His shirt is the clothing equivalent of a mullet. Business on left, party on the right. Or is it business on the right and party on the left?

With his song, his larceny, and his time machine, there may be no way he can lose, but we certainly all have.

Hey! I submitted this a few years ago and it never got picked 🙁

What is oozing from the bottom of the book?

@JuanPaul: I think it’s this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOXabVLsb3Q

@tat the children of today are going to think that everybody, in the 80s, played the saxophone.

Out of all the garish Eightiesness on this cover, I think the bizarre artwork on the van annoys me the most. What is that even supposed to be?

@Doug – GSS Admin can be a real dick. Welcome to my world! 🙂

@ Anna Looks to me like Angel’s wings.

@JuanPaul – That’s the plastic foot of one of those stands displaying the book behind it. I propped the paperback against it for the shot.
March 27th, 2018 at 7:02 pm
@Biblio: Thank God. I thought the cover had gotten too excited over how ’80s it was.
March 27th, 2018 at 8:27 pm
@JuanPaul – you mean you didn’t?

Girl in pink: “I like to touch myself like this….”
Girl in yellow: “Try underhand instead…you’ll get more support.”
Guy in green: “What is that red gas Blond Guy over there is emitting?”
Blond Guy: “No one’s going to notice my fart if I play real loud.”

He is a thief with a time machine and you ask how he could lose. Well, by choosing to go to the ’80s. What is he going to steal — cocaine, Casio keyboards and VHS tapes?
March 27th, 2018 at 11:14 pm
This is… special.
“How could he lose?” By sticking with the 80’s? I mean, I had a good time in the 80s but that was more to do with my age. I’m with @Tor — what’s he going to steal that’s worth anything? I suppose if he’s really, really into cocaine, pastel, and hair mousse he’d be happy (I still have a Casio keyboard and VHS tapes).
Why are the background people wearing all one color? It should be a mixture of those, maybe with some Bedazzling (TM) work. Too tough for the artist?
Like @JuanPaul said, his shirt is ridiculous. Half T, half Seinfeld puffy shirt.
The keyboard is ridiculous and impossible, but considering his malformed hands, I guess it doesn’t matter. Seriously, does his right index finger have four joints?
Why does the van have angel wings painted on it, and so awkwardly?
What the heck is the rock formation behind everyone? Why are they there?
Peak 80s.

Regarding a running gag here on GSS, about how Publisher’s Weakly kept saying “Buffy fans will find a lot to like” on one fantasy series…
I just came across an advert for “Aunty Lee’s Delights”, and the blurb says, and I quote:
“Fans of Alexander McCall Smith’s No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly).
PW: complete hacks with limited vocabulary!

@LAwesome–well maybe I did. But I only tried it once and I didn’t inhale. Maybe I exhaled, but only a little!
March 28th, 2018 at 4:24 am
@fred: Wait. Maybe the van decor is seagull wings. Would explain why the band ran so far away.
March 28th, 2018 at 11:23 am
Of course he can lose. He’s too stupid to realise he should be buying Apple shares instead of futzing about with petty theft. (And that’s another crap cover I’ve carefully avoided talking about.)
March 28th, 2018 at 5:54 pm
@Ray P: Okay, that’s fair, but why are they disembodied? Did the van’s owner ambush an angel and chop them off?
March 29th, 2018 at 7:42 am
@Francis: Now, now, he’s a thief. He should be stealing money and/or items to sell for money to buy Apple shares. Instead of the minivan with the puzzling wings.
March 29th, 2018 at 8:15 am
Wait… I’ve got it… the minivan, the naff hair and outfits — blondie’s telling the others “get yer ass in gear and we’ll trow back some keggers and boilo at the ‘DC or hit the weed like a champ.”

Couple at left: “Who is this guy?”
Girl in pink jumpsuit: “I dunno. I just turned around and poof! he was there.”

I wonder what Texas Triumphant is about.
April 3rd, 2018 at 11:34 am
It’s a misprint, it should be “Texas Trumpet”, a book about jazz.
