Ninety-nine bait of a dreams on the floor.
Ninety-nine bait of a dreams.
Take one kind and then go blind.

“Knock it off, will you? There’s nothing in the rules that says I can’t use a marble that big.”

Look at all this ecstasy! Let’s start a festival!

Those alien jewels, sure. But these alien jewels, they’re fine. Dive right in.

But … as the Supreme Court would say … No Roe.

I see this has spawned a bunch of fishy jokes. I suspect everyone’s trawling for compliments, although I cod be mistaken.

Caviar cave I are.

So who’s having the ecstasy and who’s got damnation?
How big was the fish that spawned caviar as big as your kneecap and that high up? Perhaps the damnation comes when you realize you’re never going to get that smell out of your boots and tights.
And what’s the deal with her hands/claws?
@JP: GSS!
@Tor: much too soon. But good pun.
@Tag: need “booties”.

Bob was able to protect himself from the eggy sight with his lack of object permanence, but Alice had no such escape, and found herself unable to even use jazz hands.

The whole GSS gang just made my day.

It’s a wrap around cover. Even more caviar goodness.

One of a small number of Jo Clayton covers on this site that doesn’t prominently feature a female backside…

Okay, I can’t figure this out.
She’s surprised, and he’s grossed out – because a giant fish egg hatched a bunch of small fish eggs? Or did the alien jewels bounce off the floor and into his eyes? That’s the only way I can see they’d be any danger.

Worst. Spelling bee. Ever.

UAI Instructor: And so, class, when the low misty fog thing doesn’t work with the rest of the cover, and there’s no tall grass or wading pond around, you’ll just have to place your characters shin-deep in slimy fish eggs to avoid having to draw feet.

“You rub this stuff in your face, see…? It really does clean your pores and gets rid of the acne.”

Fun fact I just learned (but several of you savvy SF experts probably already know): Bill Mumy wrote the verses to the cult classic song “Fish Heads”, so:
Chorus: Fish eggs, fish eggs
The jewels look like fish eggs
Fish eggs, fish eggs
A Bait of Dreams, hmmm?
Where are the aliens? All we see are fish eggs
Quit stompin’ on them, they’re gonna be goop
Chorus (in your best falsetto!)
Lots of puns with fish eggs, they are the REAL jewels
Unsuspecting cover we just mocked
Chorus (really loud this time!)

@Emster: Bravo! He’s also one of the singers. I don’t know who’s responsible for the falsetto.
