The Adventures of Kimball McRyan Vol. 2: Times are the Hardest
There are parts of my brain that scream every time I look at this.
The Adventures of Kimball McRyan Vol. 2: Times are the Hardest
There are parts of my brain that scream every time I look at this.
Um, wow, this is a real book. At first I thought that Nathan was just messing with us on April 1st…
Honestly, how could I?
I thought long division was the hardest?
Square roots are the hardest of all.
What is the giant jewelly streak/stream of puke?
A missile? A missile of puke.
A volcanic eruption? A glowing radioactive slug? A 1960s flashback?
…the way the inside of my brain looks, when I am squinting at the bizarro-world oddities that appear on LBC, trying to figure out WTH they ARE, much less what they represent?
I have decided that deciphering LBC covers is, in a way, reminiscent of childhood. You all remember lying on your backs, staring up at the sky, watching clouds float by, and pointing them out to your buddies, saying, “Hey, that one looks like that little guy on the tricycle on Laugh-In!” (or your own pop-culture and cultural references).
Well, now we can do that with these covers. I stared at this one for so long (having that…WT[bleep] is that?” experience) that I actually started to think that the purply blob in the upper-left-hand corner was some type of magical horse.
But…it’s not. It’s just a bloody purple blob. The golden puke pile is just..I don’t know. Tortured Treasure? The gem-encrusted tears of Kimball BeCryin? Sheeeeeeeeeeeit, I’d be cryin’ too, if that was my damn cover.
It took a lot of work to make this cover so awful.
It’s like they spent hours coloring their intricate, ‘modern art’ background and then ran out of paint and patience.
“With a background that pretty, who needs to color in the boat?”
As for the font choices, well I wish they were half that size and fully transparent too. They are that bad.
“Kimball Mcryan” sounds to my brain like “Holden Mcgroin”.
And the color on the ship is leaking off into the ocean.
The ship has sailed into the Sea of Bleach.
I’d be McRyan too after spending time on this cover and ending up with this.
