Astounding vol. 61, no. 4 (June 1958)

This looks like a mutant Kincaid painting with those super-saturated colours. I like the thing which is either a long-necked hippo or a squished giraffe.

If there were two moons in the sky of a planet, would they both be in the same phase? I'm scratching my head over that one.

Original magazine: archive.org/details/Astounding…

A rural scene featuring a rough track alongside a fence, with a humanoid figure in the middle distance and two moons in the sky. In the foreground is a sign reading "PRIVATE PROPERTY /. NO HUNTING/OR/TRESPASSING" and an alien animal which looks like a skinny long-necked hippo is squeezing its head through the fence to eat flowers with its long tongue. Astounding Stories magazine cover from 1958.
