About Me

Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

    When I first saw it I thought of Curiosity on Mars. Not quite the same thing but close enough.

    Yes, it does resemble the Mars rovers. Apparently humanity ignored the warning on the cover.

    That's also the first thing that came to my mind: it looks like the Mars rovers. Well done by the drawer in 1962! Why should we stay off the Moon?

    Indeed, outstanding art. Rob, I haven't read the story inside yet so I don't know.
