Good Show Sir

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:

Ryan Art Direction: “Yeah, it’s another Van Vogt. Let’s see, paint up a haggard floozy, Evil Blue Buddha, and the guy from the cover of the first Enigma album. Also make sure none of the furniture has any visible means of support.”

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: “Earthman, Go Home” Party

Good Show Sir comments:

1. “Earthman, Go Home!” screeches the lizard creature.

2. “Earthman, Come Back!” We forgot about our scheduled maintenance.

Thanks to Roger McC for sending one in.

You might remember this from here.
