This session of Covers Gone Wild is a sort of drive-by snarking. Instead of going on (and on and ON) about a single cover, we’re going to take on five different covers and snipe briefly at them, Snarkywood-style. We hope you enjoy stunning the artwork. And we do mean stunning. No, seriously: the only way you could feel more stunned would be if somebody bapped your head repeatedly with a marble bust of Liberace. Wearing an Indian headdress.
Proud Eagle
Sarah: Excuse me, Mr. Eagle, what exactly do you have to be proud of, there? Your interestingly-placed bow, shooting up from your crotch there? Does that, perhaps, symbolize something?
It sure can’t stand for your hunting abilities. I mean, the bird you’re aiming at is BEHIND YOU, dumbass.
Candy: I was under the impression that most Indians don’t suffer from the same kind of pallor the average Oregonian does from being deprived of sun for 6 months out of the year. I’ve seen fishbellies with healthier skin tone. I mean, this guy would qualify as Oscar Wilde-grade “interestingly pale.” Maybe he’s recovering from a bout of fever? That would explain why he’s aiming in the wrong direction.
Savage Hero
Sarah: He’s not savage. He’s mentally disabled. Look: Flaccid bow and arrow shot - no firm erect bowstring for him! Also, if he’s Native American, so am I. How much more anglo can a dude look? He’s like a wanna-be beta male wishing he were a Savage Hero. Picture him at the Halloween party: “No, NO I’m a SAVAGE HERO I tell you!”
Candy: I know Bronson Pinchot’s career has pretty much tanked since Perfect Strangers was cancelled, but really, did he have to resort to Indian drag to put food on his table? Because here I submit to you: Separated at birth, Savage Hero guy and Balki Bartokomous.
Savage Devotion
Sarah: Savage Devotion?
My ass. Savage hairdryer maybe.
Candy: Does Charlie Sheen have a younger brother with a serious waxing fetish? Again, I submit for your perusal:
Savage Fires
Sarah: Darling, get UP! THE TEE PEE IS ON FIRE! We need to get out of here! But wait, I am transfixed by your giant chin, and I cannot move! it is making me weak!
Candy: “IT BURNS WHEN I PEEEEEEE!”
“That’s because your dick is on fire, dumbass.”
When Passion Calls
Sarah: Ha. When People Fall, is more like it. Or, when nature calls - “here, pee right here you half-conscious woman!”
Also, why does he not have a neck? And his face looks like a forensic composite head.
Candy: Reasons why this cover creeps me out:
These are case in points where the covers match the interiors of the books - stupid and ridiculous. But your comments on them are funny and dead-on.
I showed one of these to my brother-in-law who is a full-blood Mohawk. His remark was “Who’s the white dude wannabe?” :)
HAHAHAHA White dude wannabe! Oh my gosh that’s funny.
Every time I read that last title, I read it as ‘When Passion Fails’. And looking at the two of them on the cover, I think, no wonder.
BTW, has he got some tentacled alien buried underneath the skin on his back?
yeah, Bron’s right. I can’t believe you missed that back, SBs. That is the scariest picture in this blog and that’s saying something.
You are so right - I didn’t notice it until after we’d put it up. To my mind it kind of looks like the slightly-obvious naked women hidden in the drawings of the camel on packs of Camel cigarettes. But yeesh. No neck AND an alien? Poor dude needs some passion. Or he needs to put that girl down and get some medical treatment.
Goddamn, I can’t believe we missed it! Bron’s right: dude looks like he has a goddamn face-hugger buried in his back. GROSS. Maybe that’s why he’s tilting her at that bizarre angle? It’s time for to be laying eggs down her gullet?
Great snark, guys. I definitely have to agree with the ban on fringed bucksin pants.
The only problem with this entry was that after seeing those pictures, I’ve now been put off my breakfast. :)
My half sister who is part Cheyenne read these books. Edwards is her favorite author. Go figure.
Oh, Emdee, can you tell us why? We can’t find a redeeming thing about any part of the Edwards oeuvre. Insight needed!
