Jeeves with a mustache?

[derien.livejournal.com]

The picture of the cover of "Code of The Woosters" on Amazon features a rather red-faced, older Jeeves with a mustache!  Seems highly unlikely given how he seems to detest them on Bertie.  One wonders if Jeeves has had his own mustache fiascos which turned him against facial hair.  Some woman threw herself at him because his mustache was far too attractive...?

I'm amused by the resemblance that cover has to pulp novel covers.

Like the stance of the characters on a cover of a pulp romance? The way the taller Jeeves is sort of behind Bertie with the implication that he might wrap an arm around him, and Bertie looking up at him....?

Some time ago I went image-searching for lesbian pulp covers on the net, since, well, they're neat. As I'm not otherwise very familiar with pulp covers, that's what that reminded me of. So yes, in other words! LESBIAN pulp romances! Which is even more amusing, really.

Oh, that faux-lesbian for guys type of pulp. Actually, that really IS funny, seeing as slash is faux-gay for women pulp.

You couldn't be more right.

I want to read the lesbian pulp, though. A lot of it, I've been led to understand, was written by women for women - stories of tragic love opposed by cruel social rules. With the obvious exceptions. Ranging from this (http://www.datalounge.net/sections/lha/exhibits/pulp1.jpg) to this (http://www.afterstonewallbooks.com/queerpulpwmn.jpg). And I just finished a pulp-like gay detective novel that wasn't for women or faux... For one, there was no romance!
