If only unknown blurb guy had been around in the Sixteenth Century. Because “The Danish prince’s mission was to find and kill the usurper” would have sold Hamlet.

Please, leave the ball pit, the children are getting upset.

Curses! THX beat me to the obvious pun.

Please kill Carrot Top first.

You know what would have made this cover better? A sword swallower.

@JP – The sword swallower is there.
He’s just below the balls.

The space spy’s space mission was to space find and space kill the space peace space makers.
There. Better.

Have they been swallowed? Because the environment looks a bit throatish.

@THX & ARY – I think Tweet Jane beat you both to the punch(line).

@Raoul: Nope, think I got in first, I mean, I don’t wanna fight at Christmas, but I will say my mission, generally, is to find and kill the peacemakers, by complete coincidence.

Technically speaking, THX is right. He posted the coveted ball pit joke first. But I wrote it last week on TweetDeck and scheduled it to run this afternoon to get clicks from the lucrative American audience.
And I’ll spacekill anyone who attempts to be a peacemaker in this comedy dispute.

Judging by his facial expression, someone below the ball line is clearly swallowing Carrot Top’s sword as we speak. Not so for Grey Face on the other side of the cover.

@Tweet Jane: Thankyou for being so gracious. And violent. It’s the only language we understand. Apart from Bocce.

Tip-toe through the enor-mous tulips with me…
You can tell who’s the protagonist by his halo and fungus vest.

A technical explanation of the title font, Montgomery Pousse Café. Wait….what?

Save your money. There’s nothing worth winning in the claw machine.

@Tor: I also thought “Have they been swallowed?” It has a rather chyme-like liquid at the top, and possibly some intestinal villi as the ball pit. The person at back right seems to have been there the longest.
I’m fascinated that there are absolutely no swords to be seen.
Was Carrot Top frightened/inspired by this cover as a youngster? And/Or did Mr. Walotsky have it in for Ronald McD?
@fred: Wait what indeed. I found an even more… appropriate? link on that page.

No delightful boozy layers here… but possibly consumed when the font was named.
(thank you, thankyaverrmuch)

But seriously, why is the cover populated by rejects from a Gerry Anderson puppet show? And where is that sword??

And this is why you NEVER try and mix the “baking soda and vinegar” trick with the “Mentos and diet coke” trick!

Blurb, simplified:
“He had to kill some nice people.”
