Trimming the bougainvillea

"Tropicals plants are so futuristic, she said. Plant a bougainvillea, she said."

And it doesn't even have any flowers! Plus exposure to all that sap when he starts cutting is going to give him a rash.

This might be the dumarest cover I have ever seen.

>3 ScoLgo: Genuine LOL.

Also, is his bubble helmet open at the front? With a murderous spiky plant attacking?

>3 ScoLgo: Dumb and Dumarest? That doesn't look so much like Jim Carrey..... ;-)

Well, sometimes yard work does feel like this.
Also, on the old GSS site we had many discussions on how to hold a bladed weapon. This is not the most efficient grip for sawing vines.

Excellent detail: the 70s-tastic little locks and keys hooked to his belt buckle, the kind that used to come with Samsonite bags.

>4 GSSex-noob: But if the bubble plate were in place it might obscure that ruggedly handsome face!

It's like a Venus flytrap, but his outfit has no fly.

>9 TorMented: To be fair, it does not appear that he needs one.

>7 EndofDiskOne: You want to keep your spaceship keys handy.

anthropophagic plants are another pulp standard.

>7 EndofDiskOne: Is he the Space Chatelaine? Or did the plant swallow his Samsonite, thus him needing to fight for the luggage? Sure, it could survive a gorilla, but plants?

@2wonderY: True! The hero must always look his best, even in Xtreeeeeme Gardening.

@bam2001: thanks as always.

Doug McClure as you've never seen him...

Out in the backyard of his summer cottage (in space!), getting after the overgrown plants.
