I guess I’m wondering just how big ‘full size’ has to be, because I have no idea what I’m looking at. Spaceships and eyes and Indian blankets? Nipples and circuitry and egg-shaped planets? Moonstubble and spiderchins?

This is a hopeless mishmash at any magnification. I like the splash of teal in the corner though. That really makes things pop!

Maybe it’s what happens if you stare at old Sylvania TV sets for too long.

I thought I saw the word anus and got very, very scared.
Because I really, really didn’t know what that round thing in the middle was supposed to be.

Ditto, me neither.

And to repeat what everyone else has said: no, it’s pretty mish-mashy at ANY magnification or size.

Hey, do we have annual awards here? e.g., “Worst (or best?) of 2015,” type awards? Best/Worst Fiction? Non-Fiction? Dino Porn? Etc.? And if not, CAN WE? And can you make a category just for me, pls, pls, pls? WORST FONT Abuse?

Could we?

Great idea! Except that Ebony fears that everyone but me will be cosplayering as this cover.

I am going to cosplay as a badly background removed wolf’s head and torso howling to an aspect ratio distorted moon.

Is that metal bit supposed to be a turbine of sorts? Hell I cant even make out the title on this, what a blurred mess. That blob in the lower right,I think that is supposed to be the earth.

Does it say ‘Homo Syi.vanus?’ It doesn’t say that, does it? And is that a spaceship in the bottom left, or a robot bird’s face?

Yup. A spaceship that appears to have just left the space station in that eye beause, you know, if one god has a mote, the next needs a space station. Gods and their petty rivalries, pathetic.
