Feb. 9th, 2026 08:53 amCover Snark: Photoshop is Working Overtime
Feb. 9th, 2026 08:00 amWelcome back to Cover Snark!
Sarah: Is there a Pepto bismol factory in their town? And did it flood?
Why is everything so pink?
Kiki: That blurb color is so infuriating. Are we supposed to be able to read it?
Amanda: Also straight to jail for the man who didn’t pick up after his dog.
Sarah: Right? Who wants to hook up with a person who hasn’t completed basic potty training?
Def. team “don’t fuck that guy”
Elyse: This reminds me of those bad illustrations you get for discussing OSHA reportables
Sarah: “If your recreational area is flooded with pink slime, please follow these important safety procedures?”
Amanda: It’s the Ghostbusters slime.
Sneezy: Not even a dog can fix this mess.

Sarah: No.
Are the St Patricks crochet photoshopped on?
Tara: Yes! Also those greens do not go together. And her, it’s so bad that I love it.
Sarah: the more I look the more the faux-chet is making me laugh.
Sneezy: This feels like a bad collage.

Amanda: Why is he doing the Arthur angry fist?
Elyse: I appreciate that he bothered with a belt but not a shirt.
Sarah: Is he mad that the kid is dissolving?
Did he just miss the window for tickets to see Bluey On Tour?
I’m confused by the degree of Big Mad with the Arthur angry fist.
Sneezy: All of it looks like moldy velcro, it’s giving me an actual headache.

From Maeve: I just have to share this cover.
Sarah: The only thing I understand visually is that he’s horny.
Elyse: For a minute I thought that was Sheldon.
Sneezy: Me too. I hate all the textures and colours in this cover. Something about the combination feels so disgusting to me.
Kiki: What a…rich visual text. Lots of…dynamic elements. Someone’s photoshop subscription earned its keep on this one.
