The art director & the Good Omens book cover tier list of doom, part 3

Part 1 l Part 2 l Part 3

I am your resident Art Director/Good Omens enthusiast, and welcome to my completely meta-free book cover tier list. Listen, making a book cover is HARD. I should know. But while we salute these artists for their hard work and time, I think we can all admit that once in a while, the vision is just not on. And on very rare occasions, publishers seemed to have managed to commission the cover art directly from hell... here's where we left off last time:

21. Labas zīmes, Latvian cover

Our boys are back! And they are so ready to join the Dead Boy Detective agency. I would say that Latvians don't wear much tartan, so Argyle might seem like a similar print, but it just seems so... not Good Omens. Much like Crowley's flying purple people eater tail and Aziraphale's Conan the Barbarian sword, we're straying into niche AU fan fiction territory here. I mean, it's not *wrong*, but it certainly ain't right, either.

Tier: Does the Job

22. Bons Augùrios, Portuguese

Let me start by saying this cover is so close to being in the blessed category. The layout and spacing are divine, the imagery is simple and whimsical, it reflects the humour inside the gravitas to give you an idea of the *feeling* of reading Good Omens. So few of these covers have gotten this aspect of good design right. Honestly, I would slow clap if it wasn't for that random FLAME JIZZ stuck to the bottom right hand corner of the book. Who's idea was that? Dagon's?

Tier: Great

23. Semne Bune, Romanian cover

I admire two things about this cover: 1) Their utter commitment to a clean 3-colour palette and comprehensible layout. 2) Symbolic demon giving a principality head joke RIGHT ON THE FRONT COVER. This designer had balls. cotillion-sized balls. Now, does Aziraphale's sword have a sentient rooster tassel that watches said head-giving in horror? I sure hope not, but I don't see how that could be allegorical so, I'm torn. I feel like this goes in two categories for completely different reasons. And seeing as I'm in charge around here...

Tier: Great & Not so Good (Omens)

23. Semne Bune, Romanian cover cont.

Compared to the last cover's gigantic double-entendre, this feels so tame and logical. The text is centred and balanced. There's breathing room, and we have wing symbolism! I've never seen a cover try to split Terry and Neil's names like that, which is a fun twist but BY GOD that center line is not straight near the right end of the feathers and it is sending this cover straight down to Does the Job. It's grounded there forever.

Tier: Does the Job

25. HYVIÄ ENTEITÄ, Finnish cover

In this list, having something actually *relevant* to the main plot of the book and not mangling and main characters really puts you in rarefied air. All the motorcycles are book accurate which means somebody read something! Would I have ever picked the empty parking lot of Famine's restaurant as a subject worth a cover? Absolutely not. But the sick 80s lightning tips it into "fine" territory. The text is yellow. It's pretty.

Tier: Does the Job

26. Head ended, Estonian cover.

My face after staring at this cover for ten minutes and finally realizing that this is Hastur and Ligur waiting around for Crowley to pull up:

The artist's face after watching me do that:

Do I even need to rate this? It's called HEAD ENDED. I don't know how to be funnier than that.

Tier: WTF

27. Dobry Omen, Polish cover

Some good points for trying to be original with the layout of the title by drawing a custom pitchfork "Y", but the heinous kerning and the fact the whole text block is not even centred kind of makes me take all the points back. I feel like we're pretty heavy on the demonic, extremely light on the angelic in this take. Maybe it's because on his death bed the lead guitarist of White Snake will finally admit to having designed this cover in his spare time.

Tier: Not so Good (Omens)

28. Good Omens, Hungarian cover

If I told you this designer did not read the book, and instead just watched the trailer of The Omen (the movie) and vibed this heinous brown carpet swatch into existence, you would one hundred percent believe me. I can't even talk about the faux belle-époque font right now. I am irrationally angry.

Tier: WTF

29. Good Omens, Bulgarian cover

WHO. IS. DADDY. WIZARD?? Is all I can think when I look at this cover. Aziraphale & Grommet are recognizable enough, and you could make the case for telescope monkey being Adam, but I need to find this cover designer and shake them until they tell me who this deranged Gargamel is supposed to be. I must know.

Tier: Bad

30. BELAS MALDIÇÕES, Portuguese cover

After all we've been through on this list so far, this truly sucks. It's not even weird. It's just puce text layered atop text to create a great yawn of a cover. Shout out to the designer of the Diablo PC game font, I hope you got paid.

Tier: Bad

🐓🐓https://deedylovescake.creator-spring.com/listing/gallagher-rooster🐓🐓

🌟and a little message below for anyone who has already gotten a mug from creator-spring.com:

I have yet again updated the rooster mug art. When I first ordered a sample of Rooster Mug from creator-spring.com they sent me the mug on the left. Loved it! Perfect. Gave it away as a present even. So a few months later when I tried to order a new one and I got the mug on the right?? I was...confused. So after a lot of back and forth and a re-printing that was an utter fail, spring ultimately insisted that the original sample I was sent was a "misprint" that just happened to turn out exactly the way it was meant to and looked like the automated product images on the listing page (okay sure jan). Anyway, so I've fiddled with the art again so it should turn out looking more like the old redbubble version (seen in the top image with my husband hand modeling lol). So if you're one of the folks who ordered a rooster mug from creator-spring.com and you got something looking like that mug on the right, I highly encourage you to contact support and complain that the mug showed up and didn't look like it did in the automated images. Say whatever really, because they're generally pretty willing to either offer you a re-print or store credit or maybe even a refund. (and they won't want the mug back so dont worry about that)

Why can't things be simple? Wish I knew. Poor cursed rooster mug.

Bat Against Full Moon, c. 1910/30 Crows in Flight, in Snow, c. 1890/9 Rooster [and Hen], c. 1925 Night Cherry [or Moon and Plum Blossoms], c. 1904/5 Biho Takahashi [Yoshikuni Nomura] (1873-?)

The Smithsonian, which is the source for 3 of 4 of the above woodblock prints, credits these prints to a Yoshikuni Nomura [野村美邦] who lived from 1855-1903, but every other site that has one of these prints seems certain they should be credited to a different Yoshikuni Nomura (cf. the ukiyo-e database, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Smart Museum of Art, &c.). I'm still not sure I've credited these correctly (and they might not all be the same artist) but I've done my best.

#artist: biho takahashi #artist: yoshikuni nomura #era: 19th century #era: 20th century #medium: print #medium: woodblock print #medium: ink #movement: kachō-e #movement: ukiyo-e #genre: landscape #genre: animals and nature #medium: paper #nationality: japanese #medium: ink and color on paper

9. Game Day (Sports): they can't decide which one is the best time, in normal times, but when the Navy is playing? all hands on deck and fuck the Army ('86 class and their barbecue)

10. Love Language: Learning ASL is probably more complicated than all the math he does when he's flying. But the way his husband smiles at him when he sings back good morning makes all the work feel like a walk in the park (Icema/Maverick; post-cancer arc);

1st Jellystone Drabble I did

Okay so basically in the episode “The Brave Little Daddy”, Huckleberry Hound said that Grape Ape has a mind of a toddler, so I want to expand the latter’s “toddler” side of him.

We cut to Augie Doggie’s house, when there is a offscreen muffled conversation between her and Doggie Daddy behind the window, then we see Augie leave the house and waves goodbye. Then we cut to the Mud Bug Cafe, where Shag Rugg is walking out of the door, waving goodbye to Maw Rugg, following by the latter wishing him to come back home for dinner. Finally, we cut to Yakky’s house, where she is seen walking out of the door and waving goodbye to Chopper, which the latter is doing barbell exercise and wishing her a safe stroll (while sweating and puffing in and out air).

Then we cut to the center of the town where the children meet and decide to go and play on the boardwalk of Jellystone(with a dock). They get on their swimsuits and started playing summer games. They are having so much fun, followed by a montage of the kids playing all sorts of games, “Ring Around The Rosie”,”Tag”, skipping pebbles across the sea, swimming, “Hide and Seek”. Then suddenly, they were hungry. But thankfully, Shag brought enough money to buy snacks and water. After they ate, they continue to play more games. One of the many games is a swimming race(whoever swims the fastest and touches the dock first wins a random heart shaped rock Yakky has found while skipping stones earlier).

The race started, with the kids trying to swim faster and getting to the dock first with a few laps. Then a bunch of waves and then bubbles start to form, the kids got thrown off course. Yakky decides to leave the water before anything bad happens, the other 2 agree.

Back at the boardwalk, they decide to climb up to the top of a building to relax(look at the clouds) and/or still play their games(While taking the rock with them). There were a ton of cloud shapes (heart, mouse, crayfish, rooster, tree, snake). Back at the sea, bubbles are heard and a shadowy figure with glowing eyes start rising from the water. The silhouette then roared and went to Jellystone.

Back at the top, the kids were bored and decided to climb down and walk over to the wall randomly built next to the side of a building where the sun is shining on the wall. They decided to do shadow art, Augie made a shadow version of her dad, Shag made a shadow of a crayfish (in a pot), Yakky made a shadow version of herself lifting a barbell.

All of them praise each other’s art, but all agree it was kinda too easy, so they do complex art, Augie makes a scene of herself being kissed by her dad, Shag made his whole family making crayfish dinner, Yakky made a shadow version of herself dodging obstacles to get to her mom she made with her own shadow. They all praise each other’s art even more.

Then a huge shadow comes out and blocks out the Sun, causing no light to the wall, meaning no more shadow art. Luckily, the kids see the shadow, ran and hid behind the wall, but they just watch aside to see two gigantic hands making a ton of shadow art(banana, the silhouettes of the kids, etc.).

Impressed, Augie decides to praise the “artist”, but they were nowhere to be seen. However they see massive water printed footprints. They decide to follow the prints and found the site in a bunch of buildings. Curious, Augie decides to look behind, nothing. She sadly goes back to the group and announces there’s nothing in the site.

The kids sighed and left, but sense vibrations from the ground and hear stomping. They look up and see Grape Ape behind them, standing there, excited and confident to play with them. But the kids knew he was too big and strong. He calms down and just friendlily waved at them. They nervously waved at him back, then slowly back away to avoid conflict. Grape Ape, confused, starts walking towards them.

The kids made a run for it, looking for something to hide in (Augie - in the dumpster, Shag - in the trash can, Yakky - in a tree). Grape Ape,(earlier, he was counting on a building to 20) treated the hiding like “Hide and Seek”, and search for them as soon as he said 20 and he is about to say “Ready or Not, Here I come”. But, he heard the ruckus of hiding real quick in the alley, came over and expose all of their hiding spots. This made the kids run from their now exposed hiding spots. Then Grape Ape said “That’s too easy for me.”

They are now running, but Grape Ape did not chase them. Instead, he is hiding behind some stray buildings, waiting for the perfect moment for a game of “Surprise Tag” (it works basically the same as normal Tag, except the “it” hides somewhere random, where people run at random, until they hit the “it” zone, where the “it” hops up to chase and tag the player who stepped on the zone or anyone else running).

The kids were running for help, but they stopped at the group of buildings that Grape Ape was hiding in, but did not step on the zone. They scurried around the zone, avoiding being chased. However, Yakky accidentally tripped on a small rock and fell to the zone, triggering Grape Ape into hopping out of the buildings, Yakky got up and got near Augie and Shag. The kids then saw Grape Ape jumping out of the buildings at such great height (for his body size) and screamed and ran around the town, Grape Ape then landed on the ground (lands on his feet), unintentionally causing a earthquake, and then ran after them.

Citizens are seen talking and walking, doing the usual. Then, they feel the vibrations of the ground shaking and they see Grape Ape chasing the kids, and ran for their lives. “Yay, more players!” Grape Ape said, excitedly, as he was chasing other citizens to tag. Huckleberry(tired, he is seen with a wrapped up back, sore eyes, yawning and holding a cup of coffee) was there the whole time, seeing the whole scene behind his window, while sitting on his bed, shocked and concerned, and then fell out of his bed from the vibrations and almost broke a bone. He was about to get his megaphone, then he thought about his broken spine from last week, so it resulted him not doing anything to avoid breaking any more of his bones.

The first person that end up breaking their bones while running from Grape Ape is Mildew Wolf (of course), he is tagged too hard and collided to a fire hydrant. Many of the citizens are either crushed or slapped into a building. Ambulance is called, Yogi, Boo Boo, and Cindy were driving to the scene (while avoiding getting their ambulance destroyed by Grape Ape’s hands), and took Mildew (and a few citizens) to the stretcher and into the hospital. Yogi and the doctors weren’t able to carry all of the people hurt all at once, so they have to carry them by the trips back from the town back to the hospital. Then Grape Ape’s massive foot crushed and slapped into the ocean (while crashing onto a few buildings).

One of the many people that got slapped is Wally Gator, which sends him flying and colliding to the window of Huckleberry’s city hall, and fell to the ground, landing on the stairs, and fainted because he is weakened. Squiddly inked, covering Grape Ape’s hand with black ink. Few of the citizens that have not been tagged just ran for their lives, which excites Grape Ape even more (destroying even more buildings doing so).

Huckleberry finally had enough of the ruckus and decides to reprimand the giant gorilla, however he tripped on his slipper, slides towards the window and collided to the window, causing his window to break and causing him to fall a great height, breaking almost all of his bones when he come into contact with the sidewalk. To add the salt to the wound, a few citizens are seen running (stampeding the mayor), followed by Grape Ape chasing them and he(unintentionally) stepped on the mayor. Finally, he turned around to tag him, and then decided to call off the game, then ran off to tag some citizens. Yogi and Cindy (didn’t get hurt by the collision) decided to collect Huckleberry’s crushed body to the hospital with the stretcher and ran barefoot, following by Boo Boo grabbing the needs for a broken bone(skeleton). Mildew was calling out for the doctors to get him too, but he(along with the crushed ambulance)sank to the ocean. (Titanic style) All of the other citizens in the ambulance just swam back to shore. News was spread across television and on paper that Grape Ape was attacking the city. Snagglepuss was then seen on a full on body cast with his head being the only part not covered, telling his horror story behind his injury (slapped by Grape Ape) before fainting and falling out of his wheelchair with an “Ow” is heard.

Grape Ape then decided to just wanting to play, so he ran to the location where the kids are shaking fiercely, but he changed his mind and wanting to make the kids better by hugging. He tried asking, but the kids were still too scared to answer. So he just grabbed the kids with the palm of his hand and just hugs them all at once with his arms. The kids thought it was cute, then Grape Ape starts squeezing so hard to “squeeze the stress”, the kids start yelling at him not to squeeze so hard. Grape Ape then said that he is trying to squeeze all of the negative emotions out of their bodies.

Mr. Jinks comes out of the blue and told him to stop squeezing so hard. Grape Ape didn’t know what he is talking about, and squeeze the kids even harder than before. Mr. Jinks, now afraid he’ll be on the blame for the injuries of the kids and be on the angry hands of the parents, he gets Huckleberry (on a full on body cast with his head covered) out of the hospital by pushing his wheelchair to Grape Ape’s feet. The wrapped up mayor told him to let go of the children. Grape Ape, now almost defeated, puts down the children and leaves. Thankfully, they are fine without any broken bones (thanks to Grape Ape’s soft, bouncy fur), and ran towards their worried parents, (who were in the chase earlier, trying to find their respective kid) they hug their kids. Mr. Jinks was relieved and then told the mayor that his bones are pretty much dust and needed rest, Huckleberry then replied that he was okay with it, as he was pushed by Jinks back to the city hall.

Then, Grape Ape made a big comeback by grabbing the kids, placing them under his cap, and running, while singing “Pop Goes the Weasel” (tone deaf). The parents (particularly Doggie Daddy) were so mad that their kids got taken away that they chased after Grape Ape. Grape Ape just laughed(hopping on buildings, swinging on lampposts), Mr. Jinks saw the whole thing, he was about to run after him, but now realized that he would be literally sweating and exhausted, just to get some children.

So he ran to get Huckleberry’s megaphone and shoved it into the mayor’s windpipe and realized the wheelchair was motorized by Cindy, so he starts the engine and pushed the wheelchair to get it started. Huckleberry, rolling around his wheelchair, starts yelling so loudly at Grape Ape to get the children back to their parents. Grape Ape then turns around to chase the wheelchair (playfully) to the sunset, followed by the angry parents, then the iris closes on the sun.
