BLAB mag cover by Mark Ryden. Thru the looking glass, this is how a picture is worth a thousand words. The little girl strolls around with her big curious eyes and pretty red boots; the butcher lady smiles for the cute progeny and slaughters away. Dead figures are lead, pets are kept, factories kept churning, dinosaurs are framed, and Jesus Christ figurine keeps everyone sane.
