Oh man, I hadn’t even noticed that!
"Daddy's home!"
This is it, this is the one. The one what? I don't know. But this is it.
The implication of a third eye on the other side of the bird face bothers me more than anything else in this picture.
*singing* PANTS MAGIC! pants magic pants! pants magic pants! Put that denim's spell on me, slap that fabric, make it free!
I noticed that the tome on the table is actually called How To Make Lee Jeans and I could not stop myself from searching - lo and behold, this was actually a Lee ad campaign (link goes to the artist's Instagram) back in the day. Incredible.
When they say acid washed jeans I didn't realize they meant LSD.
Also, just going to leave this random trivia here:
Denim originated as a contraction of the French phrase serge de Nîmes (serge from Nîmes, France).
Apparently they're not real jeans unless they come from the Nîmes region. Otherwise they're just sparkling dungarees.
I don't know if there's such a thing as punk bongos, but it sure looks like the woman at lower right plays them.
More images!

I have actually read the book this is the cover of.
And yes, I read it hoping for Cybersnake Man and Train Guy crashing into Space Bugs.
Sadly the cover was a metaphor
Those last 2 look like they could be computer video game box art.
For tripping balls?
Sadly not. Going off, like… 30 year old memories here but
The first manned expedition to an inhabitable planet hits a snag when it turns out there’s another race of aliens that developed space travel, like… two or three weeks faster than humans did and barely got there first and most of the book is split between the two groups trying to figure out how to talk to each other, then working out how to divide the galaxy because *obviously* humans and the space guys are going to be at odds when it comes to colonization of the universe… and then a third group of glowy space bug things show up and say “Y’all… can’t possibly think you’re the only ones in the wider universe right? We had dibs *way* before either of you guys figured out thumbs.” And the impending Human/Space Guy war ends before it begins because neither group wanted to piss off the space bugs.
Story over.
