Here is the pain of sharp pasted elements on a fuzzy background landscape, then the puzzle of the caption:
“the Pixies and the Sprits”
“the good guys, or the bad guys?”
WadDeeFay indeed!
WikiPedia:
Pixies- US alt rock band;
Sprits- fore-aft main sail rigs.
Those are cosmic elements of good and evil? Ha! No match for Nodens (Lord of the Great Abyss) v. Azathoth (Demon Sultan of Ultimate Chaos).

(Were the Sprits supposed to be Sprites? Or maybe Spirits?)

I first thought ‘peeing in the woods’ was a funny joke, but I realised this is probably an existing brand of erotica.

Yep. It’s called “Erotic humiliation”; for example, tales of getting caught in an embarrassing situation (peeing in the woods with witnesses) or exposed indulging in a taboo obsession (like surfing LBC at work).

“Who will win, the good guys or the bad guys?” Pretty sure that was the tagline of the book I wrote when I was eight.

And: in the battle between two groups – only one group can win. No s**t, Sherlock.

There’s also the “win-win” scenario. The guys on this cover don’t look much like winners, though, whatever group they self-identify with.

PosRein: I like the title font. NOT on this cover, however. It’s wasted on that background.

“In the battle between the Pixies and the Spirits, only one group can win. Will it be the good guys, or the bad guys?”

Is that supposed to be funny? Am I a bad person for thinking that’s funny?

As for who wins… I guess that depends whether it’s the Pixies or the Spirits who pee standing up 😉

Ahem–it’s ‘sprits’, as Naaman has pointed out!

Protip: If you’re going to make up improbable names (e.g. Lukus and Dhay), make sure they’re printed in a 100% easily legible font. Lukiy and Dlroy to the rescue! The first one could even be Lickey.
