And the typography isn’t godawful, in and of itself–but as is so often the case, it’s an afterthought. The “oh, damn, I have this great (good) piece of art, and I forgot, I need a place to put the title and byline!” issue.
And if the man and the rat are (presumably) central to this story, why the hell are they so small? urghghghghghg.
Something about a legend maybe? It’s unclear.
How much you wanna bet that Chip is the squirrel?
Sometimes, some crimes
Go slipping through the cracks…
Looking at that tail, I think it’s a rat.
The cover starts out all right at the top and then the more you scroll down, the worse it gets. Poor Chip. He probably deserves better than that.
Looking at it zoomed, Julie, I think you’re right. Rat, not Rocky. 🙂
Nathan: “Legend of Chip”‘s title doesn’t show up in the sidebar, FYI.
Fixed.
Thank you, snookums.
The art is really kind of nice…but whatever good qualities it might have had were shot down by the inept typography.
