This is absolutely an improvement. It gets the point of it across in a visual instant.

Yeah, original cover does not convey "may contain lols". Your version is much better-- fun without being silly or worse, "zany". Distinguished humor for the intelligent chuckler.

That is a really good point about the original cover. It's very staid isn't it? Especially considering the contents! I suspect the people searching for reference were a little surprised by the Scrappy Doo rating, though it was accurate.

I also appreciate your stance on AI. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about it, or with it. It has to be good for something, right? It makes it hard to find a place to build a portfolio that isn't going to just scrape it for AI chum though.

I think that's an eye-catching idea for a cover. You get the idea immediately and the absurd variety of things that are going to be rated. The pages pop out against the dark wood.

So, ah, what are you looking for? Cartoons? Realism? Realistic cartoons?

I have no idea if this is gauche, so forgive me if this Isn't How Things Are Done, but if you're looking:

@monstersnweirdos on Insta, speaking of scraping, but it has more of my more recent cartoon type work.

I'm quite reasonable.
