Christal Comments: Unbeknownst to the author, the night before the cover art was due the artist stayed up all night smoking weed and watching The Mummy and Star Trek IV on an endless loop all night long.

Taxi!Click for larger image

GSS ex-noob Comments: These are being slowly taken in to the used bookstore. Who seem to be recycling them — I don’t get any money, but I got these for free and now they’re out of the house. Considering the price of gas, I’m losing a bit of money!

At any rate: #1! Setting the standard.

Vincent Comments: To be fair, the cover blurb says that it is “different” and judging by the illustration, which I cannot even comprehend, I think that’s very fair.

Iron Side got a lot better when they replaced him with a robot.

SteveAsat Comments: You know what robots really don’t need? Polio. For more than three decades I have wondered whether anything even remotely resembling this scene appears in the novel. But it’s Saberhagan, so the mere thought of flipping through the actual text induces naptime.

Frank Comments: It’s a decent painting of a scene in the story, but there’s plenty uncovered boobs involved even if they’re small and not so obviously nipply. Have you got enough Space Sheep for this sort of situation?
