I think i’m officially in shock.  To repay me for my Eternal Cheese birthday card, Chris Smith has designed me a cover for Mere Mortals. 

And here it is.

ETA: NOT WORK SAFE and possibly not sane safe.

In a very odd way, that does tell the story. A very very odd way.  Even the sun shining out of the arse.  Now you are intrigued, eh?

It's the snake-crotch scene that really intrigued me, as well you can tell. And the bit where they visit rainbow-narnia. And the bit where he has that curry and there was a supernova and well... and the butterfly motif where they suddenly all grew wings.

Your novel was the direct inspiration for this.

Oh Dear Lord! Before I...erm...enlarged it, and with my wonky eyes, I though that the big, purplish penis was the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland.

OMG - i didn't even SEE the pruple penis!!!!!! sorry about that - amends post to NOT WORK SAFE...

It is a leg encased in jeans - see the bellybutton to the left. However, I hesitate to speculate what that lizard-looking thing is that's draped over the hips.

It is a snake!!!! Promise.

[leni-jess.livejournal.com]

Glad to know it's nothing more exotic.

[chris-smith-atr.livejournal.com]

It is a leg!!!! Or an arm. Depends which bit you're looking at

I promise. No penii.

No, dude, it's a penis. Whether you intended it or not, it will always be burned into my retinae as a gigantic, rising purple cock. =)

And sun shining out the butt! HEE! It's brilliant!

So, has Chris considered taking a job at the art department at Changeling Press? ;-)

They would stifle my creativity!

I can't actually make out what any of it is. I see a bare chest, a tentacle, a butterfly and a rainbow. I think it looks like a stained glass window.

I've seen worse.

So.. MM is a story about two hippies in 1967, eh?
