There’s only one thing in this world that can make a muscle infused man in a loincloth and his scantily clad female faint almost instantly. A naked red headed minotaur who is sneezing at them. Just remember, the sure fire way to success, keep the clothes to a minimum!

The minotaur seems to be using the same technique used by the lizard on http://www.goodshowsir.co.uk/2009/08/lucys-blade/
It is employing the use of his tail to tickle the dudes crotch. There must be some sort of monster school where they learn these tricks.

Pheuuuuuuw! . . . Breath of the Minotaur . . .

The Minotaur is wearing the same ginger wig which Tom (of Tom and Jerry) often dons after he’s been blown up, scalped, shaved, or generally depilated as a result of some aggressive manoeuvre by Jerry. What next? Will our elfin hero batter him over the head with a frying pan? Drop an anvil on him? Set fire to his tail?

I like that minotaur! In fact, I think I went out with its sister in the early 90s.

Must have been pretty hard for the minotaur to pierce his ear with hooves for hands!
The womens line of sight seems to be heading for…. in fact.. I’m not even sure if the women has eyelids. Are her eyes solid white? Or is her eyes closed?
Bah… I’m in a very unfunny mood today. More coffee!

Bless you!
Does the toupeed minotaur have Monster-sized Kleenex?

The best part is that they made the Minotaur a ginger—truly terrifying.

Alas, the minotaur is one of the good guys in this novel, one of my favorites, so this gets a fail for accuracy as well

Although it’s very odd that the minotaur is sneezing, I am more concerned about the pair he’s surprised. One gets the impression that human anatomy was something the artist had read bout in a book one time. We have a woman with toothpick calves attempting to support her bony (but large) abdomen. We have a man who appears to be 70% buttock and whose microscopic hands can only manage to grasp a dagger by its blade, not its hilt. Honestly, the ginger minotaur comes off looking pretty reasonable by comparison.

Hey, that ginger minotaur looks awfully familiar… hmm. it appears as the cover of White Dwarf magazine 59 with a slightly better (?) single female figure:

wonder which came first?

The man appears to be sticking his arm into the woman’s rib cage. And what happened to his left leg?

This cover might be by Peter Andrew Jones – the PA(squiggle) mark at the bottom of the cover is similar to his PAJ mark.
May 30th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Yes, indeed. The contents page of WD59 attributes that cover to Peter Andrew Jones – mystery solved!?!
Think the alternative version girl is about to launch into a rendition of Kate Bush’s Babooshka. Aiy-yay-ya!

Oh man, I’d forgotten about this one!

The artist seems to have had a tremendous problem with the lower leg. Tom pointed out that her legs are outright skeletal, in fact, I’m not convinced she has a fibula bone. But look at him! His gastrocnemius is shoved so far up his calf it’s almost into his knee. His ankle is making an almost impossible angle (I tried just now) and eating his Achilles tendon in the process. And the artist gave up on his left leg entirely.

Ginger minotaurs are the WORST.

You call that puny little butane clik-stik a firestarter? You’ll never get the charcoal lit with that. Now stand aside and I’ll how you how a real pro gets a BBQ started!

Alms for an ex-leper?

The Minotaur was the worst spokesman the Hair Club For Men ever hired.

What was this little guy’s plan if they ran into trouble, anyway? Shake his tiny stick at it with his teensy forearms??

It’s been a long day at the office. My boss is an asshole, I’m out of beer and now there’s you.
Get off my property while you’re still able to walk!“
