It’s Christmas – of course Dick is watching The Queen’s Speech topless.

Surprisingly for a Dick Blade cover this is almost competent. Sadly, with the advent of digital electronics, the day when a girl could fantasise about being rescued from a fate worse than death by a half naked tv repairman are long gone.

I didn’t know Dick was also a male model. Calvin Klein jeans?

I’m just impressed that the cover has the grammatically correct “An Historical”. That’s attention to detail and nuance!

Jim Carrey in his most controversial role yet!

Leaving the telly aside, that’s an impressive meringue in the background.

Dick needs to take a few lessons from Magnus Robot Fighter.

I can’t, or won’t, quite put my finger on it, but there’s something weird about that Dick’s head.

MCCOY: It’s a machine, Jim. You can’t argue with a machine!
KIRK: Hold my beer …

You have to go all the way back to Richard Blade #19 to find a clothing challenged Dick.

Aw, yeah, more Dick.
But not nearly the “quality” we expect. The people seem to be in anatomically possible positions; Dick’s flexing in a way human joints will allow, and she’s passed out cold. He’s wearing full trousers (jeans and a belt), and she’s got enough wraps for modesty, plus what look like her original average-sized breasts.
The right side (our left) of Dick’s face is the only really odd bit — like he was in a fire.
I think the TV droid he’s wrestling is the Dimension X evil twin of this guy:

@Tat: It is the festive season, but this is the oddest John Lewis advert ever.
@NomadUK: GSS! (and so appropriate for your name)

A metaphorical representation of suburban man’s struggle against the corrupting effects of public television, set against a stirring background of finely chopped meat.

“But not nearly the “quality” we expect”
@GSS ex-noob: well, it’s book 36, of a total of 37. Series probably losing the old magic by that point.

BAM & GSSxn – well, greasing up a guy will only go so far….
December 29th, 2021 at 7:36 pm
@Hammy: you can only go back to the grease well so many times?
December 29th, 2021 at 11:50 pm
@Bruce: I guess by book 36 they were forced to hire more competent artists so as not to scare off any non-diehards.
Is it chopped meat, or is it one of those chocolate fountains that’s turned off/run out of chocolate? Is the damsel passed out in a diabetic coma from consuming it, and Dick’s taking out the TV that had the ads for it?

The unruly robot? Oh, Dick tried to Return to Kaldak as it was under warranty, but when he got there, he found he was, historically, in another dimension where the “ring bell for service” bell was way too tall for him to reach up and “ding” to wake the sleeping sales clerk. Since he was already there, Dick would buy himself a new shirt, a nice conservative flannel from the Kaldak men’s department…
