Emster Comments: Dear GSS regulars, please provide clever quips for this cover art. I expect your comic offerings will make up for the 3 hours of my life I’m never getting back (typical hazard for sf fans who will try any author once).

GSS Admin Comments: It says it’s comedy but apparently it isn’t funny. So we’ll allow it.
