I didn’t know Nicholas Lyndhurst had a sister.

is there a version where edited women write about unedited women?

Publisher: This is a feminist sort of deal, so stay away from the sexist stereotypes, OK.
Artist: Can I get away with an absurdly short skirt if I make the heroine completely sexually unnattractive?
Publisher: Yeah, that should work.

Is a novelette more ladylike than a novella?

It’s about time female sabre-toothed tigers got some cover representation!

Looks like a really weird game of Tetris is going on over their heads. Above you!

Fighting a Saber-toothed tiger with a straw? That does make you wonder.

Cover illustrates an extremely short story in the book.

@B. Chiclitz – I think she’s fighting the tiger with a blade of grass. Sounds like a zen thing.

A middle-aged blonde woman in a flesh-toned jumpsuit under a pink shirt fighting a gold saber-toothed tiger robot with a . . . butter knife? Sounds right, yes, a butter knife . . . in the jungle as a massive amount of multicoloured bubbles falls from the air.

@THX (#1): I read that, recalled the late 90s WH Smiths adverts and spent the rest of the day in a foetal position under the desk. Thanks.

Why the long face?
The cat is so far in the foreground that we really don’t know how big it is. It could be that the wondrous woman is holding a butter knife to scrape out a can of Fancy Feast for the wee moggy.

@Tat: What hath I wrought? What terrible power hath been unleashed?! Yeah, sorry about that.

Um… it’s better than the one with the naked lady flossing the rat?
The trees seem to have a lot of empty thoughts, judging by their many thought balloons. Evidently they don’t know how to react to the scene either.
The quality of work seems to indicate this is another cover painted by Charles, age 12 1/2. Not good with any details or proportion, but thinks saber-tooths are kewl and made sure to put giant boobs on the non-realistic woman.
Perhaps she’s a veterinary dentist and her tool is to help moggie’s terrible teeth?

Is it me, or did they employ the rarely used “bums-font”?

Never use too much yeast when you’re baking a title logo.

Especially for books that are half baked.

Cleaning out the bookshelves and found this yesterday.
I am thankful the colors on mine are faded.
Women who Wonder why the covers are so sexist. Maybe to trick incels and dudebros into reading something that could help them see that women are also human beings.
In any case, our copy is going to the used bookstore soon, where someone else can marvel over moggie and Pink (of course) Woman.
