“…and that’s why I was sacked from Kid Creole and the Coconuts.”

It’s good to see Mrs Bigfoot working again in the creative arts.

What’s the difference between ‘non-predictable’ and ‘unpredictable’? I feel I may be missing a LeGuinian nuance.

“… Yetis, tramps and thieves…”

Because she’s worth it.

A tale of puberty.

Yeah, she likes to party hearty — she’s got those Christmas tree lights around her waist!

This ‘natural woman’ movement has gotten ridiculous. Someone teach this lady how to use a Schick!

On the back cover, it says:
“Pull quotes…cobbled together…from…unrelated…sentences!”

Out, out, damned hyphens.

Bigfoot left his bottled water and glo-sticks at home.
July 13th, 2011 at 12:27 am
Er, Bigfoot’s girlfriend, I mean.

She’s undergoing a change, all right.
The designer seems to be aiming for the world record for number of different fonts on a single cover.

I. AM. IRON…Uh…PERSON.

Shake, shake, shake…..Shake your booty….Shake your booty!

*That’s* Iron Man’s wife? No wonder she doesn’t show up in the movies. 😉

Some things might look interesting in a book… but that doesn’t mean they should also be on the cover. Especially so hideously executer. (Eleanor Arnason does include that kind of furry people in the book. But i bet they don’t look or act like that).

Problem 1. Being the first in the conga line is always awkward.
Problem 2. You lost a wrestling match with the Christmas tree and you weren’t earthed.
Problem 3. You’re melting.
The solution is NOT nonchalance.

Ursula Le Guin’s name is almost as prominent as Eleanor Arnason’s.
Do we have any covers here where the quote-source’s name is printed bigger than the name of the actual author?

A møøse once bit my sister…this is wät happened tø her next. No, realli!

Hey! Tag Wizard! What happened to the “font problems†tag? This one *needs* it.
December 2nd, 2014 at 10:02 am
Ironically, no iron is visible on this cover.

After seeing the concept cover for their next album, ABBA decided to change the title of the first track from “Dancing Yeti” to “Dancing Queen”.

With all those font issues I read it as:
A Woman of the Iron People
Part Two
Clanging Women

Ursula Le Guin: “I don’t have time to write a blurb. Just come up with something and slap my name under it. No one will know the difference.”

Nice to see the old trope of the person walking toward you in blinding light giving you the heads up of a reveal of
a) an I thought he was dead character (hero or villain)
b) a little used but popular character (hero or villain)
c) a character unseen until now but talked about in multiple episodes
d) comic relief
e) a name actor past their popularity
f) a name actor recovering from ‘troubles’ and getting a paycheck from the producers
g) a name singer who can’t act
h) a cross-over episode with another series
i) a testing the waters ep for a branch off series usually involving (e)
j) Shatner

She’s a maniac, maniac is the word.
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced be-furred.

If men want their Movember, then women get their No-Shave November.

Sad to see a writer of Le Guin’s stature reduced to waiting tables.

Chewbacca met his first wife at a Wookie-rave.

Captain American is walking on for his Iron People cameo. Stan Lee is probably the FedEx guy.

The day Bez was asked to leave the Happy Mondays.

@Tor (27,31): you’re in quite good form today!
I refuse to believe UKL used that much punctuation in something intended for publication.
The current cover is altogether more dignified in both illustration and font:

Thanks, GSSxN.
Aw, Ricky, I want to sing with your band at the Tropicana. Babalu aye!
November 5th, 2017 at 2:14 am
Somehow, this cover makes me think of the old adage, “Spring Forward, Fall Back”.
November 5th, 2017 at 3:12 am
@Tor: that hair means someone’s gotta lotta ‘splainin’ to do. Not the sort of fur coat one would expect.
