She’s wondering if monkey-hides would offer reasonable insulation from the cold.

Let’s get fuzzy-cold.

I’m calling “anatomical issues” on that monkey’s paw.

I’m amazed she hasn’t frozen to death in that tank top, given that she looks like she’s in the Himalayas or something.

Book-store customer: “Excuse me, clerk, do you have ‘Wyrms?’”
Clerk: “I’d rather not say, sir.”

Customer: “I mean ‘Wyrns’ from Tor Books.”
Clerk: “These was from steak tartare, sir.”

It’s, um… less icky than the other cover? (As I pointed out in comments then)
And, lo, IKEA Monkey was foretold! Truly, SF is prophecy.
@Raoul: Is the underdressed girl PMB’s mother, then? Is that more or less disgusting than the bug sex?
Ny matter what the cyver, this byyk is hyrrible.

Is lower-right monkey wearing a light gray, long-sleeved day dress accessorized with a tasteful string of pearls? That would actually make this one much more classy than the vast majority of the covers here. Still, they need to get inside right away, or bundle up more. Looks chilly.

The monkey in the back doesn’t look too good. It seems to be turning blue. Even the cup of coco doesn’t seem to be working.

@drlemaster: I think that monkey is wearing a lightweight knitted sweater with some sort of rib stitch at neckline and cuffs. But it might be a day dress with a knotted lace sort of neckline and cuffs, which would be very classy indeed.
You’re right that they all need to be inside. Lower-right monkey in something lightweight, girl in a tank top and flimsy wrap she can’t keep on her torso, other monkey is turning blue in its sheet as @Anti-Sceptic said.
Ridiculyus.

Note how all three characters are holding their breath in the freezing air…

Well, this WAS published during the peak of America’s love affair with cocaine.
(What, you thought that was snow?)

@ARY: Yrsyn Scytt CyrD wouldn’t have done cocaine — he’s so Myrmyn he wouldn’t consume anything fun. The artist, I can’t answer for.
Presumably the men of Katmandu Vice will be along soon to arrest her.
Miss Tank Top needs to wrap her wrap around her. Or give it to the blue monkey.
