ok, i'll keep in mind that "slaves.." is your fav one picking the next bunch :)

floatingslowly 03.08.2007 12:49 PM

I'm just a fan of giant killer robots. :)

you would think that those people would have found a better place to hide from the Metal Horde than behind that burned-out tree.

the rope in the robot's other hand is about to teach that girl a valuable lesson about her stupidity!

PLEASE NOTE: when a faced with a line of marching killer robots, don't listen to yr boyfriend.

Uh, you'll probably find this one quite delightful, then... the original print is a bit blurry, you can't see really well those little men/women...but you get the idea....
 

floatingslowly 03.08.2007 01:17 PM

that's the best one yet!!

what do you think that robot is planning on growing?? other than fertilizer, I'm not sure that planting people make good seed stock.

and....I just laughed inappropriately loud. guess that's a sign that I should call lunch hour over and get back to work.

more more more!!

nicfit 03.08.2007 01:31 PM

more will come! (at some point in the near future...)
I think it's just fertilizer, or probably the robots are just mimiking (sp?) what they learnt watching humans and now they "live" a life that to them is similar to humans'....argh...

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.08.2007 01:39 PM

This stuff is awesome!

nicfit 03.08.2007 02:16 PM

Ladies and gentlemen, a new old school sci-fi art fan joined us! Give him a round of applause! *clap clap* ! welcome to this thread spectraljulianisnotdead :) , now I'll post some more scans (till The Shield will be on).

nicfit 03.08.2007 02:46 PM

floatingslowly 03.15.2007 09:15 PM

here are some I like:
 
 

floatingslowly 03.15.2007 09:22 PM

although I can't find decently sized pictures, my favorite book of all time deserves a spot here.

 


 

I really need to go to the used book store to get more Heinlein.

nicfit 03.16.2007 04:18 AM

bah, forget babelfish (unless you're in need of a good laugh) and just enjoy the scans...

floatingslowly 03.16.2007 08:58 AM

yeah, I had CLICCATED [edit] around quite a bit until I saw the babelfish.

it's translations always crack me up.

I'm SO going to start saying "cliccate".

nicfit 03.16.2007 09:05 AM

well, consider that even the babelfish button is spelled WRONG

I'm ok with the funny and misspelled words, but I don't like the way it squirms in my ear.

nicfit 09.16.2008 09:27 AM

I searched threads with "floatingslowly" in the title to see if we ever had a "real" birthday thread for him.
Found this and thought, aaah, good ol times.
clicked it.

what the flyin' fuccckk???


Look at the first pic in the first post.
Is that possible that imageshack "deleted" the old pic and now another one got the same name and that one shows up?
This is the freakiest thing that ever happened to any of my posts.
baaaaah!!!

floatingslowly 09.16.2008 09:56 AM

this is the thread where we find out that nic is actually a furrie.

o for shame. for shame. for shame.

I recently picked up some old editions of New Worlds magazine that I found for next to nothing in a junk shop in Wales. Ballard, Disch, Aldiss, wunderbar.
 

demonrail666 09.16.2008 12:19 PM

My fave sci-fi novel this, and now I have the original. Happy days:

 

nicfit 07.06.2009 04:37 PM

ok, seeing lots have been deleted (and that "first post image incident" which still makes me laugh/creeps me out) I think it's time to set up a personal photobucket account or something like that.
suggestions?*

*self-thread-hijacking.

Rob Instigator 07.06.2009 04:43 PM

bah, forget babelfish (unless you're in need of a good laugh) and just enjoy the scans

to German then back to English then French, then back to English, then Greek, and back to english

bah, it forgets babelfish (c'? it is you'? [Risos] [makakos] fault the good laughter) and it appreciates the correct sweeps

I work at a library, so I get all kids of crazy related book stuff emailed to me.

Here is a link to a site where people are trying to create the WORST sci fi book cover imaginable. Of course, most of the examples given are awesome.

I want to read this.

If Earth is dead...why do I see it in the background? Do they just mean LIFE ON Earth is dead? See, it draws you in! You wanna find out!

floatingslowly 07.16.2009 09:47 PM

^^^ I believe that authors and cover artists rarely collaborated. :p
 

best book ever? MOORCOCK is skull-fucking a mutant.
how you like my runestaff, bitch?

krastian 07.16.2009 09:49 PM

Ha ha, seriously.

jennthebenn 07.16.2009 09:52 PM

Oh man, the disconnect between author and artist is that profound?

I'm so disillusioned.
