This needs a space sheep skeleton.

This Jason and the Argonauts reboot is terrible!

There’s such a thing as skeleton boots. There that’s my daily quota of learning thanks to GSS.

Just wait until they start pole dancing.

They both died from extreme jaunty-hipitis.

I miss the old days before PhotoShop, when what a kid made on the first day at school was stuck on the fridge door instead of being used by dad’s reprint-salvage company.
(Here’s the first cover http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?21836 )
Still, more thought went into the cover than the blurb.

Wow! I never thought I’d win both the forensic anthropology and the mortuary science awards in the same year!
I’ll put them on this shelf with my partial collection of art deco chess pieces!

A truly excellent cover design. So many things about it are just right:
– A book title should be printed with black letters on a dark-gray background. Ensuring maximum legibility!
– Centering the title and author name is overrated. The left-hand margin is where it’s at!
– People love seeing random objects being repeated – and you save so much money!
– Title fonts should come as close as possible to Times New Roman. Because that just screams Serious Literature, baby.
– Images on the cover should only make sense to a select few. If people who haven’t read the book are looking at it and scratching their heads, that’s their problem.
– D&D miniatures are a great way to display figures without having to create them with photography or graphic design.
– The purpose of a review quote is to do the job of a blurb. So you won’t have to write one.

I’ve read the book and it still doesn’t make sense.

I’m afraid of remembering this cover, so… GSS?
@Tag or @Admin: EXCELLENT mouseover. Perfection.
@Everyone: GSS! You are en fuego today.
Especial kudos to: @BC (with Jaunty Hip cluster) and @Daard23 for making me snerk.
@Yamamana: I’m not seeing much AI in this, unless it’s that kind that iterates ever-more horrific images. Could the failed student of UAI (Online Photoshop Course) have done this, knowing only the title?

@THX: Aging yourself by mentioning J and the A, aging myself by knowing exactly which scene you are talking about (and wanting to watch it again…)
Sometimes Mr. E and I get psyched out by buying same book with different cover art, but in this case it would have been a “Mrmph! Half-hearted cover art = mediocre story, back on shelf it goes!”
Regardless, great quips by all today!

Looks like they did the Time Warp Agaaaiiinnnn…. once too often.

Remember, you too must die, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop being sexy.

@Bruce: But someone took thinspo way too far.
