Sometimes it feels so long since the last Cover Snark and sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday!

Get ready for some Cover Snark! Susan: I know this is a fairly mild example, but I was fine with this cover until I noticed the newspaper. Also I think the dude’s leg is pasted on.

Amanda: At first, I thought it was tied around his waist like … Continue reading Cover Snark: Stomach Cramps But Make Them Sexy→
Hi there! Do you need some Cover Snark? I think you need some Cover Snark! From Skye: What the heck is going on with this dress???
