Description
If you haven't read Henlein, you haven't read science fiction, and if you haven't read this, you haven't read Heinlein. It's the quintessential time travel-paradox story. It's exciting, it's fun, and of course, there's the cat. --Alex Klapwald
A simple one, this. Loosely based on a 1970's book cover.

Superb artwork with a wonderful story depicted well, quality pose work, detailed textures, perfect contrast, nice colors combined into a visually excellent and fun to view artwork!!!
Very nice illustration. I really like the quality of light from the torches. When I was 15 my family went on a road trip to Colorado. I was reading The Door into Summer at the time and came within a few minutes of Robert A. Heinlein's home. I wanted to call him on the phone so badly and tell him how amazing I thought he was, however at 15 I didn't want to hear someone else tell me that I was an idiot and I should stop bothering them, so I didn't call.
Awwww this is adorable Steve!! Ps so sorry being late with commenting!...Shannon ;}
Very cool scene!!!
