It’s a Two-fer Tuesday: Worst of the Best from F&SF

Ace E. Doocy Comments:

1. The FBI Taint Team swings into action.

2. Better add a rocket or they’ll never know it’s science fiction.

Published 1962, 1975

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!

I would touch it without protective gloves.

I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.

Interesting, but I would still read it in public.

Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully good

Would not like to be seen reading that!

Awful... just awful...

That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!

Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!

Good Show Sir!

Old Year Sum Up 2015

Sorry about the delay in posting! I would like to say the New Year was full of alchomohol but unfortunately it was full of coldy flu-y illness!

It’s been a crazy year, full of server crashes, fighting with corrupt databases, resurrections and return to nearly former glory! Just want to say thanks to all who have stuck around and I still love laughing daily at all your comments!

Also just want to thank the Tag Wizard who has been a huge help to me this year! May it continue on over 2016! Happy New Year!!

First, the top rated cover of last year:
