Wha? The only face on the back cover of the Fool's album is that of the Statue
of Liberty. Front cover has the group members, and they are included in
various mug shots on the inside left. Inside right is a Peter Max-ish
illustration, incl. UFOs, some mushroom-shaped gazebos, some magician chaps in
pointed hats, etc. Something of a William Blake feel to it as well. Nothing
that could be a Pynchonian face anywhere.
