    Girls On The Brain?

    Whatcha Thinking About?

    I’m not the fan of science-fiction, at least when it relates to space travel, that I used to be.  One thing I’ve never grown tired of is the bizarre artwork that tends to accompany it.

    The illustration above comes from H. Beam Piper’s story Ullr Uprising (1952), available for free at Project Gutenberg.  There are more illustrations in the ebook.  I might just have to give this one a try, if for no other reason than to see if I can decipher the artwork afterward.

    Great picture, although it could also be used as a summary of my mindset in highschool.

      You and me both. I assume you’re NOT referring to the robot? :)

        Indeed! ;)

        Not sure if you’ve ever encountered this gallery, but I generally find it very inspirational: http://picasaweb.google.com/pulpgallery

    Nice find. I think my “witty” circuits have been shorted out because I’m at a loss for words.
