Sarah’s Art Direction: So there’s this guy, right? And he’s a lobster. But not really a lobster! Just has a lobster body. Uh, and really skinny arms. And he’s got a parrot for a sidekick, but get this — the parrot is a lobster, too! You getting all of this down, Steve? Ooh, maybe thrown in one of those “Manamanah” things from The Muppets, too. People love those.

Don’s Art Direction: This is a humorous novel about an interstellar diplomat.  He’s suave, he’s debonair, and everything in the book’s played for laughs.  So we want a horrific tentacle-headed, four-eyed, jelly-legged alien leaping at him with a spear.  And we can’t afford the tux rental, so just use whatever your model’s wearing when he comes over from his rehearsal of A CHORUS LINE.  But add some muscles!  Retief is a two-fisted guy, no doubt with mighty thews!  We don’t know what “thews” are, actually, but we’ll know ‘em when we see ‘em and by God he better have ‘em!  THEWS!

So it’s comedy. But it’s not a joke onto the genre. That’s ok right?
Awesome! Thanks the Don!

Jessie Comments: The marks to the left of the floating cat head are my fault – they’re scratches from when i was ripping off the $1 used book price tag.

I think the scratches are the least of this covers problems!
Many thanks to Jessie!
