   This is one of those covers that is suitable in tone and appropriate for the contents of the story, but outside the bounds of the plot looks good and bonkers. I always thought that it looked like the Alto section of the Green Trio was rebelling against the director’s wishes in terms of tempo.

   The ringer on the finger needs a bigger tinger.

   Doctor Smith put up a good fight before they turned him into a celery.

   If this were a Road Runner cartoon, you’d know exactly what was about to happen out on that precipice.

   The Power That Preserves is… radiation? That’s how the green glow reads to me.

   @Ryan: GSS! She’s not having it.

   @TheBlue: So they’ve already turned Robby into the giant broccoli on the edge?

   @BC: descending whistle, poof

   It’s not easy, being green.

   Is it bad that I get the Impressionist artists confused but can immediately spot a Darrell K. Sweet “WTF is going on here?” fantasy cover? Do his covers belong here? Yes, yes the do. Do they thrill me to bits? Most definitely, yes.

    The Victorian fad for copper-plating recently-deceased children went off the boil after the problems of verdigrised relatives became more widely known.

    @Emster: The Impressionists had a wider range of subjects, and more variety of colors. Also only occasionally WTF.

    “The Power that Preserves”?

    That’s either:

    1) Electricity (gotta power the freezer)
    or
    2) Salt (for pork & beef, if nothing else)

    Neither of which are on the cover. Unless the salts turned everyone except “the Staff Intern” green….

    Hammy brings the power of dad jokes with “the Staff Intern”. Woof.
