Sophaloaf’s Art Direction: Okay, nothing says the future of publishing more than an oversized walkman that runs on floppy disks. Just imagine handsets so big theyll have to hover above a bunch of skyscrapers like a space ship.
Published 1990

Ironically, now sold as an E-book.
Many thanks to Sophaloaf!

Good Show Sir Comments:

There once was a damsel named Janet
Who came from a world called Big Planet
The gravity well
Caused her boobies to swell
But the Space Sheep is here so don’t ban it
