Welcome back to Cover Snark!
Elyse: I have zero idea what the title of this book means.
Also his necklace looks like a giant paper clip.
Sarah: Clippy was alive…until Bax.
Elyse: Whoa that’s dark. Wearing the body of Clippy.
Sarah: There was help with this document…until Bax.
Elyse: In his defense, Word is the worst and the fact that it continues to be the standard is baffling.
Sarah: Entirely. WordPerfect or GTFO.
Sneezy: Is he embarrassed by whatever’s on his chest or that his stomach is empty?
From Kareni: I have a possibility for a future Cover Snark post – Lice check????
Sarah: Thanks, I hate it. Now my head is itchy.
Sneezy: Would have been a great excuse to whip out those Viking combs, just saying.
Elyse: Everyone on this cover finds shoulders erotic.
From Alanna: I came across this during Stuff Your Kindle day and I… am so confused by his torso.
Sarah: His abdomen is a face, and this is the face I see:
Elyse: Dying
Sneezy: Only Kermit is loveable. And didn’t look like he’s going to die by alien parasite.
Claudia: It’s also giving… Blobfish!
Amanda: He’s mad!
Elyse: Big feelings, huh bud.
Sarah: What did you say about his sportball team that caused that face?
He’s actually pouting!
Sneezy: That’s rough, buddy.
In their Hands–bottom guy’s boulder shoulder is looking a little out of place.
In Their Hands: bottom guy looks like he’s doom scrolling while she checks for ticks or lice.
Challenges by the mountain man: I did a near spit take when I scrolled and saw Kermit. It would have been equally as funny had it been the Stardew blob fish.
The Highland Kiss: oh my goodness Big Mad is so accurate. Did he drop his ice cream cone and mom won’t buy another one? Did Dad tell him he can’t go ride bikes until he finishes his homework? Did someone fart?
Did no one else find that combo of that terrible abdomen and “Rosewood Ridge Riders” hilarious? It’s the first thing I thought of and by “thought” I mean saying “ew. No. Ew” repeatedly
These are hilarious. The Kermit frog made me lol. The second cover, I legit thought that was her boob and my eyes almost fell out at their massiveness till I realized that it was the guy’s shoulder! Wild stuff here today!!
So we’re just going with random flannel shirts to signal Scotland now?
I read the first title as “urtie BAX” then as “untie BAX” before I read the snark.
The mountain man’s abdomen has started to melt so now the face has a duck’s bill.
Elyse: In his defense, Word is the worst and the fact that it continues to be the standard is baffling.
Sarah: Entirely. WordPerfect or GTFO.
Preach. I’ll go so far as to add: WP5.1 was perfect, particularly for production typing and efficiency. Word = Big Mad.
Until Bax–I’m shielding my eyes, too
In Their Hands–is that supposed to be his hand and arm on her back?
Challenged by the Mountain Man–floating torso above the jeans, or like a paper doll and they didn’t fit the pants on
The Highland Kiss–he’s mad because he didn’t a shirtless broadsword & kilt cover
Until Bax: For a moment there, I thought I had figured it out. Given a series “Until Him”, we get Until Adam, Until Bax, Until Charlie, Until Derek . . . But what is this alphabet in which B comes fifth?
In Their Hands: Ya know, this could have been a really satisfactory cover–if it weren’t for the cover models. And the cAsInG of the title. Such tiny blunders . . .
Chauffeured– Oh, whoops, no, it’s Challenged. By the mountain man, no less. Yeah, some fonts can be challenging. And “Rosewood Ridge Riders”? Seriously? Sounds more like the equestrian program at a snooty boarding school.
The Highland Kiss: No true Scotsman would be caught dead in that outfit.
At first glance, I thought the dot over the i in “in their hands” was his nipple, and was very confused.
@Darlynne: Yes!!! WP5.1 was the GOAT. Just the fact that you could actually SEE and edit your formatting made it better than Word, where you had to guess where formats began and ended. I learned spreadsheets on Lotus123. I hated – hated – hated it when our company made the decision to convert everyone to MS products. I became very good at Excel because I had to, but for the longest time I boycotted MS whenever I could. And I still refuse to use whatever the latest iteration of IE is. As for Clippy, he immediately got disabled whenever he reared his head. The annoying progenitor of all those annoying chatbots that pop up every time you open a webpage.
Bugs in Word to this day that were in Word for Windows from day 1
Itheir Hands looks like a small group of apes grooming and eating bugs found in the furn
In their hands, sorry for thetypo
The three individuals in “In Their Hands” look like three people on the current political scene. I won’t say who, because it probably isn’t allowed, so use your imagination!
