There are covers that fail to understand what it means to be a book cover.
And then there are covers that just make you cringe.
Note to “the white woman”: that Pocahontas costume you bought from Spirit Halloween is fine for the office party, but if you actually want to convince people you’ve been adopted into a native tribe, you’re going to need something better.

…And they’ll never hear your voice cry:
“Will the end come soon?”
When I dish out the payback for your sins!
I am especially…touched…by the dyed blond locks in his ‘do. I am absolutely, positively certain that I saw hair just like that, in early tintypes and daguerreotypes of Geronimo and some others, from the period. Abso-lutely-certain. Couldn’t remotely be possibly wrong ’bout that. Hm….maybe it was that famous one of Sitting Bull? With the flowy blond hair?
(And don’t get me started about the faux buckskin “jeans” she’s wearing, for crying out loud.)

This cover got me to thinking… Why is there a song about Betty Davis’s eyes, but there isn’t one about Rodney Dangerfield’s knees?
I dunno, how come his man-boobs are allowed, but petite ladies’ girlie versions are not? I mean, LOOK. Once you see ’em, you can’t unsee ’em. Trust me…
It was a 1950s thing. I remember those ant fam ads, along with Instant Life Sea Monkeys and the Charles Atlas bodybuilding ads. They were in all the comic books.
Now, in a lousy book cover near you!

The worst part is the fact she’s wearing a scalp from a blonde women like a coonskin cap.
And what in the holy hell is a Bes Tseffing au Thor?
There are covers that are nauseatingly bad.

I’m still confused about the best selling ant farm.

Presumably, a book published by tsars and Thor?
