Thanks for all the funny comments yesterday! I intend to invoke the Philadelphia clause at every opportunity. The post was the official introduction of the cover of A Farewell to Arfs, the next Chet and Bernie novel, coming August 6, pre-orderable now. The nephelococcygia element in the upper left corner  appeared completely by accident, according to the Forge Books art dept. I take it for a sign! Even – going was too far, no surprise there – a seal of approval.
