    Puma might not get what she wants:

    Can anyone decipher this for me?

    he's describing Carabas' entry yet voting for the near porn?
    Oh, THAT! No clue. Apparently "clarity" isn't in his repertoire.

    I vote for Paradox because I figure someone has to. Also because I nearly used that one before dismissing it as too obvious.

    I was late, and all the good ones had been taken.

    And I'm lazy. And a smart ass.

    Worstbloggerever, just for the horribleness of the book, but damn pretty art.

    Trussed-Up Hooker: Blueberry are my favorite!

    In other words, what StoneGold said.

    It's probably more about the opening of the TV show, but I always thought this Cassaday cover was something of an homage.



    But I have to admit, I like the original better. Partially because it was a part of my childhood, but there's something about the way he's firing that pistol while rearing Silver that speaks to me.

    I'll be damned. Just did a little research, found out the cover was painted by Ernest Nordli who was also a Disney animator. He was the art director on Dumbo. And just to make me happy, here's the record album, and now I need to figure out which episodes were on it.

    Has Carabas been notified? I saw he was on earlier. Not that the cover contest is the most important thing in my week, but it kinda is....
