The Brave Little Toaster, paperback bunko illustrations!

There have been three Japanese editions of Thomas M Disch’s original ‘The Brave Little Toaster’ novella. One was published in the magazine of Sci Fi and Fantasy, there was also this illustrated paperback bunko, and a tankōbon hardcover which used character designs similar to Karen Lee Schmidt’s art from the 1980 Doubleday/Grafton pressing. The artwork in this paperback is especially cute! I love the depiction of the old and new appliances gathered in the city apartment, and the master and mistress meeting the Swap Shop kittens ☺️

The strangest version of The Brave Little Toaster

This is the cover, and some very low resolution sleeve illustrations for the Thai version of The Brave Little Toaster. There are some funny quirks with the character designs…the Toaster is red, the Lamp has a shade rather than a gooseneck, and the old Hoover is a shop-vac style canister! (Which makes sense as upright models have never been common in Asia due to the types of flooring used) I would love to find a copy of this edition, as it’s only only major version of the book that I’m missing!
