Evidently, this Kenneth Mattern guy just isn’t much into clarity.

Is that a watermark, in the middle of that boot print? Or is that meant to be another face, like the watermelon face?

Anybody?

Yabbut, Nathan, mon sweetie, I even zoomed that image, like a regular person (so, in a browser, not in Photoshop or GIMP or whatever) and I can’t see the cursed thing at all.

That’s why I asked–for a change, I wasn’t being a wiseass. I can’t see it.

I liked the one in the Watermelon, in fact (thought the typography totally wrecked the cover), but this is wasted and probably makes people think he ripped off the cover designer.

‘Cuz, brothers and sisters, that thar mark looks just like a watermark. A skull? Not even a liddle bit.

Oh, god, I see it NOW!! I kept seeing only that darker smudge inside the boot impression. I didn’t catch or see the rest of the skull…whatever, image or tattoo or ?, outside of the boot print. NOW I see it, but…

I’m stickin’ with what I said. Bad, bad, bad. Needs redoing, especially b/c the Watermelon one is pretty good (and would be really nice if the typography were redone).

Oh Lord, it is one of those eye tests. And now that I’ve seen it, I can’t unsee it, and the optometrist is going to tell me I need stronger glasses.
