I am already going to have nightmares for the rest of my life, so they might as well be UHF-themed.

Just when I thought I'd finally successfully blocked the image from my head...it's back. :(

It's still cool and relatively well done. Like not all well done things are amazing but it's interesting to look at.

I honestly don't understand why people are SOOOO upset about this. It's just a poster. What's so bad about it? That it's hand drawn? The faces are shaped oddly? I do not get what's so horrible.

It partially dips into the Uncanny Valley, which people seem to have a problem with.

It just looks like it was almost intentionally designed to be very ugly and aesthetically unappealing. The colors are dull; the facial features--especially the mouths--are so ridiculously hideous that it has to be a joke. And if that wasn't Rich Kelley's intention, I apologize but this is up there with the TWAS DVD in terms of cover art that...just doesn't work for me (to put it nicely). The art style looks similar to a Mad artist, Herman Mejia, but less refined.

But I didn't buy the thing, so it's not like it's hanging on my wall, torturing me as I try to go to sleep each night. The fact that it exists, while disturbing, does not especially trouble me.

I have it hanging by nail-gun on the wall across the bed in my bedroom; I don't or have a sense of displeasure from viewing it either. Granted, I slightly regret using the nail-gun on it, but that's more because I'm one of the apparent few that doesn't want to destroy it, than anything else.
