    A yellow spacesuit covers a multitude of sins on those long space journeys.

    Sit down, you two! You’re blocking the drive-in screen!

    She appears to have changed from a space floozy on this cover to a space goddess on the other cover of this double. Or vice versa.

    Looks like “Dancing with the Rebellious Stars” is on for another season, with a new emcee.

    @fred: when hats get that silly, it’s time to run to the nearest rocket and GTFO.

    Future couple disappointed in that year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade float.

    A cut scene from ‘Dubarry was a Lady’ where Red Skelton and Virginia O’Brien meet the Cloakroom Attendant of Tomorrow. He pulls faces; she doesn’t.

    “REBELLIOUS” is a silly looking word for a book cover.

    “What the name of the book?”

    “‘The Rebellious Stars.'”

    “So it’s about a pirate mutiny?”

    Ah, rebellious stars. I always figured that as they got a little older, they’d go through this phase…..

    Why, indeed, is he floating in a space suit, while the couple is standing there in plain clothes (though not much on her)?

    @B’man: GSS!

    @Bruce A Munro: so that’s General Blight at bottom left? He looks different without the tache.

    And what, pray tell, is the probably-mechanical dark thing?

    @GSS ex-noob: movie projector? Futuristic golf bag? Vacuum tube technology Alexa? Random doomsday machine? A Plot Device?

    @Bruce: I keep seeing it as a golf bag, myself. None of them are dressed for that, though. She’s probably wearing spike heels that would be hard on the greens and dangerous on the rough.

    @ARY: It really does look like he’s using her as a shield. Hopefully he’s the himbo and she’s got magic zappy powers or something.
