Click for full imageTommi Comments: The blurb on the back translates as: “… Where Sturgeon, LeGuin, Heinlein and Russ where merely scratching the surface in their attempt to appropriately represent human sexuality in Science Fiction, David Gerrold is digging a deep shaft.” No comment, really, apart from, maybe – uuurgh.

Not much left to the imagination. And I can just see the green guy saying:
“Hurry up and choose one of us love. I can only hold my breath for 10 minutes out of water.”

Man, I have been looking for some of that underwear that is supported by a leather strap around your neck for a while now.
I do note that the large planet behind them seems to be oddly elliptical.

I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing: the green skin, the fins, the ears or the afro. Good show, sir!

The green guy looks like the Gorn and Spock had a secret love child.
Now where’s my Star Trek erotic fiction…

Now here’s an artist who knows how to put a lock of hair in front of the moon in the background. Take note, person responsible for the Dracula’s Brood cover. That’s how you do non-confusing tress-related perspective.

Are they her conscience? Smiley man in neck thong is her good thoughts. Scowly green man in scales and fins is her bad thoughts.
SM: ‘Be virtuous Moonstar (hey! it could be her name). David Gerrold is married! He has kids.’
SGM: ‘You go girl. I know your digging his deep shaft! Who wouldn’t afterall? Go on! It’s only natural. It’ll be be an odyssey!’
I think I may have revealed my inner colourist. Some of best friends are green! Honest!

“Not much left to the imagination. And I can just see the green guy saying:
“Hurry up and choose one of us love. I can only hold my breath for 10 minutes out of water.””
Really?
I can’t help imagining the woman thinking “Crap! They’re digging each others’ deep shafts!”

The lady’s tresses – no, the one with the big face up front – I like how her hair is actually standing out on end. It creates cute red tails for the other two. Quite a coiffure.

I’ve seen this schtick before about Author X producing the kind of searing insight into sexuality that amateurs like Russ and LeGuin could only dream of. It generally means there’s some shagging, and if you’re lucky the one named female character might develop beyond being a mere lust object.

Jesi> Not sure if Sir Shaft would like to be compared to some Green Honky.
In fact the obvious comparison just occurred to me. This is a picture of the studio auditions for the 70′s incredible hulk series.
