Buried by Buttercups

Were there any design decisions correctly made on this? I can’t find ’em. (h/t L.)

Well, at least the picture is in focus.

I hope Buttercups does a better job burying the next body.

It’s those weird, warped steps that make it unbearable. If they got rid of them, the cover would be merely moderately inept.

Nope, ‘cuz I gotta ask: Is her name Peggy Lee Garden? is it Peggy Lee solving murders IN the Garden? Why is Peggy Lee’s name slapped on that rugged old gravestone (wrong all by itself, as it would be worn smooth, not ragged) with surgical tape? Why are there no moonshadows? (Where’s Cat Stevens, whatever his name is now, when you need him?)

Ah, see…the cover has served its purpose. I’m all full of questions. Not the right kind, mind you, but, still….

So it’s full moon at midnight on one side of the fence, and high noon on the side with the buttercups and the steps on level ground.

Chuck Tingle would have a field day with the kerning of “Buttercups”.

There are also steps beneath the buttercups.

Posting “Chuck Tingle” is almost like saying “Frau Blucher.”

You know, I think that was actually the first movie I ever saw in a theater. I must have been about three.

Yes, but it was under its original title *Young Frankenstein*. I don’t know why they changed it.

+6 points for making me LOL.

But . . . Shouldn’t that be the Millionaire Gay Proportional Font.

Very observant! I had to go out to the backyard just now and verify — buttercups do have five petals. Sooo — four petal buttercups? Murderous radiation mutants? An invasive species from outer space? This just deepens the mystery!

I’m wondering why mice need steps in the graveyard. Oh, to reach the butter (cups)!
