This child will grow up to have a bright future as a Baen cover model.

I warned them that the SEXY BEASTS dating show would have disastrous consequences – but the fools wouldn’t listen!

I have to say, it’s pretty impressive to have invented the crudely photoshopped internet meme way back in 1989.

This reminds me of Mountain Dew’s “puppy monkey baby” from a Super Bowl ad a few years back:

Why is he wearing diapers?
Shouldn’t he have a litter box?

Dr. Moreau was just phoning it in that day.

Is that the pleasure face or the evil face ?
@Bruce. Good show, sir.

Ladies, tired of trying to housebreak your Demon Cat Baby? You want him in diapers—in a desperate attempt to preserve a shred of normalcy in your shattered life—but you know he needs a litter box. Well, fret no more! The new DiaperBox™ meets the needs of both human and beast with ease. From the outside it looks like an ordinary baby diaper, but inside it’s lined with a two-inch layer of tiger-quality synthetic crystallized silica dust. Guaranteed not to run, clump or smell! Easy to attach, easy to throw in the nuclear incinerator! And as an extra feature there’s an adjustable hole in the back for your little critter’s tail. Buy a crate today, and get a free multi-pronged scooper! Remember, DiaperBox™, at all fine pet and certain baby stores!

This is really horrific, but not in the way the author intended, I suspect.
@Francis: it does look like the artist was only told “evil child”, turned it into the publisher who panicked, realizing there wasn’t anything feline about it, and someone else hurriedly slapped the head and tail on, not bothering with niceties like lighting.
@JuanPaul: I wonder if the people behind that ever saw this cover.
@Tor: I wonder how many nipples that shirt is covering, i.e. how far does the cat-ness go?
@BC: But wait there’s more!
I wonder if they allude to the fact that with a human torso, the kid can’t lick its own butt. Probably not, got to keep the Demon Cat Baby ad wholesome.

Ace quips and jokes all around. Good Show, sirs!

Sudden thought — doesn’t this art imply the book should be titled “Cat’s Head”?

@GSS ex-noob: like Jean Dutourd’s book ( https://www.amazon.com/Dogs-Head-Phoenix-Fiction/dp/0226174921 ) , only for cat aficionados?

Another from the artist’s web site. The kitty in a cradle. FYI, the main page link at the bottom of the page, current work/sculptor, is for a construction company in Hunan, China.

@Bruce: I’m betting this isn’t “a wonderful piece of magical realism”.
(As a button I saw at a con said “Magical realism is just Spanish for SF/F”.)
@fred: I guess he was the man for the job then, but I don’t see how he’s got the chops for Chinese construction. Pay your domain fees, Richard!
