I like beetle-man laying down moves in the foreground.

And these are the results of a carnival funhouse mirror addiction.

Incidentally, does this mark the point in history when people started making up the word “inventiveness” instead of saying “invention”?

Hard to find decent clothes in the men’s big and tall shop.

“Excuse me, I was looking for Mozart’s ‘Dies Irae’ and found this. Could you please explain to me why the tree-person is holding an axe? Wouldn’t that constitute a heinous crime against his kind? And why are there dancing beetles?”

Lewis Carroll’s first version of Tweedledum and Tweedledee?

Since Dick had a nose-flute playing rat in Dr. Bloodmoney (sadly not on the cover) the dancing beetles probably show up in the story.

The boogie-beetle’s stance is exactly the same as the white-haired witch in yesterday’s cover. Will Bigfoot be on tomorrow’s?

Hmm, they look like the only two known survivors of Vlad the Impaler’s notorious torture.

@Francis Boyle—yeah, not to mention planet George Grosz.
