Look out behind you! It's two people having a quiet conversation!

"Hey, the new Heinlein is ready for printing! Do we have a relevant cover illustration?"

"No, but I can stencil some near-nudes on a piece of acid blotting papers!"

Who says disco is dead? Or jazzercise, for that matter?

>1 daard23: The conversation is about her outfit, I'm sure. Both puppets behind her do sort of have their noses in the air, so they seem to disapprove of her shocking deshabille.

With all those strings, it’s going to take AI just to move the puppets.
Does the guy on our left have the buttock callosities of a baboon?

She'd been looking forward to a fun MFM threesome, but the two dudes turned out to be a bit more than just bi-curious.

She likes big butts, and, well... NOPE.

Believe it or not, it actually has something to do with the story: the nudity/near nudity is a major story element, and the guys appear to be wearing those anti-puppeteer spine shielding they were trying for while.

Nudity in a Heinlein story? Well, I never!

This looks like the beginning of a 80's music video lol. Also the woman's energy is very much 'I am going to be changing direction and starting a full-on riot grrrl band in a few more years'
