"What's that, ‘How to dress your child as a condom'?

HAHAHHAH! HAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHHAHHA! HHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH!!

yeah, large floating butt... so unappealing

but, having held my mother's hand as she fretted over the cover art for her novel a couple of months ago, sometimes the author's suggestions get lost in translation, and sometimes their requests are completely ignored.

Oh, I well believe it. In last year's contest, I believe at least one author nominated her own book for Worst Cover!

(And I didn't know your mother had written a book -- what is it?)

[cretkid.livejournal.com]

yup... last August it finally came out -- she'd only been writing it since as far back as I can remember! and she's been asked to write another.

Oh my gosh. I think my favorite comment so far is Sela's:
"First impression - what the heck is that sticking up over his dead shoulder? I finally figured it out, but the poor hero appears to have given his all in an attempt to give oral sex. Too bad she smothered him to death in her thigh grip. And why is his hand wrapped around his waist?"

It's the "thigh grip" that gets me. ROFL!

I take it back; my favorite is now this one:
It's a transparent ass. It's a flying ghost butt in the sky. It makes it look like this is the story of a crime-solving rear end. Watch out, evildoers - Butt with a badge!

I think that was where I actually laughed out loud and hoped like hell my officemates thought I was just choking on something.

I started snickering after the first few covers and their comments. By the time I got to the "Butt with a badge", I was gaffawing about every three words.

Those are hysterical.

What are those artists thinking????

I don't know, but it can't have been good.
