Subtle Humor?

Here's one I did for Fark a while back... Photoshopping Beatle's album covers:

Does anybody get it? Maybe I was too subtle... or perhaps the reference was too dark (not meant to offend Beatles fans, being one myself).

Well, I'm not a huge Beatles fan by any means, but the only things out of place i noticed where the barefeet, and the cigarette which I don't remember.

Plus, Fark's photoshops are mostly awful.

It looks funny, for some reason. Yes, you can call me insane now.

Hmm. I see the cigarette, the bare feet... maybe in a diff. order? Not by death date, and George and John are the dead ones, and on the outside... I'm really not sure.

Yeah, the deaths. Of course, the original spurred rumors that Paul was dead... so here, 35 years later, we have two "more". I'll give you credit for "getting it".  wink.gif

Actually, what's funny about the cigarette, is that it was airbrushed out of current covers a while back - which is why it might look out of place.  blink.gif

Here's the original cover art for Abbey Road

For the record, I can't find any difference for the life of me (EDIT: aside from the bare feet, of course)

Maybe you took the shoes off of the dead Beatles...I dunno...::shrug::

EDIT:  ...for any Beatles fans reading...I meant to say, "those Beatles that are no longer with us"

Cause he's still alive.

Don't you know? Paul died back when that album came out - that's the reason he was in bare feet in the picture.

He's been replaced with a look-a-like.

Yeah man, this is pretty common knowledge.
