Tag Wizard here wishing you all a Happy New Year! 2016 was an awful year in general but very disruptive here at Good Show Sir. Because of financial losses caused by continued unfair competition by Chinese Good Show Sir, GSS Admin left for St. Petersburg in midsummer to be administrator for a Russian troll farm and fake news site. No cause for alarm, he hopes to get an exit visa and return any day now. After Brexit our entire staff of embittered and poorly paid Polish tag minions quit en masse, but not before pilfering all of our office supplies. And this was the year our iconic I Sing the Body Electric cover was continually knocked out of the Top Ten by flashy, trendy, more-recent covers. Fortunately it is back in the favourites, no doubt thanks to GSS Admin’s troll army. Hopefully 2017 will be a much better year. It can’t be any worse than 2016!
On to the honours. First, the top rated cover of last year:
Before he left, GSS Admin said this was his chosen favourite:
And my chosen favourite from the year:
Dear gender inclusive Sirs,
It is with heavy heart that I must tell you today’s broadcast has been interrupted by unforseen circumstances affecting the ferret-powered / ferret-eaten Good Show Sir server.
Either that or we’ve been accosted by the masses of IO9 / BoingBoing / MeFi / Reddit, incensed that such an obviously amateur and inadequately snark-filled operation cannot scale up in time to support a substantial increase in traffic. Sorry!
In addition, GSS Admin, who is currently in foreign lands, had to “run off to an early meeting and then get thrown out of a hotel,” taking the keys to the GSS email account with him. Ominous.
So all I have for you is this blank post draft I found, entitled “Encounter.” The suspects:
ISFDB: Encounter by J. Hunter Holly, Avalon Books 1959, illustrated by Emsh http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?251811
ISFDB: Encounter by J. Hunter Holly, Monarch Books 1962, illustrated by Jack Schoenherr http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?265631
Have at it, and have a jolly weekend!
