All right.
There are a lot of makeovers in this book, and I can see how they relate to the theme, plot, crime and punishment.
But is there any reason to make me the object of such wholesale repositioning? Was I not a handsome bloke just as I was, pulling down my curtain like some crafty peeping tomcat?
Nobody asked me if I wanted to share my solo cover status with bits and pieces of my Miss Temple. Granted her bits and pieces are tasty, but I am not one for double billing.
I must admit that at least the new cover representation emphasizes my sleek and muscular physique. The previous artistic portrayal was a little porky in the rear area.
And this is the first time that readers can see my keen and suspicious green eyes in living color.
Plus my natty white whiskers.
Maybe it is not such a bad renovation, after all.
Call it Cat Eye for the Crooked Guy. I can be as media-hot as the next fad.
Very best fishes,
Midnight Louie, Esq.
