Walkies?Front Cover

Melania!Second Cover

Good Show Sir comments: We rescued him from the shelter because of those puppy-dog eyes. Then the killing started.

[Note the front cover has eyeholes that reveal the eyes of the second cover. Confused? See here.]

Thanks to JuanPaul for sending this in.

Olde Year Summe Up 2020

10 Comments »

Look the calendar. It’s 2021. I tried flipping the page to 2022 but that didn’t work. So instead of looking forward let’s look backward and reflect on our past glory.

On to the honours. Based on ratings, the recent “Swedish Megapost” is on top. But it is our judgement that it will need to stand the test of time longer than two weeks to claim top honours. Also some little prick in Paraguay has been screwing around with our stellar vote rating system. Somehow our election fraud complaints has drawn terrifying responses online. Therefore, the highest rated cover of 2020 is:

Nebula Award Stories 1

Our silver medal winner:

The Little Boy Who Could Talk to Bigfoot

And the bronze medal winning:

My personal favourite cover of 2020:

The Trouble With Heroes

Tag Wizard’s chosen favourite for the year:

And we were finally able to reach Tweet Jane, who has been away on a lengthy … let’s call it a sabbatical. My favourite cover is The Beasts of Tarzan. For no other reason than I feel just like the lion looks.
