Dedicated Idiocy: How Monty Python Fandom Changed My Life
Cover Designer: Alyce Wilson
Comments about cover design
For my memoir about my experiences in a Monty Python appreciation society, I wanted to create a book cover that captured the spirit of Monty Python. What better way to do this than to borrow the same foot from a classical painting that has become synonymous with MPFC? I paired this with a period photo of my group looking silly and used a bright background and a font that imitated the grandiose font used in many Monty Python publications. My husband, a web designer, provided some tips on colors and the overall look. Since the book is Kindle-only, I did not include the subtitle on the cover, which would only have cluttered it up and made it harder to read.
I like the MOnte Pythin Reference. Great cover, lots of action and fun. 🙂
gotta love the Monty Python reference

That’s some pretty funny stuff – I look forward to seeing the rest. I immediately started looking for myself in the photo (since I date back to “the day”), but I don’t think I’m visible. Since I hide from cameras, that’s not much of a surprise, really! I got involved after the infamous protest against captive holes, and the epic scaling of the walk up the sidewalk alongside Old Main, anyway. 😉
A simple cover design, but one where — because of that — the silliness really shines through. A real winner!
This book appears to be extremely silly and about highly silly people. No doubt the persons involved in making this cover are highly suspect individuals and a threat to prevailing moral order.
In short, I love it. Carry on, as you were.
great cover, I would buy it!
