Cover Snark: Vintage Snark!


Welcome back to Cover Snark!Doubleday Romance Library anthology from 1977. The side profile of a brunette woman with a large window behind her. Through the window is a scene of rolling green hills and the silhouette of man's face in the blue sky.

From HeatherS: I want to know why Ted Cruz’s spectral head is creeping on this lady. Nightmare fuel.

Sarah: Oh, that’s VERY Creepy. Also, the titles are terrific.

Amanda: Oh yeah, that’s Ted Cruz.

Sarah: You and Heather agree, indeed it is.

Elyse: JUSTICE FOR SNOWFLAKE.

Sneezy: *aggressive cat hiss*

The Brixon Agreement by JoAnna Marie. A photoshopped man and woman in a large empty room. The man is in a navy suit with a western bow tie. He's holding the hands of a woman with blonde curly hair and a frilly green dress. Light appears to be hitting them at different angels. The room is white marble and glossy parquet floors. The ceiling is powder blue with gold decorations and what appears to be a skylight.

From Rosemary: Is that a skylight?

Sarah: Is that AI or just hellabad attempts at photoshop? Their hands, her arm, the borders – all weird.

Tara: I need a sign that says “Stop putting light text over light cover imagery.”

Sarah: Will the sign have light text over light cover imagery? Seems fitting.

Tara: Maybe, but not that yellow.

Sarah: I suppose you’re right.

Sneezy: I agree, I can’t tell if it’s AI or just poorly done. I hate everything about the fonts too. It looks like a middle school powerpoint assignment.

Grumpy Bear's Plus Size Love by Amelia Wilson. A shirtless man in jeans is looking down and trying to find something in his pocket. A big brown bear is lurking behind me.

From Sara: Sometimes I just wanna yell “Stop staring at your peen, there’s a huge f-off bear behind you!!”

And…is there an actual love interest or his junk the titular “Plus Size Love”?

Sarah: Perhaps it suddenly is and that is why he is fascinated and alarmed?

Do you think he calls his ween “Buddy?”

Sneezy: “Heeey Buddy? How’s it going down there? I have to put on pants now, okay? Oh- don’t be mad, baby! I have to wear pants! It’s not because I’m ashamed of you! Wait, no, don’t- OW!”

The Mistake by Sam Crescent. A headless, shirtless man with lots of dark tattoos, but the tattoos combined with the dark lighting on the cover make him look like he's covered in soot or has been roasted to a crisp.

From Melodie: Was the mistake standing too close to the grill when he lit it? He looks very crispy.

Amanda: This is how I prefer my toasted marshmallows.

Sarah: I too have made this mistake on not re-applying sunscreen. It’s a painful mistake but I’ve never fucked it up that badly. My goodness. He needs an ICU immediately.

Sneezy: Whichever it is, it probably required an awe inspiring amount of incompetence and/or a series of statistically improbable events.

Elyse: He’s gonna need a cream for that.
