Speaking of which, those are Roman sandals he is wearing. I just wanted to point that out because you might think he has his feet jammed into slimy cornucopias. Also, he is -traveling- -back- -in- -time-, people, not being served for dinner. Note the collaged photograph of an ancient city, how it is juxtaposed against the crudely watercolored landscapes and forms in the foreground, making us question, which is the -real- world?

I like that somehow traveling back in time has instantly changed his clothes!
Of course not that I know anything about this book. It could be depicting his return to the present.

His feet are made from the children’s toy Glow Worm.

One foot, and one pointy stump. Stripy shirt from Primark, or is that pyjamas under there? I thought he was being revealed from beneath a giant wizard’s hat.
Unusual to replace the name of an author with a possessive credit. What do they think this is, Hollywood?

If you squint, his legs look like drills. Now that would make for an interesting story…

That author’s name just rolls off the tounge, eh?

One foot, and one pointy stump.
And two left knees, apparently.

That’s a weird kind of body modification – replacing one’s feet with croissants.
