Hey aren't you Dr Robert Asten from Quincy M.E.? Click for full image

Lauren Comments: Thought you might like to compare another version of this timeless tale of a dentist bravely going where no man has gone before. Namely, into an alien mouth full of yuk caused by a lack of dental hygiene.
Published 1985

    If the dentistry doesn’t work out he can always go back to cleaning windows.

    New Prostho Plus, cuts straight to the heart of the pain. And washes dishes whiter.

    I like the alien’s ladder, but don’t like to think where either of these creatures has been putting their thermometers.

    I also suspect that SOME part(s) of that alien need to be sheeped – there some suspicious bumps in the chestal region, and some curious danglies in the nethers. S/he also looks as if s/he has just won the Betelgeuse Knobbly Knee Competition 2057.

    The real yuk is at the bottom of the picture. Is that his dental assistant? Are the dentist and his assistant holding drill bits in their hands? Does the assistant have its feet on backwards? Thanks doc, I’m ready for some gas now.

    Ha! Ah haHa! Thank you whacky cover for saving me from purchasing another less than clever bit of smarm and wit! Now if it was a Xanth book, well, need I say more? Thanks young Harvey Korman!

    So what does the S stand for in Pier S Anthony? Wait a minute……(looks closer at ghetto font selection)

    The S is for Xanth.

    Freaky. Just started re-reading the first 3 Apprentice Adept books last night. Makes me wonder what Rowena Morrill would have done with this cover.
    Why aren’t the ‘h’ and ‘o’ in Anthony getting all cuddly wuddly like the ‘h’ and ‘o’ in Prostho?

    I didn’t know Robert Goulet was a dentist. Hmm.

    Will a mild-mannered specialist in rectal dysfunction make it in the high-powered gas emissions of galactic taco restaurants?

    What drove Piers Anthony to write a novel about sci fi dentistry? Was he perhaps trying to woo an attractive dental hygienist? Or was he just hopped up on laughing gas?

    @THX 1138: No need. I think he’s got it covered. That’s about the amount of equipment they always want to cram in my mouth. The assistant looks the part too.
