It’s like gazing into the sky on a summer’s day! You see shapes in the cloud, like I can see a finger going to scratch the arse, and there’s a dog’s head in the top left.

When brains fart in space.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees a butt on that thing.
Was this a prequel to The Wet Dry Years?

Finally, an editor who dares to think that legibility is overrated!

“This is your brain on ass. Any questions?”

Now I remember what I hated most about the 70s… those awful print T-shirts.
March 31st, 2011 at 3:20 pm
This is one of the worst covers I’ve seen. Not in a “good show, sir” sense, but in a “don’t waste my time” sense. It cries out for a £1.09 price sticker, just to make it interesting.
Did the artist misread? Is that Brain his/her attempt to represent Brian? I think we should be told.

PS: Surely another one that deserves the FONT PROBLEMS tag.
March 31st, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Sorry Phil! The font was over-shadowed by the huge space ass and brain 😛
March 31st, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Yes the font! Some designer somewhere sat down and thought: ‘hmm, the name “Aldiss”, when spelled out in regular letters, does not look sufficently like “AiPiss” for may taste. Let’s see what I can do …’

What the %&¤# is “HE DARK LGHT YFARS”???
:-S

I submitted this one in Edmonton Canada. It’s so seventies the pages are orange shag carpet.
Looking for more!

It took me awhile to see the butt, but now that I see it, I can’t unsee it.

In space, no one can hear your brain farts.
May 23rd, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Oh gosh, the aliens in the book do fart a lot… and frolic in mud (farting)… I’m not kidding. At all. It’s the entire premise — the farting bit being you know, not cool for humans, a point of contention…

They stole Dubyas brain. You can tell cos it looks to be on fire

Who needs hallucinigens when you have insomnia and GSS?
OOH AND YIPES!
Once around the sun… t minus whenever it feels right… hey, kid, are ya goin my way? Jesus on the dashboard.
Mayhaps I shall just lie quietly beneath the kitchen sink now. The dark light years will never think to look for me there.

Psst, hey, Tag-W: I think there’s a Facetree in that brain.
September 1st, 2013 at 8:23 pm
Good catch, Mr C. Noted. Have a complimentary “hunkbutt” for your troubles.
September 1st, 2013 at 8:53 pm
@BC, TW: Lucky stiff. I’m partial to hunkbutt myself…but I could never eat a whole one…it always gives me gas… 😀
September 6th, 2013 at 7:08 pm
@T-Wiz, Dead Stuff: how is hunkbutt best served? I’m thinking a nice marinade of methane vinegar and pureed space brain for one lunar cycle, then irradiate with cosmic ray stellar winds for 45 minutes and serve over hot lava-butter tentacle noodles? Might help with the gas factor, though that’s a bit nebulous.
Think this recipe might qualify for the big time? Certainly has no regard for the immediate consequences.

Another Brain Aldiss book. I’m beginning to see a pattern.

History’s only known portrait of Mrs. Biggus Dickus.
March 29th, 2015 at 5:45 pm
@B’mancer: I’m rather particular about my hunkbutt. I like it either hot or cool. Unfortunately, it’s usually served either ‘frigid’ or ‘flaming’, depending on the establishment. And Space Hunkbutt, what with the absolute vacuum and the cosmic microwave background, tends to be both!
March 29th, 2015 at 10:03 pm
@DSWBT-I was recently in Atlanta, and if I recall correctly, the local cuisine dictates barbecued hunkbutt served on cornbread with a side of space brains with hominy. Or was it chitlins? Personally I prefer the New Orleans style hunkbutt gumbo.
April 8th, 2015 at 2:20 am
@FoM: in Southeastern America, who would have the hunkbutt? What with all the reddened necks available? 😉
January 12th, 2017 at 1:47 am
@DSWBT: the hunkbutts are much larger than the necks, and therefore more economical. Also better marbling. Duh.
January 12th, 2017 at 1:52 am
@GSS interrogator: regional specialty vs. economy of scale? I think you can guess where my tastes would lie! 😉
January 12th, 2017 at 4:24 am
I suspect BOTH are regional specialties — you’d probably have to cook them differently, which could prove an interesting comparison.

Egads! How have I missed this one until now? The flying giant dim sum monsters from ST:TOS “Operation Annihilate” — only they missed the back and lodged on Spock’s fundament. The resulting scene painted by Marc Chagall. On heroin.

If nothing else, this can be praised for its “no spoilers” stance!
March 8th, 2024 at 11:35 pm
The pale blob that caused all the “hunkbutt” references also looks (ignoring that part) a bit like a plucked and spatchcocked chicken. With a small brain on top. Was the UAI alumnus really hungry?
