That’s what my brain does when I try reading Asimov

So that’s what happens to your insides after a vindaloo.

It was the 60s – everyone was high as a kite anyway, so putting representational art on the cover was a waste of time.

David Attenborough would be able to tell us what that is. But Patrick Moore wouldn’t, I suspect.

Panther Asimov, one of my favourites.

Yuck! That’s disgusting!

Panther 3/6 I wonder what the other 5 volumes look like…. HAHA Old people… I am just kidding.

I had no idea that panthers were INTO science fiction!

Putting a Panther sticker on is an attempt to sneak a catperson past us.
AND they thought we wouldn’t notice the font problem (no upper case; letters of asimov all joined together).
Nice try, Art Director, but you don’t get anything past us!

Of course it’s related to something on earth — it’s the wax in a lava lamp when it cools off.

If that cover is a guideline, I am never doing ANYTHING the “Martian way.”

This isn’t the cover to “Trouble with Lichen?”

I think that’s a chicken escaping a flower patch in the middle of a laser light show.

Seriously, what is even that supposed to be? And do I see bubbles of saliva or other kind of goo on the shaded part of… that?

Hi, welcome to the show. I’m Dead Stuff With Big Teeth, in the GSS kitchen. Today, we’re going to make Asimov, the martian way. OK, first, you’re going to need an Asimov. They’re in short supply today, and they get right gamey, so talk to the butcher. Next, we’ll need about 150 million cubic kilometres of iron oxide, give or take, a panther, a tomato worm, and a pinch of black pepper. Those of you at home with your lungs hanging out in the open will want to cover them up a bit, this can get messy.

I’m guessing it’s a sea anemone version of ‘Spice gull’.

Ever wondered what Donald Trump’s hairpiece is covering up?

Look what GSS Admin just coughed up.

@fred: you didn’t leave mush room at the end of your post, did you?

Ladies and gentlemen, these are obviously crystals, likely a variety of quartz. Get your heads out of the gutter.

@AnnaT: nonsense! You can’t have botryoidal and prismatic habits and the exact same mineral composition, especially not in a vug like that. Whatever it is, it’s biological. And harrumph.

It’s a deep-fried Mars Bar.
