Twenty Twenty Two Blew. Twenty three skidoo!
Here at Good Show Sir we outdid ourselves in selfishly serving our customer base. Which remains nonexistent. Which is why we pioneered the introduction of random bank holidays not officially recognized by our stodgy government. A special tip of the hat to our field correspondent Ryan who apparently tours the ghost towns of the American Southwest where the last remaining paperback shoppes are preserved by the dry climate.
On to the honorees. The highest-rated cover of 2022, congrats to Max Bathroom, is:

A princely boy sits on some ruined steps while a dragon leans downwards in a yawn of sorts. Standing next to them, a white bearded wizard in his long purple robes who is motioning to the sky with other dragons flying gracefully in the sky. No stereotypes here whatsoever … none … zip … nadda … zero… null … uhhh *coughs*

After significant advances in science we have discovered that there is one thing Dragons like more than breathing fire, eating ferrets or even gobbling down a sacrificial virgin women. They just can’t help but go after all the I’s in a word. So have them fighting for the I in Chris and make sure they have various appealing colours!
Thanks to JustinLeego!
