Ryan Comments: For once Baen managed to leave the orange crayon in the box for the cover illustration, and yet I still cannot, in good taste, make the first comments that pop into my head when seeing it.

In this situation, black on black crime refers to a Baen cover.

If I encountered a giant black Garfield plush toy I’d probably lose my sanity too.

I begin to see why the planned sequel to Lloyd-Webber’s musical “Cats” has never been staged.

Seeing the author’s name brought the J.G. Wentworth commercial jingle into my brain…
“Call (K.D.) Wentworth, 877-CASH-NOW…”

What can I do?
Cos I-I-I-I-I, I feel blue.

When the boobs hit-a your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s a-Baen…
Goddamn groupies, thought the werewolf. Used to be just the vampires which had to deal with this.

I think the title on the right explains where that strange sound on this cover is emanating from.

Arooooooooooooooooooo!
[That’s all I got for this one]

@NomadUK Do y’all have Squatty Potty in the UK?

@Ryan: None of us can make the first comment in good taste, but then “good taste” and “BAEN!*comment deleted* have never been put in the same sentence save ironically.
o_O This is just fundamentally (har har) awkward and off-putting.
I guess we know why she’s howling – in pain.
@Fred: Looks like someone wised up between this one and the sequel. Although I’m surprised there was a sequel after this cover.

Don’t you hate it when a human gets all comfy on your back and you feel guilty if you move?

@B. Chiclitz: GSS.

@GSSxn – But fortunately THX lacked that good taste and got the first comment down.and dirty.

I do like to live down to expectations.

@Nomad: and in public facilities, there’s always the sticker on the wall of the cartoon person doing just that with the circle-with-slash-through. I have heard the explanation of why these are necessary provoke both “ew gross!” and rafts of giggles from native-born White English-speaking kids.
Perhaps wolfie’s eyebrows indicate he’s wishing his head had one of those stickers on.
@JP: You will be unsurprised to know GOOP sells a SP ripoff for $2-300 out of some fancy wood, because that woman is obsessed with the undercarriage bits worse than most specialist doctors in that area.
