5 Ping Pong Balls and a handful of Paperclips (Part Deux)

Part Deux

Having discussed the evolution of sci-fi book covers since the '60's and discovering that the average fee for a cover picture from that time could have been as low as £5 it was not surprising to see an example picture consisting of a few ping pong balls and some wire. It was decided to give the membership a chance to create something from this oeuvre. The rules of the competition were sufficiently slipshod to allow a wide range of submissions.

  1. Surely the 1st. photo of 'Granny's boa?' should have been titled 'Triple Tribble Trouble!'
