06:55 pm - [Misspent Youth] Update to the cover post
I need to nip this in the bud before it goes too far! Apparently I was a little too subtle in my earlier post. That cover? Totally a hoax.
So here's the story: Jenn, Joshua, and I are emailing back and forth about the cover design. I mention Jenn showing us a sketch when she has the time and Joshua goes, "Well, of course you want a cock, right? That's why you picked Jenn?"
So Jenn shoots us an email. "This is a quick sketch I did."
I think, that's got to be a joke. Oh shit, what if it's not. I mean, I'm SURE it's a joke but if I say, "Is that a joke?" and it's not, I'm gonna feel like a huge dick. I fret. I call her. She laughs very long and very loud at me. I deserve it. I talk to Joshua. He does the same. I decide I should spread the pain.
So, yeah, no cock in the final game (although there's a surprising amount of cock in issues of Maximum Rocknroll, the 'zine I'm basing this on.
Voila.

Awesome! I'm glad you said that. That shouldn't be the cover for MY.
...because it's too tasteful. I'm totally looking forward to the real cover myself, with the dueling cocks. After all, there's a story behind why that cock is bloodied.
