Richard Hurndall was never the same after The Five Doctors…

“Bringing them wisdom, medicine… and war” – well, two out of three ain’t bad.
…bringing them cheeseburgers, fries and…..cement.
…bringing them Whiskey, monte cristos…. And whipped cream.
…etc.

If this were a random page from Boris’ sketchbook I’d expect more rippling muscles and flashing swords and the regulation helping of boobage instead of a bored unicorn and Luke Skywalker in a skirt. Must be from his hitherto unknown Prozac period.

Harry Hamlin could have been the Doug McClure of fantasy horse movies.

@THX: I was thinking post-moustache Jerome Willis (of ‘Green Death’ and ‘Lifeforce’ plus many better productions).
@Fred: if Tom Cruise hadn’t bounced back after ‘Legend’, fantasy horse movies would have had their own Doug anyway.

The blurb puzzles me: if this is a Calvino-esque attempt to recruit a deck of cards as co-author, fine, but ‘The Fool’ and ‘The Emperor’ are two totally different Major Arcana. To change one into another is, in any other form of card-play, technically known as ‘cheating’ and gets people shot in westerns.

@Tat Wood
Perhaps it’s supposed to be the cabbalistic approach where the various Trump cards represents a single individual’s spiritual evolution, or however it’s supposed to work?

With a horn of that length, can that unicorn actually crop grass, or will he or she be thwarted by plunging the horn’s tip into the turf at every attempt to start lunch?

I was going to make a Unicorn Tarot deck joke…but, then I did a google search…

Also, a Vlad Dracula Tarot deck. Sure. Why not?

So you buy a novel based on the tarot deck. And it tells you that a deceased uncle has buried a fortune in gold that you can have. But you need to contact the tarot reader and, for a small fee …

And Lo, the Fool Became an Emperor: The Life of Donald Trump
NYT Best Seller list?

@B’man: perfect art direction.
@fred: I thought that was Harry too. Obviously, it even looks like his face.
@Ryan: Good point! (pun not intended, but left in) Maybe it can only eat downhill.
@daard23: There’s a tarot deck of everything. Be careful and keep safe search on, as it converges with Rule 34.
@BC: Can’t be — he brought no wisdom and no medicine.
@TagW: I don’t suppose we have a tag “old man take a look at my life… crosseyed”? The chap far left obviously disapproves of the goings-on.

Just one book? Piers Anthony wrung a whole pervy trilogy out of tarot.
@daard23: which, of course, naturally leads to the My Little Pony tarot. https://www.deviantart.com/southparktaoist/art/My-Little-Pony-Major-Aracana-Tarot-Cards-417169696

“I come to bring wisdom, medicine and… SHIT!! That damn unicorn got stuck again. I swear, I’m gonna saw that stupid horn off!”

The old man on the left is pissed off because the hero didn’t bring him one of those fancy golden hats.

I was ALSO thinking he looked like Luke Skywalker in a skirt and was going to comment until I read #3… It’s a geek thing, I guess.

@A.R. Yngve: probably didn’t appreciate having marmalade smeared on his forehead, either.
