Not. That.
Geez, that was easy?

The doom that came to Turducken?

Early attempts at creating the Swiss Army Frog were less than successful.

Is this book a Jodie Whittaker reference?

Well, I know that Who can’t replace Moon.

Well, now I know where the cover artists go when they’re fired from Baen.

Isn’t that the card game we used play – we called it “MixMax” – where you have to match various body part pictures with each other?

A stepladder, a jar opener, and a vibrator.
None of which will stare at you like this thing does.
(Kidding. At least for the men of GSS.)
This must be the little-known and less-popular Mr. Potato Head Expansion Playset. “Now with animal parts! Sold separately.”
Is the strapline giving the original title pasted on crooked? Indeed, is it pasted on?
@TagW: how about “words words words”.
@THX: GSS!

For some reason a German publisher slapped this cover on a Samuel R Delaney book.

Early reconstructions of Homo Sapiens by future robo-paleontologists were a bit speculative.

At first I thought is was the same face as dino-rhino from yesterday’s cover!

@BC: Along with the oil/gas crises of the 70s, SF cover artists also suffered a face shortage.

Attempts at answering the question:
1) A Swiss Army Frog?
2) I don’t know, but it seems to be what you get when you cross a cockroach with a wing wine corkscrew

@JJYoyo: Note that whatever it is, it’s electric. It’s got a power cord and a couple of wires.
With chicken, frog, and fish parts, I’m thinking it’d go with white wine.

@GSSx-n (prev.) and JJYoyo (#15):
Hm. That *is* a two-prong plug on the power cord. I hope whatever it’s powering is double-insulated to prevent electric shocks.
When I looked at the large version, there are definintely banana plugs on the ends of the two wires. Maybe they’re to connect to the extended external antenna for better reception in fringe areas….

@GSSxN: You must have passed the alien sommelier test. GSS!
@ Hammy: In olden times there were ads on late night TV for bizarre gadgets from the Popeil company (parodied by the original SNL crew, like Dan Ackroyd’s Bass-o-matic). This might have fit in there.

I’m thinking with the stereo leads this might be the late Robert Moog’s true form…

Wait! Here’s the definitive GSS answer to the question “who can replace a man?”

@Hammy: All that ungrounded wiring looks dangerous. Maybe that’s how you cook the thing?
