He pissed me off, too, which is why I submitted so many of his covers to LBC.

Well played. I’ve done the same. 😉

The pink and black ’50s color scheme must mean there’s a special guest appearance by Arthur Fontsarsmelly.

Maybe I’m being dumb here… so this was ‘formerly’ a novel by Brad Pratt called ‘Tickle Me Pink’ but then he… sold it? Said to Robert C Waggoner “tell you what, you pass this book off as yours as long as you use a different title” and Robert said “Cool! thanks dude! Lemme see… ‘Tickle Me Pink? Nah, that’s WAY too evocative, I’m gonna change it to ‘Where R You’ – ‘cos that’s PROFOUND, baby!”

*head explodes*

No, no. You guys misunderstand. When Where R You puts on its pink evening font and precious gems, it is then formally dressed as Tickle Me Pink.

My impression, too.
Formally (checking the hair, smoothing the clothes) known as “Tickle Me Pink”.
Casually (putting up the feet, popping the tab on a beer) known as “Where R You”.

Awesome explanation.

I always love the books that boast that they are “A [fill in the blank] Novel,” as though people are waiting in line for them.

Tickle Me Blue?

Or less formally, ‘WTF?’ to his friends.

“Formally”?

Bwahahaha…

Not only does this guy need a cover artist, he needs a dictionary, too. And a thesaurus. And a spell checker.
