ON THE COVER
All our covers in one place and at one
time, for you to peruse and reminisce.
Remember the scratch and sniff cover
(mmmm, buttered popcorn). Or how
about the journal cover? Or maybe the
highlights cover along with the punch-out
paper doll (Brian O’Malley) tickled your
fancy. Our personal favorite was the art
cover (by the excellent Wayne Brekke).
It’s been a fun five years and we’ve had
a ball creating these. We hope you’ve
enjoyed them as well. Look for more
crazy concepts and jazzy ideas
in the issues to come.
