Among the Abzorbaloff’s collection of abdominal faces are, I’m sure, Isaac Asimov, L Ron thingy, Louis Armstrong, Alan Moore and Ozzy Osbourne. All hosted by Ron from Sparks in a funny hat.
Ouch. If we were only looking at the cover art, I would have guessed something by L. Ron Hubbard. Not expecting this to be a Card cover. Nice find, Ozzie.

It’s the little touches like the corner pictures of the flowering weapons that make this cover [not good].

This week’s singalong night involved an invisible piano.

I’m thinking Changed Man is actually Changing Room Man. Take a number!

The Ghost of Christmas Present wants his shtick back.

The wizard went way too far with his expanded ghostly update of Bohemian Rhapsody.
I thought OSC didn’t approve of people changing gender?
(And where are the roving bands Obama was supposed to gin up in the cities to oppress rich White people? All I see is White thug cops oppressing PoC.)
(And why are his books so homoerotic? This man, f’rex, is acting FAB-ulous.)
@FB: I think the flowery corner things are Tarot suits; either way, they suck.
@Bruce: Someone might want the robe back, too. Feels a bit like TNG’s Q outfits.
@Tag: Ooh, a new tag. Does it apply to any previous covers? Can hips of jauntiness get a look-in?

The Changed Man?
Who is this guy, and why does he need someone to change him? Can’t reach his Depends?
Yes, I went *there*….

I think the Ayatollah Khomeni is in there as well.

Angry head on the upper left: GODDAMN it, Bob! If you make another head-based pun, I’m gonna bite your nose off!
Oh come on, Jerry. Don’t lose your head.
AAARGH!

I wonder if they take turns being the head on top? The head wearing the hat is blue and glowey like the rest of them.

@Bruce: I guess that’s how he becomes Changed.
@Tat: Insufficient sideburns for Asimov. But at least one of them is the clown from It.
Head in middle is wearing a Venice Carnival/commedia del’arte mask.

@Emster: It’s not outside the realm of possibility that that IS Elron himself, presiding over some bullshit.

Where In the Changed Man is Carmen Sandiego?
A fun game for the whole family!
