I see that one of Satan’s Child’s many nefarious talents is farting a cloud of dandelions.

I wandered lonely as a cloud.
That floats on high o’er vales and hills.
When all at once I saw a crowd.
A host of golden daffodils and a woman’s arse.

“Thja cover’s not loud enough. Slap Brian Blessed on there.”

@THX for the win! 🙂

@DStuffWBT—I’ll second that emotion! Brilliant, THX.😛

I’m waiting for a tale of horror in the slapstick tradition of Rosemary’s Baby, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Thanks, it’s difficult to improve on Wordsworth, but do you know? I might have done it.

@THX 1138—we used to call him “Words Words” in English class. I think you have raised the bar for Romantic poetry in the Callipygian mode.

#2 Satan’s throws up his hands in frustration, “Jayzus, put some clothes on!”

All day, I’ve thought that the second picture featured a man with terrible, horrid teeth. But I think, actually, his mouth is covered by the ocelot’s head. And what I thought were yellow, crooked teeth are in fact spots.

Satanic jazz hands?!? Monstrous!

In the tradition of Rosemary’s Baby they got Ruth Gordon to model for the cover.

Jeff Jones’ cover is in the tradition of Andrew Wyeth.

That unfortunately placed dark gap in the modesty flowers is really working against the concept of modesty.
Perhaps a “when you see it” tag is in order.

Morrissey’s Mother?

Shakespeare’s Sister???

The flowers must be butt ercups.

Assters?

Certainly not tulips…

Chrysanthebums?

@B. Chiclitz – I put so much effort into the alt-text. Why doesn’t anybody read them?
October 31st, 2017 at 8:14 pm
@TW: why doesn’t anyone take time to smell the roses…? 😉
October 31st, 2017 at 8:18 pm
@Tag Wiz—my bad. I usually do read them, religiously actually. I’m sure I read this one, but got so carried away by the scent of this wordplay that I forgot.
No wonder I can’t get on your good side, no matter how hard I try. 🙂

Perhaps the young lady’s flower-excreting talents are why the demons are after her.

A tale of horror in the eerie tradition of the New Testament…

I don’t remember anyone farting flowers in “Rosemary’s Baby”.
Really doesn’t seem like something Satan and his evil wildcat would do.
My thoughts upon seeing this:
1. Wow, that’s terrible.
2. Wow, it got worse. Lurid and stupid.

Q: What does it sound like if you fart flowers?
A: Like a gentle breeze over a summer meadow — nah, just kidding. It’s more like “Brraap!”
November 1st, 2017 at 5:25 pm
@AR: I think it sounds sort of like ‘sorceress’. 😛
