Unpresidented!

Back on December 6, CNN released this book, which tells the story of the massive dumpster fire that was the 2016 presidential election.

Apparently Glorious Leader Trumpy just now became aware of the book, and of course was compelled to tweet his feelings about it.

I have a feeling he most likely never even cracked it open to look at its contents, as the only thing he had to say about it was that CNN "used worst cover photo of me!"

Oh, Donald. You really don't understand how the internet works, do you?

All things considered, the official photo CNN used doesn't look that bad. Especially when you consider what they had to work with. You think that cover was bad, Donald? Challenge accepted! I can make much, MUCH worse looking covers!

Like this one, featuring my all-time favorite image of Trump. Now THAT'S a cover, Don!

Below are fifteen more alternative Unprecedented covers that are even worse. Be careful what you wish for, Trumpy!

 

Note: After posting this, I fully expect Trump's secret police to bust down my door tonight and drag me off to the gulag. If you don't hear from me for a few months, promise to avenge me! Get Bob Dylan to write a protest song about my plight!

Jesus Is Just Alright

I saw this in a used book store over the weekend.

Wow, that is quite the image of Jesus there. Just look at those chisled cheekbones. Those tousled brown locks. The impossibly wide, toothy grin. The manly, lumberjack beard. The oddly asymmetrical eyes. It's all quite a departure from the standard depiction of Jesus.

In fact with those male model looks he seems like he'd be more at home on a package of Brawny paper towels than he does the Son Of Man. 

Fortunately I don't believe in hell, so I don't fear being sent there for my blasphemy.

By the way, regarding the title of this post-- what's up with that Jesus Is Just Alright song by the Doobie Brothers? Jesus is just "alright?" Alright as in "satisfactory or acceptable?" If they're really that into him and wanting to show it in song, shouldn't they be saying, "Jesus is super colossal awesome?"

OK, starting to get a little more scared of hell now.

This Week In Awkward And Inappropriate Book Covers

As most comic book fans are aware, there are wiseacres out there on the interwebs who like to snicker and point at Batman and Robin, insisting that they (and any superhero character with a teen sidekick) must surely be gay. 

Hardee har.

Despite the fact that Robin was created in a more innocent time as an audience surrogate, these wags are insistent that there's a hidden and perverted subtext to the comics, and no amount of argument can dissuade them of this notion.

I don't know where they get such ideas.

Certainly not from this upcoming collection of Frank Quietly's DC artwork. Just look at that wholesome, tasteful cover depicting Robin spreading his creamy white thighs and thrusting his lovingly rendered crotch at the viewer's face, while an unshaven, seedy looking Batman leers smugly from behind.

Nope, nothing salacious or untoward going on here. Move along!
