Shirts vs Skins...

...well, technically I guess the dolphins are also skins, so I guess the Illuminati vs. Cetaceans will be Shorts vs. Skins.

Anyway, the winner will be awarded this peach pit formed into the face of Christ by the Hooded Eye of Pride.

Dolphin's getting a good look at the topless woman.

>2 bam2001: AND NOBODY GETS THE PEACH, IT'S ALL MINE!

Despite the subtitle, those are not apples. Artist must have failed fruit identification in school.

Dolphins are scary-horny, so I've no doubt that one's sizing her up.

It's a measure of how bad this is that it didn't strike me for a minute that the black scrawl on the cover wasn't part of the original art.

Judging by the differing snout shapes, there's at least two different species of dolphin there.

And judging by the fact they're below the dolphins, what I first took to be schematically represented waves are actually undulations of the sea-floor.

>6 AndreasJ: They look like that "eggcrate" type of foam, now that you mention it. Presumably made of harder material.

Why this is, is another mystery of the Jorts-Wearing Illuminati.

"I don't know, man: your secret world conspiracy is giving off a kind of uncool vibe. What with the pastel rainbow and the dolphins, it's, like, I'm being pandered to. "

The Golden Apple? Are you trying to tell me that the one-eyed person in the hood is Steve Jobs?

>9 Hammy_JLK: It's a Jobs impersonator. He wasn't about to appear on this cover, title or no, since the proffered fruit is actually a peach. The dolphin is laughing at it.
