…and the fat Centurion with the submachinegun on the masthead. Bill, that's kinda creepy… |

I really like the new mastheads… this one and the Betty Page one… hope they keep coming. |

There was a secret vote Zardoz baby barely beat out naked OFM. |

CRITTER 1 "There was a secret vote Zardoz baby barely beat out naked OFM." Ugh! Don't say  like that man… |

Hey – I likes it! Very festive. |

A R Garbee "Hey – I likes it! Very festive." I hope you don't mean the Naked OFM… |

"Creepy", yeah, I can see that effect: sort of "chucky"-like. Cute little beggar. Bill, is that a pic of your kid? Seriously, I think it is festive and clever, and provocative. Very good balance there…. |

All very much in keeping with the new, post 2008, TMP. Allen |

I understand it was much less expensive to get the baby to pose for the picture than it was to get Mr. Connery to pose for a recent picture in the same attire. Kevin |

We get a new baby Zardoz every New Year's. By Midsummer he'll be looking like Sean Zed. By the Fall he'll be a contestant on Celebrity Jeopardy. And he'll be old and creaky by the time he retires at the end of the year to make room for the new Baby Zed. |

Bill, is that a pic of your kid? Wyatt is the culprit – ask him.  |

I wasn't naked. I was a wearing flesh colored posing pouch. |

Festive mastheads are good, but babies with guns are creepy. I got it in an instant when I saw the red outfit, but not before I got the "baby with gun, ewww" feeling. But that's just me. It was a reminder of the babies-posed-as-terrorists pictures that went around a while back. Andrew |

That has to be better than terrorists posed as babies. |

Children don't become terrorists until they reach the toddler stage. (Even the "It's Alive" babies were less scary than the homocidal grown-ups.) Little folks are sweet and innocent and … <ulp> Heeeere,baby. Something bright… Something pretty… |

I remember that Bradbury short. Very well. I read it long before I was a daddy. And I remembered it when the little s kept waking me up at night. That's when it was easy to believe. Of course, those moments were blessedly rare. Mostly, plenty of good attention produces happy, contented children, who don't leave their toys on the stairs to trip up tired parents =0…. |
