How interesting! I really enjoyed those books, even if they were racist. I still enjoy the later ones about Sumuru, the female world dominating nemesis. He deliberately described her as “of no identifiable race” so as to try avoid the brou-(or should it be FU-)ha-ha of the previous series.
I’ve actually only read a couple (early ones) and was so put off by the “yellow peril” that they became a low priority for me. You make me want to re-examine them.
Oh, don’t bother. When I read them I was around 15, and very bored living in suburban Maryland.
I remember a “slash” sketch that suggested that the real reason why Fu and Nayland pursued one another so relentlessly was that they were really in love with one another. In the later novels, Fu keeps trying to kidnap Nayland. He is supposed to admire the English bloke’s brain but you have to wonder whether he really wanted to ship him off to his seraglio, gunmetal grey eyes and all.
Nayland, I have never been a fan of long/longer hair on men…so what the hell is happening to me? You, Peter, . I’m all twitterpated.
I have often wondered what I’d look like with shoulder-length hair because I’ve been getting flattops/razor cuts/burrs for the last 18 years, I just don’t have the patience for it.

I definitely see the resemblance to clarkelane now. I have to say, though I prefer the look of shorter hair, longer hair is much sexier for running your hands through….and grabbing.
Sexier and sexier….
ahh, now i see the resemblance
So very nice!
hmmmm… really?
Just as nice as the man behind the pipe!
ooooh…glowy…
it’s the best “nayland” I could muster… it’s kinda late for me.
[feathers everywhere]
Sorry, just had a Chicken Lady moment there.
Suffice to say, it’s a niiiiiice photo.
yummm…
all I can do is grunt appreciatively.
….and now, ROOSTER BOY!
[feathers everywhere] again
[fire alarm goes off]
MuFuFuFu! Watch as the fabeled flying sock monkey puppet reigns with a cotton fist of terror over his sock folk minions.
Does this mean you want to drink out of my toilet?
Re: yummm…
A grunt I’ll always treasure!
Nice pipe, nice portrait.
Been doin’ any drawing lately? (hint)
Where’s the top hat?
Ha! As picasso said about his portrait of Gertrude Stein: she will come to resemble it.
Strugglin to finish it – it’s 26 inches square over all.
Glad to know my anxiety makes me hot!
Aw shucks thanks!
But how big is the drawing?!
That is so very sweet. How’s your back doing?
Hot cha-cha
That’s a lucky pipe…
like ya had to ask? anxiety = tension = hot
it’s like peter = clarkelane = freak

Great photo! Makes me think you’re related to Nayland Smith, Stalwart Nemesis of the Devil Doctor.

URGENT
Nayland, they already made the frame 22 inches square… do they have to make a new frame, or could it possibly be trimmed down a little?
Glad to know my anxiety makes me hot!
Aw shucks thanks!
He is my namesake, by way of my paternal grandmother.
Re: URGENT
I think it will still work – the 26″ figure was including a generous border.
Re: Hot cha-cha

Re: URGENT
whew! that’s great! xxxaa

God, I want you both so bad…

I blame it all on.
Maybe we’re all just going post-bear or something.

All I have to say is – Fiiiiine!
Boswell?
Doctor Johnson, where are you?
Re: Boswell?
See, I was smoking my Boswell, but feeling my Johnson.
why thanks, hot stuff!
Re: Boswell?
I always thought it strange that Doc Johnson should also provide a line of marital aids.
Even stranger, that Ben Affleck is related to Boswell.
