The cassette version makes a little more sense than the CD version. . .at least it's "framed" with a uniform border all the way around, albeit awkwardly. It also seems unnecessary. I mean, why have a frame at all? In any case, it doesn't excuse the CD version for having the right side of the frame's border take up a full 1/4 of the cover.
Elvis makes a good point, though. Maybe it was a last-minute quick-fix to crop an unwanted visual out of the picture. I guess we'll never know the truth....
RWS is probably my overall favorite AL-bum, too. Go figure it would have the most flawed cover art.

Re: Observations about Weird Al Album covers.
Did you know that on the "Weird Al" Yankovic album cover, there is a object for every song on the album?

I just noticed Al's old college friend Joel Miller behind his right shoulder on the train!

The RWS cover has always puzzled me as well.

What's puzzling? It's called running with scissors and he's literally running with scissors

Re: Observations about Weird Al Album covers.
I had the same reaction at first, but then I figured that they were referring to the earlier conversation about how the cover seems to be made of two disjointed photos.

That lady with her legs crossed sitting to the left of him on the Poodle Hat cover is definitely checking out his bum. I look at this all the time, figured I'd finally mention it.

You mean his cousin? Also she couldn't have been since it was all photoshopped together.
