Sitting that close to those huge flapping wings, that baby is going to get pneumonia for sure…
…if the wings don’t fling it off the flying horse first!

THE SUNNY SIDE UP KID
THE SCRAMBLED EGGS BOY
THE OMELETTE YOUTH
THE POACHED EGGS MAN

@A.R. Yngve: the blurb writer seems to be playing it coy on the gender identity of the eggchild, so we’re not sure if it’s going to be an Eggman [1] or Eggwoman. (Calling the child “it” does seem a bit rude, unless the Eggchild has already decided on a nonbinary gender identity or is like a snail or something. )
[1] Presumably not the one that fights Sonic.

The horse really missed out on her morning coffee: she seems to have put on the outer row of feathers backwards.

“You’ve made me eat my unborn children!!!”
Big question here is: how does he stay on?

Sword-wielding guy there looks like a South Park celebrity guest.

That guy isn’t stopping anybody in those open toe boots. Maybe he should drive that horse by the mall and get a pedicure first.
Speaking of the horse, is it wearing black latex leggings?

Young King Egbert, of the McMuffin clan.

If ever you needed a babysitter during your 1980’s weekend-getaway-Arizona-vacation-peyote-dream-quest, Kirk Douglas was always the guy to call.

The horse’s ears are laid back, and I can see the whites of her eyes. She is either terrified of the strangely-short sword, or else annoyed by the screams of the Eggchild.

Scoff all you want, but Donald Trump has some mad diaper changing skills. This situation? A minute or less.

Do the Charles Vess illustrations include semolina pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower?

@Tat – Goo Goo G’joob!

Eggstraordinary.
Sorry. I’ll get my coat.

Oh no! Paul just opened Pandora’s Box of Puns…
This thread is going to be scrambled eggsactly from this point.
February 24th, 2020 at 9:54 pm
@Paul&AR omelet you get away with the puns this time.
February 24th, 2020 at 10:49 pm
I’m ashirredly not getting involved in this eggschange.
February 24th, 2020 at 11:42 pm
You people crack me up.

That all looks very unsafe. The Eggchild is going to fall off, the dude can’t possibly hold him/her/it/them as the horse is flapping around. And dude has a very insecure seat, between having no saddle or reins (and both hands full), and the chafing on his thighs is going to be terrible. Add in that the pegasus! is unhappy, as @Ryan said, and it’s all bad.
One more stroke of those oddly-feathered wings, and baby for sure and dude most likely are going to be splats in Monument Valley.
For once, a cover dude has almost the same outfit as a cover damsel. Impractical open boots, not enough leg or arm covering, probably no scabbard.
I think the title was written with egg yolk.
Why a different artist for cover and interior illustrations? I bet the interior ones are better.
@Adzel: GSS. Kirk Douglas could manage to make that outfit look less silly.
@Tat: do what now?
@the punsters: I got nothing, but GSS.

@all: Your puns are eggscruciating. They’ve left me a shell of my former self.
Why “evil child” tag? We know the enchanter wants the baby, but that doesn’t make Eggbow Brite evil itself.
Thought; maybe the guy on the horse isn’t a good guy, but the enchanter. He’s magically protected from falling off or chafing, although not from looking silly.

@Bruce: I was just thinking that magic is literally the only way this transportation is going to work. That or a whole lot of glue.
I believe all kids are de facto defined as “evil children” here. The baby is at least weird and uncanny.

With an expectant smile, Vladimir Putin showed the party committée his design for a re-election campaign poster.
A mortified silence followed, as no one dared to voice his reaction…
