I enjoyed doing the gag covers better than the story ones because they were usually simpler. A cover based on an incident in the plot took a great deal of staging to tell a little story that was still part of the book. And it had to make sense on its own.
“I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames, I'm really into them.”
“Unfortunately, my district like many others across the country has a problem with gangs, which is why I introduced this amendment.”
