Piper’s Art Direction: What do you mean a naked Terminator woman won’t do? Fine, add another woman in the background curled up in a ball and she HAS to be naked too. That, a broken egg and some kitchen tiles and I think we’re done here.

Unleash the Susanne Sully-Bot 2000!
Oh, and that prude C.S. Lewis is so censorious that he’s blocking the uncensored image as well.

I presume the girl in the corner is in the naughty corner for breaking the Panorama Egg from a couple of days ago.

@THX 1138 – Thanks for pointing that out, fixed! But now we know you are one of the naughty ones! 😛

Okay, a story with this title cannot be that exciting. I mean, it’s about Squares. Pfui! 🙂
August 7th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
But if these are the *squares* of the city, just think what the groovy hepcats must be like!
August 7th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Yeah, these ladies aren’t that square. I can see some of their grooves.
August 7th, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Mr. Lewis doesn’t like circles.

So I assume this book is Sarah Jessica Parker career retrospective.

Don’t remember much of this one, except that (iirc) it’s mostly political satire. The artist took the ‘squares’ quite literally, I see. Certainly no naked ladies that I remember.

The silvery trail under the second lady’s bottom is quite alarming.

The Squares of the Titty?

The squares of the city are equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. By the way, your hypotenuse is showing.

If these are the Squares of the city, what do the Hipsters of the city look like?

Back cover quote:
“We dare you to read the pulse-pounding ‘sulking naked on the kitchen floor’ chapter!”

As I recall, this was about a giant chess game. If the artist misheard ‘pawn’…

The Squares Look Up

The woman on the floor evidently lost the last battle and had to give up the silver chair. Sulking, she vowed not to speak until they were out of the silent planet, or at least until we have faces.

Alice began to suspect she really needed to bring her impulse buying under control. The “fixer-upper” sexbot, the invisible “fit for royalty” clothes, and now the giant Kinder Egg, which turned out to contain nothing but existential angst.
GSS, @Tor Mented.

Mr Lewis (C.S.) should be replaced by Mr. Lewis (Huey).

That CSL head is oversized for what it’s covering. He wanted to make sure nobody got the faintest glimpse of devil’s dumplings. Did it hatch out of the egg?
Or is floor woman in the naughty corner for breaking the egg (that was maybe going to make a giant omelette in the kitchen, for the Squares’ brunch), or for losing the giant ratite or dino that was in it, and must sit next to the evidence of her crime?
@Tor, @fred: GSS!

“Yes, I’m sulking. I’m sick of her getting all the attention with that come-hither-C.S. Lewis-pose. She’s such a phony. You can see right through her.”

@BC: “Even eating the world’s largest hardboiled egg didn’t make me feel better. Chocolate had better come in squares in the city.”
