“How come you got the one with two people kissing and I got the one with a nun with a mustache?”

Is the pistol urinating?

‘So who do you fancy in Friday’s match then, eh?’
‘Well, the Superstate controls men’s minds…but the Underground has a better weapon. I’d give the Superstate 3:2.’
‘Ah…put ten on it?’

“The penis is evil, the gun is good.”

I hope a hippie shows up in a moment and starts scat singing.

Oh my GOD-DOG, the artist can sure DELIVER-REVILED.

“hi, I’m Ellen and this is my sister Nelle, who should really be wearing sun block.”

The Underground controls people’s minds too – that’s why nobody ever starts a conversation with a stranger. And there are those recordings of people from the 1950s saying ‘Mind the Gap’.

I don’t know about secret weapons, but I do see a lot of tit, spelled backwards of course.
April 27th, 2017 at 1:40 pm
Oh wait, now I get it—the secret weapon must be a monocle.

It’s also an anagram of I, vile Elvis. Which makes just as much sense.
April 27th, 2017 at 2:30 pm
Ah, 1970. The dreams of the sixties were receding and all we had left was silly psychedelia like this.

If that is an eye patch then we gots ourselves a pirate nuns situation.
April 27th, 2017 at 5:02 pm
Pirate nuns, and male nuns. The guy with the moustache is also wearing a nun’s wimple. I wonder if they’re supposed to be evil or something. *shrug*
There’s something seriously wrong with those women’s hands, by the way. And their torsos, even though you can’t see them. Look closely. Are we sure those aren’t badly-made mannequins?

Slow learner that I am, it just occurred to me to ask how you all have been pronouncing this title in your heads all day. Has it been “live” as in “Live From New York it’s Saturday Night!” or “live” as in “Live and let live.”
So, is “evil” “live” spelled backwards, or “live” spelled backwards?
I ask.
April 27th, 2017 at 9:14 pm
@BC – I would say that “evil” is an adjective so I would go with the adjectival “live” as in “Live from NY …”
April 27th, 2017 at 9:40 pm
Everybody, this is just a simple Rorschach. I’m not sure exactly what you all are seeing, but it’s just a projection of your subconscious.
I see a butterfly.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:15 pm
I see a cloud of weird-smelling smoke emanating from the windows of the publisher’s office… if you know what I mean and I think you do.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:40 pm
@BC: I’ve been pronouncing it ‘butterfly’. 😉
April 28th, 2017 at 2:02 am
@Anna T: RIP Marmalade Atkins.

Yes, that is definitely Sean Connery in the left circle.
Now, does this mean that evil is pre-recorded or dead? Or merely dyslexic? And where’s the dog/god? Underground/superstate, respectively?
And what do the pirate and male nun have to do with anything?
This cover is so confusing that I suspect they must have put the boobs on just so people could claim to have a reason for staring at it other than sheer confusion.

The “nuns” look like Andrei Tarkovsky (director of Solaris & Stalker among others) and Cyndi “True colors” Lauper.
April 28th, 2017 at 1:56 pm
@DeadSWBT, B’Mancer—my thanks for grammatical and linguistic analysis. “Evil” could equally be a noun. I think I’ll go with the butterfly, and the weird smoke.
April 28th, 2017 at 7:11 pm
@BC – “Evil” could be a noun but I am hard pressed to make a noun out of “live”.
April 29th, 2017 at 2:18 am
Now we just need to identify the blonde that Connery’s smooching in the left scene (Ursula Andress?) and we’ve got ’em all.
I would like to see Tartakovsky and Lauper in a buddy comedy. With some wacky explanation as to why Cyndi has glasses with one lens blacked out.

Riswohsdoog is Goodshowsir spelled backwards. You grok, man?

Connery and Tippi Hedren from Marnie.

@fred: By Jove, you’ve got it.
So, after all these years, we’ve Sean/Tippi on the left and Tartakovsky/Lauper on the right.
No idea WHY they’re being carried by two sheep-worthy redheads, where the gun barrel is from, or whether “live” is a verb or a noun, or what the blurb means, but almost 7 years’ worth of one question is answered.
I suspect the whole thing is due to Offutt writing porn by the truckload.
