Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning!

    Worst case of dry-eye ever.

    When the spice
    Gets in your eyes

    And they drown in sand
    Please make it end

    That’s oh-god-no-more-ayyyyy….

    Eyeballs, I got. Worms, we don’t got.

    Oy vey!

    It’s a book named “Dune” and they didn’t put any dunes on the cover? Or sandworms? Was this supposed to be the cover of a book called “Eyes?”

    @fred: GSS!

    @Dave: The next book has, coming over the horizon, a Visine bottle the size of an Imperial Destroyer. (It’s piloted by the Dune Messiah, y’see, the savior against dry eyes)

    @GSSxN: surely you mean…. Dune Mess- eye- ah!

    @JJYoyo: GSS!

  11. JJYoyo Says:

    @GSSxN : thank you !

    Picture yourself in the middle of nowhere
    With flat desert vistas and the bluest of skies
    Somebody hears you
    Turns out they’re Israeli
    They heard you say bluest of eyes

    Lucy in Montana with eyeballs
    Lucy in Montana with eyeballs
    Ahhhhhh

  12. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @JJYoyo: Looks farther south than Montana.

    But I can’t fit Utah, Arizona, or New Mexico in there. Maybe somewhere in Israel?

    Got it!

    AAAAAAAAAA!

  13. JJYoyo Says:

    @GSSxN: quite right, Montana won’t do. I like your idea but how about:
    Lucy in the Negev, with eyeballs!

  14. Tracy Says:

    Not only that, they get the eyes wrong. They’re supposed to be all blue, even the sclera.

  15. GSS ex-noob Says:

    @JJYoyo: By Shai-Hulud, I think we’ve got it!

    Publisher to artist: Uhrm, did you even bother to read the book?
    Artist: Eye did not.
    Publisher: Eye can tell.
