Not since Tolkien’s Middle Earth has a biological washing powder been so brilliantly realised…

Pictured: the man who outran the lion despite having ridiculously stubby legs.
Not pictured: the same man ten seconds later after being taken by a giant eagle.

Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Someone has your trousers
Oh where did they go?

Not only could the author not imagine clothing, apparently he also missed out on landscape, creatures, architecture, sky-scapes. WHAT EXACTLY DID THE AUTHOR IMAGINE???

Radix movie Boromir was right. Even nude, one can simply walk into Radix movie Mordor.

I didn’t realize the Unknown Artist Institute offered a double major in Dimples of Venus and TEXTURE.

I bet you they’re about to try cliff diving and are going to seriously regret it.

@ Francis Boyle—The contract drawn up by Corgi stipulates that all characters depicted on a Corgi cover must have disproportionately stubby legs and large heads, so that they evoke the silly proportions of the Corgi dog itself.

Euro cover. I don’t know why it went from a hunkbutt landscape to WTF.

@Bibliomancer – Douglas Adams is first in my book.

Being in his nuddy. round or skinny bottoms and yellow socks were some of Ian Dury’s ‘Reasons to be Cheerful’ so maybe there are other covers depicting Hammersmith Palais, Bonar Colleano, Wee Willie Harris and a Vincent motorsickle.
@Bibliomancer, Raoul: Ben Aaronovitch for the win.

@Juan Paul – no freebies: you have to buy the book to experience the author’s imagination.
For some reason I’m imagining him wearing crocs rather than socks. Better suited for traversing desert landscapes while maintaining a low standard of taste.

I’m gonna have to give the blurb the ol’ side-eye. Grammatically correct, but I think not factually.
Despite the author’s world of imagination, apparently the artist didn’t have any.
@BC: But at least Corgis are cute and fun to look at. Her Maj wouldn’t be caught dead with this anywhere near her. The former First Dog of California was also a Corgi, who helped raise education funding.
@Bruce: I think the stubby-legged man is wearing those foot-glove shoes that look even ickier than Crocs.

@GSSxn—Good points. I should have mentioned that the actual Corgi dog, while proportioned oddly, is indeed very cute. It’s an open question whether the Royal affinity for the Corgi adds to their cuteness, or their silliness.

The First Dog was quite popular, and good for Gov. Brown’s image in his last term. His Twitter was avidly followed. (Sutter Brown)
His cuteness was so overwhelming that it was credited for getting people to vote for higher taxes to support the schools. That’s powerful cute.
The Capitol went into mourning when he died. He was bipartisan.

Editor: “I read that nudity sells.”
Artist: “And?”
Editor: “Paint the protagonist nude. A real good butt shot.”
Artist: “Are you sure about this…”
Editor: “I SAID PAINT A NUDE COVER!! Are you deaf?”
Artist: “Okay, okay, keep your pants on…”
