Haven't we seen this before?

Possibly in a less-cartoony, more-realistic style, but it seems way too familiar

Flight Attendant Faye was not having any more guff from that airhead.

>1 GSSex-noob: Yes, it certainly was on the other site, though I’m thinking it might have been adapted for a book cover. My urbane and sophisticated comments then referenced the apparent inclusion of a dildo. From memory, I think the object was significantly more dildoesque in that version. Anyone remember the title?

Please, somebody? After far too long searching (which took me to some places I really didn't want to go) I still haven't found it.

>4 haydninvienna: Are we talking about He Conquered Venus? (linked to ISFDB.com).

>5 ScoLgo: Yes, that's it! The coloring and shading are different, but the Scandi one was a later re-use.

I think I said the conquering looked the other way around. And probably a dildo joke. Definitely #bubblehelmet.

But I can't check because my browser refuses to let me go to GSS tonight.

>6 GSSex-noob: @ ScoLgo: I just got on GSS. It isn’t He Conquered Venus or any other book with Venus in the title unless my search was completely screwed.

On a hunch, I looked up the Swedish word for Venus. And do you know what it is?
Venus.

Well, I don't know about the cover "art" (gloriously dreadful though it is), but I had an instant flash of recognition with the magazine logo.



That's a UK edition from 1987, so it might not ring bells for everyone.

I don’t know if this shows a man trapped in a hilarious alternate reality. Maybe it’s a man trapped in a woman’s body, or in a Killer Tomato.

I'm a little puzzled about the position, if not existence, of her right arm.

The tomato appears to take immaculate care of its teeth, though.

>9 RobertDay: Hilarious for the Killer Tomato, but not for the damsel.

From the picture, all I can guess is that K. Tomato bit off and ate damsel's right arm, then brushed with a whitening toothpaste to get rid of the ugly bloodstains.
Either that, or her right arm is stuck in a hole in the wall trying to retrieve something to dice the tomato for soup.

Still, immaculate dental care, either way.

I really hope damsel can slice and dice up the toothy Killer Tomatoes.

OTOH, she seems to be restrained by the ankle strap and maybe her arm or stump thereof, as if comely young lasses are great tomato bait.

>13 GSSex-noob: Perhaps there's a Tomato Hunter in the spaceship with a gun and he's tied her up specifically to attract tomatoes?

♫I know I'm going to miss her
A tomato ate my sister
Sacramento fell today
They're marching into San Jose
Tomatoes are on their way!

Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you,
Squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch
Lunch, lunch
Dinner or lunch, lunch, lunch
Dinner or luuuuuunch♫

>15 TorMented: *applause*

I originally saw that like most people did, on VHS rental.

I also saw the sequel, much later. Stars a young George Clooney, obviously thinking "I gotta pay the rent somehow".

IMDB tells me a FIFTH movie is coming out this year.😧

>16 GSSex-noob: I think the sequel is available on Tubi now. Also with John “Addams Family” Astin. Might watch it this weekend.

I found a couple of YouTube clips of the "song" 'Puberty Love'. I now have no wish to watch the film — I'd be afraid my brain would start dribbling out my ears.

>18 haydninvienna: That could be a symptom that you are a killer tomato.

>16 GSSex-noob: Huh. Knew there was a sequel, but I was entirely unaware of three and four.

>20 bam2001: So was I till this week!

@haydninvienna: Damn you, I'd gotten rid of that earworm from 40+ years ago and now it's back!
