Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 7.69 out of 10)

    I am picking up a very strange ‘butt vibe’ from that face. And I’m pretty sure that no matter what you are, ‘butt vibe’ and face are not two things that should go together. Oh, and having two golden eggs crammed into your eye sockets just looks incredibly uncomfortable.

    What are those round things on the sides of the mouth? And what is the smaller thing below it?

    A moebius strip always comes in handy. I carry one with me everywhere.

    I refuse to mock a cover that has the name Donald E Westlake on the cover.

    Editors shouldn’t edit elsewhere and elsewhen, but HERE AND NOW. Or this is what happens.

    It’s amazing what a little lipstick can do to enhance the features, girls.

    Seems to me there are a bunch of characters from the Kirby series of video games that bear a strong resemblance. Bubble Bobble, too.

    They would have improved both covers if they had switched this artwork with Lady of the Bees.

    For those of you who don’t know, Groff Conklin was one of the greatest editors/anthologists who ever lived. His name on the cover guaranteed good reading on the inside, no matter how bizarre the design.

    That face just reminds me of an alien I saw somewhere, probably on Doctor Who. I still don’t get what’s up with the golden eggs, though. Or the Mobius strip.
