Good Show Sir comments: Between the two of them they have both halves of a tv picture tube on their backs.

Thanks to Ryan for sending this in!

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning!

    Novelty Pez dispensers were fun to start with but now it’s getting silly,

    I see she belongs to the Raven – Swordsmistress of Chaos school of footwear.

    How do you line time? Do you have to use concrete, or is a rubber sheet good enough?

    The first two novels didn’t garner movie rights. This one won’t, either. So despite the pretentious cover art, there will be no Oscar for Book Three.

    Oh No!
    The lizard people are cloning David Icke!
    And why is that guy’s backpack autographed by Trump?
    BRB…I need to update my latest QAnon post.

    Captain Squarejaw McManly can use his chin to scrape the ice off his windshield in the winter.

    Also, note the publishing date for a bonus laff.

    She’s got a mullet. ‘nuf said.

    The object the Oscars are standing on looks like a giant tire. Are they about to ascend to the Heaviside Layer?

    If that thing sneezes everybody’s dead.

  11. GSS ex-noob Says:

    So if those are Oscars, the people must be action figures.

    Another case of the artist raiding the toy box?

    The grip on her tiny weapon doesn’t look at all useful for taking on anything, much less a ton of statues and a giant reptile thingy.

    @GSS: No wonder they’re both hunched over. Those old TV tubes weighed a LOT.

    @Max: Concrete, I think, or something else durable. Time’s pretty rough stuff.

    @Tracy: I think that’s technically called a “mullette”.

    @GSS ex-noob: in those old-school science fiction worlds where everything is done with vacuum tubes, a smartphone weighs over three hundred pounds.

    The Snake Pit Paintball Tourney was a complete blast, but Abby and Zeke were disappointed to find all the stand up beds in the Tiger Snake Tanning salon completely booked for the day.

    “Swashbuckling adventure”? I see nothing on this cover that indicates either swash or buckle…. Yo ho!

    @GSS ex-noob

    Not just any action figures but Major Mat Mason himself. I had one when I was a wee un complete with backpack that ran up a wire (which almost sort of worked). First thing I thought of when I saw this post. O.K. it had a swirly thing rather than a glowy thing on the back but I reckon that’s the inspiration.

  15. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @Francis: Oh, I remember him, the rowdy house of boys* a couple of doors down had some of his stuff. He was never as big a deal as GI Joe. But that explains why it looked familiar and toy-like to me.

    That would make her Mrs. Matt Mason? Or “token girl on the team”?

    *Irish triplets, whose dad was on a week, off a week, being a fireman. Also was the oldest kid. I feel sorry in retrospect for the wife/mother. Still, very handy to have a fireman around on 4th of July.

    Well, David Icke did warn us that one day the lizard people would eat all the Academy Awards.
