Cover Contest 7/28 to 8/3: Umbrella Umbrella

[Kai "the spy"]

Thanks, you guys. And how appropriate for the spy to win with a spy-fi cover.

Hope you all join the new contest.

Congratulations to Kai "the Spy" for an avenging cover featuring the second greatest pair ever to grace that show. Yes, I am an Honor Blackman/Cathy Gale fan. Despite the appeal and comic tones of the Emma Peel years, there was a seriousness and depth to the Gale years which was the actual debut of a competent equal female lead and hero.

As to what the captain has learned this week, they're umbrellas. Is there really anything new? But I will use this space to present an apology and explanation to the staff at CBR. A short time ago, I had a cover taken off because of its sexual nature. I am not arguing the point and respect the rules of the board and will NOT be pressing the issue or mentioning it again. But the Sugar and Spike cover seemed too funny to ignore and I meant absolutely no disrespect.

I also wanted to send an Honorable Mention out to Latverian Ambassador Iron Maiden for her Spidey/Frog cover.

This one goes out to K"tS" on CBR for a well deserved win...

Thank you, Kai "the spy", for bringing us John Steed and Mrs. Peel. They're needed.

And for those of you who are feeling gloomy that you didn't win - cheer up! Let a smile be your umbrella!

Congrats to Kai "the spy"! And thanks to Tami and Iron Maiden for the votes!

I was waiting for a Totoro homage cover and am surprised no one posted any. Like this:



In fact this isn't Gwen's first umbrella cover, her very own debut cover is (although purists would call it a parasol):



And to continue the theme of a lady in pink on a vehicle with a parasol, we can go all the way back to a certain Southern Belle who first started joining a wacky race and then found herself in perpetual peril:

Congratulations Kai.
