Well, they do sunburn easily.

You now that anxiety dream, the one in which you’re about to fight a beardy prospector and his blonde doxy, and you suddenly realise you forgot to put your trousers on?
Yes. That.

Isn’t “Gawfs” what Goofy says?

Why isn’t she worried about the giant spider thing climbing up her leg?

I wonder if Paramount Pictures knows that the cover artist stole the space station from Star Trek’s “The Trouble with Tribbles” episode:

That is the space station from Star Trek – The Trouble With Tribbles ep.

Phil, Fred. You’re actually right. Excellent space station knowledge!

Well, the blonde is a genetic misfit, because his name is Carl.

Just couldn’t stop focusing on the “Deathgift” spine in the background. I mean… What a crappy gift, right?

It’s always tee time on the Planet of Gawf.

Is the lizard man saying “oof – right in the space nads!!”?
In fact is “gawfs” a euphemism?
May 11th, 2011 at 2:46 am
The blonde is neither a mutant nor a genetic mistake. She’s just doesn’t fit in with them and has to be escorted off the planet ash heap of the galaxy.

And isn’t that the Ymir from 20 Million Miles to Earth?

@Smith – I think “gawfs” is a euphemism for skinny teenagers wearing black and lots of eye makeup, if one lives in Chatham.
Is lizard-man side-bum acceptable?

In this corner we have Lion Man. And in the other corner we have Lizard Man…oh wait, Lion Man has pulled a fast one, he seems to have used his voluptuous manager as a distraction for Lizard Man and used his laser blaster to take Lizard Man unawares! Lizard Man sure is going to feel that one in the morning…

Brian: it DOES look like the Ymir, but on a bad hair day.

GAWF!! is clearly what the surprised lizard guy is saying. Or it could be short for Gerrorff! which might have started tha whole incident.

Del is right: that non-mutant female is indeed a part of the story in the book. Shooting a lizardman with a raygun, however, does not occur in the book.

I tried to say the title of the book three times in a row — now I’m in hospital.
The pain, the pain…

‘No! Waylon Jennings shot my husband in the gawfs!’
Needs a ‘hunkbutt’ tag.

I appreciate that they’ve taken care to make the aliens/mutants/misfits look like guys in bad costumes from early pulp films.
No seriously, I appreciate it. This cover is aces and I would gladly hang a poster on my wall!

This might be the winner for the worst weapon wielded ever. Whatever form of projectile it’s firing appears to already be in a descending arc within a few feet of leaving the barrel. Lizard man could have won the fight by standing off a bit and chucking rocks at them.
Lady-“Ow! Another rock! Shoot him already! ”
Man-” I can’t! The crafty bugger is staying out of range! ”
Lady-” Aagh! What do you mean out of range? He’s hitting us with rocks! ”
Man-” We’ve met our match! The Gawf have the technological edge! ”
Lady-” He’s throwing rocks you hirsute moron! How is that technology? Good God! How did you master interstellar travel? ”
Man-” No one throws rocks at you in space. Ouch! Run lady, run! “
