“MANUEL!! Where are the menus??”
“Qhe? — Please Mister Fawlty no hit!”

I’m pretty sure “W.W.” isn’t Walt Whitman.

Maybe it’s a scene from the 1970s world of pop:
Three Hooded Men: “JOIN US!!”
David Bowie: “Bugger off, you guys, there’s no way I’m joining the Alan Parsons Project.”

That looks like a Bruce Pennington cover. He must have had a tax bill come due.

Robed guys: NO! The evil number is three! Who ever heard of an evil prophet group of 4? ha!
Eyeliner boy: *sniffs* We could have broken the mold… *sniffs*

The hooded men, obviously, are forming the letter ‘Y’. It’s not such a subtle code, really. Seeing such a cover, the obvious reaction is: ‘WHY? WHY? WHY?’
November 11th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
It’s not “WHY? WHY? WHY?” it’s “YMCA!”

Arses to the cosmic custodian who left all that punctuation strewn over the book cover!
November 11th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
THX 1138: Not so much ‘YMCA!’ as ‘YMQ’HE!’, surely.

Was I the only one expecting a Che Guevara t-shirt?

W.W. is William Bloom. “W.W.” was the entirety of his SF writing pen name, though. A little searching reveals that this was his last SF novel (in 1976), but he went on to a long career in nonfiction writing.

It looks like the Predators are targeting everything but Ziggy Stardust with their laser sights …

Next up, the sequel: Teh.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
And then the less well received conclusion to the trilogy: Enh.

Not mentioned is the fact that all three titles are from the series: Duh!: The WTF Chronicles

Greetings. Bertrand Russell here. I just wanted to chip in that, to an artist, they might just be pretty dots in a triangular formation, but to us logicians they mean “therefore”. Hence we have two syllogisms presented before us:
Syllogism the first:
Cosmic custodian THEREFORE celestial wizard. (I won’t argue with that one.)
Syllogism the second:
W THEREFORE W THEREFORE.
Ah.
I believe the apposite phrase is “does not compute”.

I assumed the title was a reference to _Illuminatus!_.

I’ve actually read part of this.

So the three prophets of evil expelled their young apprentice.
But no matter.
Several years later, Eddie Izzard rose to fame as a solo act.

And now for the very first time on the silver screen comes the film from two books which once shocked a generation. From Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ and from the ‘International Guide to Semaphore Code’, Twentieth Century Vole presents ‘The Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights’.

Dave: The internet suggests his later work was “holistic wellbeing and spiritual development” writing.
So, still fiction.
Also explains the “W.: W.:” stuff, straight out of the “esoteric” playbook ala Crowley.

Interesting point Sigivald.
I actually saw some .: spray painted on the side of the road the other day.
Now some might simply assume it was for the road works across from it.
I like to think W W has been on my street!

The Klan is really branching out these days.

If this isn’t the work of Bruce Pennington, King of the Pastel Coral Desertscapes, then it means there’s a Pennington wannabe out there who got work. Doing an album cover for the little-known Jon Anderson team-up with the Polyphonic Spree. Was Roger Dean too embarrassed?

“Cleanup on aisle 3. Would the Cosmic Custodian please proceed to aisle 3? There is a spillage of Qhe! and some Klansmen appear to be worshipping it. Also, tell that gentleman where to find the eyeshadow counter.”

“Stop following me around! I told you guys I’m over that mystic pagan stuff. I’m going solo and it’s going to be glam rock all the way.“
