“…to draw him a better sci fi/fantasy book cover!”
@GSS ex-noob: I assumed the line on the left was a microphone cord and the right is the line of some baggy pants? I suppose it could be some sort of blobby chair
I love this cover. I would pull the book off the shelf because of this cover. I would wear this cover on a t-shirt. That the audience is made up of crash test dummies and the singer’s (speaker’s? preacher’s? breakdancer’s?) pose was clearly drawn by someone who’s never bothered to look at how human beings actually move just makes it more attractive to me.
(Note to self, must dig through that 40-year-old file of awful high school art projects that didn’t get thrown out… might be worth something after all!)

Why yes, my child is an angsty teen aspiring cover artist, why do you ask?

The Misfits spoken word tour was pretty gloomy.

Is he (she?) crouching or do they just have very short legs?
I’m also not sure if they’re addressing an audience or just a bunch of very large q-tips.

Why the hell did I let my agent book me for an audience of ant hills?

Cover askew.

@B.Chiclitz – Who askew?

If I had to play to an audience entirely made up of the guy from Eraserhead I’d probably die too.

I have a feeling the quality of the cover reflects the quality of the book.
@Griz: exactly.
@Bruce: I think they’re sitting — is that a chair leg below them?
@Tat: GSS! I was trying to combine those two ideas but was having no luck, but it’s all good, you already did it.

@Bruce: I don’t know, the damn thing is so fuzzy we could both be right. I don’t see a mike, but again… fuzzy.
Maybe the person is kneeling on top of a pair of shoes. Dorf on Insanity!
