will be fixing that immediately. The covers are worth the price!

19. Totally.

The instinct to communicate, and leave a mark, is as basic as those primordial cave drawings. It's just in us as humans. THE original basic instinct. It's just built in. We can't help it.

This magazine cover looks like it's depicting a vision of Hell.

[ReRe]

17. K&R

No periodical in the USA can beat the New Yorker for cover art. Some day there will be a New Yorker Art Museum. Thanks kpete.

20. Great cover. Best since Pres Obama feeding medicine to the Repub leadership

THAT was a real winner. Nobody does covers like The New Yorker.

21. I've heard people say a painting could bring tears, but don't think I've ever experienced it before.

I grew up only minutes from Ferguson and this image stuns me.
