Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: When bikers talk to each other they usually never take off their helmets right? Well have one on there twiddling his thumbs like he’s trying to borrow 20p to buy some sweets at the school tuck-shop!

The artist, with the chap in green, has convincingly captured the fear all bikers feel when The Mystic Bike Shagger appears and starts to undo his belt.

Babylon 5 called. They want their logo back.

@Smith: Funny!
I suppose it’s possible glove-twiddler will remove the helmet to reveal — gasp — an attractive young woman with perfectly brushed hair.

Biker 1: Hey guys, want to see something that goes faster than your bike *ziiiiiiip*
Bikker 2: God no! I’m outta here!

TOP GEAR’s The Stig meets BABYLON FIVE’s 5 meets… Mickey Mouse’s trousers?

“Hey, maybe they always wear helmets because they they are space bikers, in space, or some– Oh, wait, that’s a tire.”
This makes the “The Lies That Bind” cover look like the “I Sing the Body electric” cover.
Dangit, it’s a sci-fi book, the cover needs to be awesome! Or at least deranged and unintentionally amusing!

Why have The Stig’s shoulders grown up and swallowed his neck?… And why are those people sitting on the Pilot from Farscape?

White helmet: Luke, I am your father!
Green Helmet: No you’re not, the guy behind me is!
Red Helmet: Luke, I have something to tell you…

“Some say…He once posed for the cover art on Futuretrack 5…We simply know him as…Well, OK, not The Stig, but some guy who really, really wanted to be him.”
Budget cuts really hit Top Gear hard this year….

“Futuretrack 5” sounds just like those crappy pop-music compilation tapes they churned out in the 80s…

Biker: I’m not going to give a ride to someone wearing a stormtrooper helmet. You need a proper crash helmet. Besides, I only have room for two.
