‘I can’t do feet or hands, but tails — man, can I do tails or what?’

You got rats on the left side, big bugs up there.
What a mess, this Earth’s in tatters.

Rats? I thought Sheen had tiger blood.

Looks like the rat peoples in the distance is turning into a Chia Pet.

(Sheen voice:) “Rat town. Shucks. I’m still only in Rat town. And every minute Chia Pet squats in the bush, he gets stronger.”

Most people now expect someone called ‘Sheen’ to have a Welsh accent but he could have cleaned up in the 80s:while sounding like Willie Rushton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30GKyMuk5bk (Now imagine the rat-man talking like that)
Apologies in advance if that jingle stays with you for a while…

That’s not a Mr Sheen – this a Mr Sheen.

I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but today, March 13, is L Ron Hubbard’s birthday. If there’s an Elron cover in waiting, we should arrange a fitting tribute, GSS style.

It’s a rat? Dang it, I thought it was a dog. I’ll submit it anyway:
A Billion Days of Arf!

I think the little guy is Zippy the Pinhead.

Minnesota, three million years from now – much has changed, rats have replaced people, and the mosquitoes are slightly worse.

Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, or Michael Sheen?

What are we using as the zero point of this scale? The formation of Earth (before or after the moon), the development of mammals, the rise of genus Homo, the appearance of h. sapiens, the year in CE, (or Jewish or Muslim calendars or Hindu), the 20th century, or any time since the Disco Era? ~2.74 million years in any case.
Basically, when do the rat people, giant bugs, and li’l dabber show up?
Comparing both covers, I think the rat people in boots have taken over. This one is somehow more disturbing, since it’s basically a naked man’s body with booties, and a rat tail and head bolted on.
@Tor: Nonsense. They said the supreme one. Well, he was pretty great in “The West Wing”.
And I do wish we’d known your factoid before! Could have had another L. Ron Humpday.
@Emster: The head looks very doggie as well. Doberman or something. But on balance of the previous cover, we must presume it’s a rat.
@Bruce: LOL. Not that much worse, though. I was wondering if he was holding a crossbow; your comment makes me think “Quick, Ratty, the Flit!”

(Looks at the alternate cover)
Sooo…in rat culture, are human feet the equivalent of Hulk hands? [1]
“Human STOMP!”

This has nothing to do with the cover. But I just realized that the Spoonerism for Martin Sheen is Shartin’ Mean.
And if you accidentally say “Shartin’ Mean” the next time you refer to him, you can blame me.
March 14th, 2024 at 12:48 pm
@Tor,
You know what the verb “to shart” involves, right?
“That was a really mean shart, that was. I need to shower and get changed…”

@Max,whose name is appropriate to this discussion.
Indeed I knew. And I am oddly proud of still being able to engage in juvenile humor at my age.

There’s no motorbike on this cover which is (a) a missed opportunity and (b) our only clue that they don’t mean Barry Sheen.

@Tor: Considering how long he was stuck in the jungle making “Apocalypse Now”, it is entirely possible that was literal.
The horror.

@GSS ex-noob: films about jungle exploration occasionally discuss the malaria, but for some reason rarely bring up all the diarrhea.

You know the saying – every dog has its billion days of Earth.
Captain Obvious strikes again!!
