Sure, those kids are smiling now, but wait until the "biscuits" suck onto their face and implant them with an alien embryo :(

Why does the head bubble have 'ear' cups?

Another meaning to space cakes? Or artist impression? :P

Wow, it's weird to see this again. This image played a pivotal role in a game of Poodle I'm still playing! Small internet, I guess.

Awesome how we can pay them money for higher-res versions of these images they copied from old magazines.

Thanks ETI. People talked to me about this site for years now. I bought hundreds of old 1950s magazines and did xerox art from them in the 1980s and it would be absolutely immoral to try and charge someone for some barely-recognized artist's work. They are not worthy of our business.
