The difference in scale makes this look seriously creepy…
Definitely not a cover I’d want to be seen with in public. Or have in my house. Or knowingly reside in the same town with.

I wonder if he is another assassin type like Sos the Rope but uses… a stick!
One of the great hired killers like:
John the Cyanide & Keith the Evelvator Shaft

He’s got 2 sticks so he really should be known as Var the Sticks. He probably set fire to the temple in the background by rubbing them together. Also wassup with the right foot of Miss February.

Is that supposed to be a pond behind him? Looks like a ground-level trampoline.
If I were Patrick Woodroffe, I would have let the “unknown artist” take credit for this one.

Var, seriously, pull the tunic down a few inches.

@Bibliomancer—I think it’s a putting green, but I wouldn’t lay any money on him given the golf club he’s using.

@B.Chiclitz – In that case she might be the lady golfer. And Var would be the caddy.

Sos the Rope, Var the Stick, and on the back cover…Impale the Parietal.

Soon to be Var the Sticky.

@THX 1138 – Var the Stink

It looks like Var the Pogo Stick.

VAR THE F***??

Person the Object.

Billy the Fish
Mac the Knife
Jimmy the Hoover (woh-oh-ee-yeh-yeh)
Dave the Cardboard Box
Jones the Steam
(Actually, that last one’s probably the clue: Var the Stick is about the thirtieth ‘Var’ to have been born in his village of unimaginative namers that year so any distinguishing feature of profession is handy for disambiguation purposes, like in cliched Welsh pit-villages).
Or maybe he is just famous for not driving an automatic.

@Tom Noir: More like Three-letter-syllable the Object.

‘Tom the Noir’ sounds rather boss…

So, Var the Stick, Sos the Rope, and Sol the ???.
Thinking “Ball”, that way:
Var: “Stick!”
Sos: “Rope!”
Sol: “Ball!”

This cover just screams “Old-Time Monster Movie Poster With Damsel in Distress in the Monster’s Arms”.
Creepy either way.

15.) “Or maybe he is just famous for not driving an automatic.”
Var the Stick might be related to Threeon the Tree.

Can we get a retroactive “anatomical issues” tag?

Var the stick? Why, thar the stick.
