Are those multiple chains (attached where? Inside the black hole?) or just one chain long enough to play skip rope? Doesn’t seem very secure.

I’m assuming that neither of the purported males on the cover are Derry Horn (Horn. Heh heh), unless “giving up your Earthly Heritage” involves painting yourself blue.
Well! No wonder she’s buying him, and looking so pleased about it. She must have a very high limit on her Master Card, he wouldn’t be a bargain special.
@Francis: he looks suitable for several other purposes. The whip, lifting heavy things, getting items down off tall shelves, being decorative.
@Vlttp: he was the very definition of Atomic Genitals.
The thing that interests me is the bloke (and there’s no other word for him) on the right. He looks as if he’s just had a sharp intake of breath through his teeth and is saying ‘gor, dear, you can’t be doin’ that ‘ere, luv; this card only permits suggestive leerin’ and frottidge. More’n my job’s worth to let any flaggilative activities ‘appen on the premises.’
@GSSxn: But here discretely censored by hands and shadow, for possibly the only time – unless the Bloke on the right is actually saying ‘Nah, sorry luv, you just can’t get the parts any more.’
@Vlttp: Maybe the stud is a Dr. M impersonator, but she doesn’t see the goods until her credit rating’s confirmed
@Tat: That’s exactly how he sounds!
If/when Mr. Muscles speaks, it’s in more of a David Beckham (famous underwear salesman) voice. Bit silly. The Sales-Bloke says, “An’ it’s extra to NOT ‘ave ‘im talk. Trust me there, luv.”

(Atomic Genitals are one thing but this guy seems to have a black hole.)

I give it a 0% chance he’s looking at the card and not somethings else.

I don’t remember this particular Kurt Russell/Goldie Hawn movie.

@fred: Kurt was never so tall.
Unless it was the sequel to Overboard: Overestimated.

Whip Rentals. 5 credits. 5 minutes.

Why are the whip, the chain, and her eyes so vivid, while everything else is so muted? What is the illustrator trying to tell us?

John Brunner? I think the real title is The Boobs Perk Up.

Not looking so smug now, Dr Manhattan.

I feel like I can almost see a celebrity in each of thier faces but then it slips away.
