Is that you, Ida Lupino?

“A world of weird people and uncanny kingdoms?” It was Earth all the time! What a twist!

In measured praise of both covers, both have something for the heroine to escape.

“Miss i don’t know whats coming out of your uh…. gun…. but could you stop please, I have to clean it up!”

Talk about your bad hair days. Use some product, woman!

If the triangles count as a square then the four squares count as a square making two triangles and five squares science fiction, leaving out the two or four possible rectangles depending on whether you take verticality into account and whatever a five sided figure is called because all that info would be a stupid name for a publisher. Plus any other possible shapes involved.

Reality tip: I don’t think that’s how anything works. Well apart from the slightly strained “how did I get on to this awful cover” expression on the woman’s face. That’s spot on.

The toothed creature in the background (Venus Fly Trap? How appropriate!) looks like one of the bots from MST3000. The little things in the foreground look like sentient open-end wrenches.
There are many other observations to make, but I’m too enthralled by Ida Lupino’s sexy pose.

@BC: that’s not Crow T. Robot, that’s Audrey II!
Edit: or maybe Phytosaurus, but I think they’re endemic to Earth.

Either her pelvis is weirdly deformed, or that underwear is really painful.
Regardless, I see an opportunity for an “anatomical issues” tag, if the Tag Wizard sees this at all.

@B’mancer: not above the neck, that’s Brad Pitt in his single most whiney role!

@Anna – Yeah, the lady definitely has “issues”.

I was going to say “And so Naked Burroughs Week on GSS comes to an end,” but that was yesterday’s cover.
Is that a ray gun she’s holding, or… something else?
I will say this looks more uncanny and exotic than the previous one, with weirder creatures to escape from than a sabre tooth.
@fred: It adds up to 3/6, obviously.
“Escape From Venus, starring Brad Pitt as Ida Lupino.”

From this woman’s expression, I know how she feels: You’re in the middle of a world of weird people when you have the nagging thought: “Did I turn the oven off before I left the uncanny kingdom?”

“Escape From Venus, starring Brad Pitt as Ida Lupino.”
A movie I’d definitely see twice, once from the neck up, once from the neck down.

@DSWithBT (9)—the more I look at that appendage on its head, the more I think it’s actually a Penus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipulameoff).

I’ve identified the plant giving Ida such a hard time.
