Facehugger airlines

This lovely piece is illustrator Dennis Larkins's "New Normal," apparently available as a signed, numbered print (though as of this writing, his website's not working).

Welcome to the Fine Arts & Prints Section! (via Wil Wheaton)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I’m sick and tired of rape culture excusing this kind of behavior. Isn’t it time we called these monsters what they are: facerapists?

  You just need to say “Excuse me, your balls are on my chin!”

I’m going to nitpick here. Shouldn’t the tails be wrapped around their necks so you can’t just yank ‘em off? I mean in the first one when someone tried that the tail started strangling the host.

  Yep. Also they’re full of “molecular acid” although which acid isn’t clear.
  
  Suffice it to say, the acid is caustic enough to eat through several layers of spaceship-grade interior hull material and plumbing, and then being neutralized enough not to completely melt a BIC pen.

    Molecular acid is the kind made out of molecules. Duh!

And remember to put on your own face hugger before assisting your child to put on their face hugger.

I thought I saw testicles on their faces.

Those facehuggers can’t be a good thing. But look at the ample comfortable seats and all that leg room!
