Best things about this cover:

• Good boy. Stay.
• Dude's "Down Dog" sucks.
• She has awesome Disappointment Face.
• We've seen this book before, under different cover.

Best things about this back cover:

• Aw, man, it's even got the same back cover copy as the last version
• Apparently this is the story of a man who got a police badge tattooed on his penis, which then got infected. Edgy.
• This book should've been called "Ask Margo" or "That Woman Gag."
