You know…you gotta give this one points for just sheer…wacky meets bravado. For all we know, this is a send-up (as hinted at by the artwork), I hope. Devoutly. (ha! See what I did there?).
OK, so: taking bets here: who is the Harrison-Ford/Indiana-Jones-cum-Jesuit (?)-priest here? I mean, whose face is that? It’s bugging me, I can’t quite put my finger on it. Some actor, somewhere. I initially thought about Robert Forster, but that’s not it. Not really even close. Ideas?
Reminds me of the guy on the left in this TV commercial, whoever that is. (Time-Warner commercial “Lie Detector”, couldn’t find a video or a better picture).
Well, “parody” is in the eyes (and mind) of the reader. Not the author!
This is definitely parody. Made even more delicious by the author’s goofball paranoid mindset. 🙂

He should have gone for the complete set and put the British royal family and the Masons somewhere. I see some excessive blank space in the area around Ike.
I really admire the UFO-cum-ceiling-fan/light doodah, though. That’s pretty groovy. I have a 5-y.o. boy relative that would think that’s the cat’s pajamas…
@red: no…I just can’t pull it from the brainpan. We’ve all seen him, but I just can’t figure out who the hell that is.
@Ericb: LOL!

Don’t stand too close to that ‘F’, Mr. alien – it’ll have your eye out…

Bottom – Ike
Top right – Ed Wynn
Top Left – George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (according to recent news stories)
The alien has a Godfather aura.
Orson Wells before he got fat?
Sweet baby Jesus, this book has a trailer, and it is as good as the cover!
