Another tough one to vote for. My thoughts exactly... Though I know of several covers out there (all U.S. books) that haven't been posted yet. |

My question too. I thought a kilt was specific to the Scottish Highlands. |

Technically, no... Mister Spaceman is correct. For example, a Greek "man skirt" is actually called a fustanella. But not everyone knows the difference, so I suppose for purposes of this thread, it's "close enough for jazz." Whether it's exact or not, I am just appreciating all the entries this week... Some of them I've never seen before! Keep 'em coming, we still have several days left before voting!  |

I say absolutely not (tho I'm seeing several covers I bypassed for that reasoning).
but as always, if you don't think a cover meets the criteria, simply don't vote for it.. so not calling anyone (s) out.

There are far less Uncle Scrooge in a kilt covers in existence than I'd have imagined.

That's true, but believe it or not, a little bird told me that there are several other Dell/Gold Key/Western/Whitman titles with kilt covers... And they're not all film or classic literature adaptations either. Just saying. And this is where my hint-dropping ends.(cue tuneless whistling here) |

And they're not all film or classic literature adaptations either. Just saying. And this is where my hint-dropping ends.(cue tuneless whistling here) We might have better participation with a few more clues. I have NEVER spent so much time trying to think of ways to search for an appropriate cover. I'd give up and then try again a few hours later. Eventually, I searched for "Classic Comics" and "Scotland" hoping that a Sir Walter Scott adaptation that I hadn't already looked for might show up, and I got The Scottish Chiefs. (Which isn't Sir Walter Scott.) I was thinking it had already been used, but then I remembered that Classic Comics would reprint their stories years later with different covers. Coincidentally, I was just researching The Scottish Chiefs by Jane Porter a few weeks ago. I read a lot of Southern US history, and I've been very interested in Sir Walter Scott's influence on the romanticism of the antebellum South. Mark Twain even went so far as to blame Scott for the Civil War! So I read Scott every once in a while, and I just finished a biography of Bonnie Prince Charlie, whose 1745 adventure to take back the English crown for the Stuarts is the subject of Scott's Waverley (which is my favorite of Scott's novels). My recent Internet foray into why the South was so obsessed with Scotland and Sir Walter turned up an article on Jane Porter's The Scottish Chiefs, which was a very popular book in the U.S. in the early 1800s. I also came across an article about Jefferson Davis visiting Scotland in the 1870s and playing tourist at the site of the Battle of Culloden, but that's neither here nor there! |

(Now bagpipes! There's a cover contest! I found a Little Dot cover with bagpipes that I found amusing. I also found a humor comic with a girl using the bagpipes as a vacuum cleaner! Neither was appropriate for this contest.)
