I just read a plot summary of this book, and it now seems a very reasonable visual interpretation. The blue man is a time traveller. The lobster is what the future holds. Sort of. You have been warned!
Well, lobster, red moon, blue hunk statue, gigantic waves, hairy stones… but the Shai-Hulud does not live in the sea. We can’t have that on the cover! No, it’s not the lipstick, the lipstick’s fine.

Looking at the full canvas, I think that lobster’s wanted on the telephone.

No one warned him that homefaring could lead to crabs (yes I know it’s a lobster but that isn’t as smutty)

Sorry to point this out. But the mouth of that lobster is clearly balls.
It’s like a car crash… I can’t stop staring…

The moral of this book is that one shouldn’t be crabby and shellfish.

I think this needs a “Font Problems” tag.
And blue guy looks like a statue. That the lobster is worshipping. *raised eyebrow*
