Ever tried to look at a bee on the end of your nose? Here’s the tasteful nude version of that alarming feeling. The wind will change and he’ll stay like that.

I’m seeing some hidden bums on that face! hehehehehehehe

I had to blow up the image before I even noticed the sheep. What a cluster… of weirdness!

At first I was confused, then, on deep zoom, I saw the hypodermic syringe above the left eye. “Ah, it’s the ‘stuff’ again,” I sighed, “when will these kids ever learn that their ‘trips’ will lead to no good end?”

the teeth are skulls.
the teeth have teeth.
the dental bills… the horror. the horror.

Who cares what’s going on. It obviously involves sexy sex and when it’s 1969 that’s all that’s matters.
Note: best read in a Matt Berry voice.

That blurb makes me want to buy this book and throw it out the window!
I am not sure, but when I look at that cover i hear my mind say “ORGY!” I guess it is mission accomplished for the publisher, lol.

There’s an alternate cover (same artist) that’s just as grotesque:

Good God! Somebody put Mitt Romney’s face back on, quickly!

‘I’m Dan Morgan, and I want my name to be as inconspicuous as possible on this atrocity of a cover!’
December 4th, 2013 at 10:46 pm
I can’t help reading that blurb as: “Yet another science fiction novel of The Sixth Perception.” Those clever publishers really know how to sell books, don’t they?

If you blew the dust off the cover, you would see that the title is actually ‘the VOMIT OF Several Minds”.

Didn’t Fraggle Rock have talking trash heap or something? So, why couldn’t Dan Morgan get one if he wants to?

Is that a smear on the book, or is there snot coming out of one nostril?

This must be the face of an Eldritch Abomination.
There IS no other explanation.

Mmmm. Brain salad, well tossed.

Several minds, a naked green chick, another head, a hand, skull-teeth, and an octopus.
checks date Ah, yes. Don’t eat the brown acid and then paint a cover.
Maybe the artist was of several minds thanks to see above.
Feet are hard to draw, as always. Look at her toes. None of the several minds seems to be a podiatrist.
@TagW: I was going to suggest putting Dan Morgan’s name in the tag list, but OTOH as our dearly-missed DSWBT noted, he probably wanted to disclaim it.

Thanks @fred for the enbiggening link so that I could truly enjoy this fine mess. Great for a GSS version of I Spy.
March 4th, 2023 at 8:34 pm
Ooof… they certainly stuck to a theme and ran with it…
March 4th, 2023 at 11:06 pm
@fred: I embiggened and am sorry for it.

So the New Minds are now of Several Minds? Probably due to all the drugs.
“Terrifying intimations of self-destruction from within.”
Definitely the drugs.
March 5th, 2023 at 5:56 pm
Well, all I can say is that whoever it is seems to be able to draw feet.
March 5th, 2023 at 9:21 pm
@Nomad: Foot. I can’t figure out what’s going on with green chick’s left one.
March 5th, 2023 at 9:37 pm
I can’t even tell where the sheep was – both images look the same to me. And does Chaos Face here have braces?

I must be getting middle-aged: my main thought is ‘that would make a brilliant jigsaw puzzle’.
(Has anyone manufactured puzzles based on old skiffy covers? I bet Bruce Pennington’s kicking himself for not thinking of it.)
