thin White Duke resemblance, myself. Mr Jones had much better teeth IIRC. To me it looks more like Big Bad Orange Hair in hell. Which is a comforting Sunday thought.
However your observation of John.‘s losing his punctuation is, er, spot on.
July 17th, 2022 at 11:01 pm
@JJYoyo: Mr. Jones originally had teeth like that, till he made enough money to overcome being an Englishman born right after the war.
However, your image is very cheering.
(still no tag)
