Mountain Man Dance Moves

A collection of various lists from the McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.
We got to see this cover while it was in development last winter. Gall had a different painting in mind, which someone had evidently procured from a yard sale, but since they couldn’t find the artist they would need to commission a similar painting.
(also, this is a terrible scan)

It’s like Lisa Frank herself barfed all over a McSweeney’s publication. I love it.

I would buy that on sight.

Really captures that wry humour found in the lists.

Precedence for this approach was set by Rick Moody’s “The Diviners.”
