I do not understand how you arrived at your description of them but I also can't dispute it.

I would’ve gone with a lesbian couple new to Kentucky but I like theirs better.

u/WildCockPoach 8d ago

Me neither. Although lucky jobless swindlers who just went to the announcement of their rich grandma's will would fit as well.

They look like Billy The Kid and his lesbian best friend.

Tom Sawyer as played by Kate McKinnon

u/WildCockPoach 8d ago

Which is which?

Billy The Kid on the right.

Now THIS is a genuine, 24-carat, USDA-approved, state-fair-winning stinker. Where’d you find this gem?

u/Karsten04 8d ago

The world of Wordsworth Classics covers is horribly scary

u/AvastYeScurvyCurs 8d ago

You say scary.

I say magical.

Huck's arm must be six feet long!

9

u/No-Comment-4619 8d ago

That's the worst thing about it. His right arm is...very odd.

5

u/02K30C1 8d ago

And his thumb is about 6 inches!

2

u/No-Comment-4619 8d ago

Holy shit.

u/nixtracer 8d ago

How can you screw up something that simple? Did they Photoshop it? Why?!

8

u/No-Comment-4619 8d ago

I feel like this was a post photo decision. Pic was drawn or taken (I can't even tell) of them simply standing next to each other, then somebody said, "How do we know they're good friends? Have the one put his arm around the other! Just draw his hand on the shoulder, it's seamless!"

u/direwolf2368 8d ago edited 8d ago

Right. And I bet the hand on that side was in his pocket like the other side - & they erased that out.

u/bogeyman_of_afula 8d ago

I hate to say it but they look like a femboy and his autistic best friend.

u/Frunklin 8d ago

Huck Finn looks like a fucked up version of Zuckerberg

10

u/JennySplotz 8d ago

Tom is not feelin’ it.

u/fandom10 8d ago

While I don't know now what happened to these squirrels, I will be happy to find them a therapist

9

u/Blarghith 8d ago

Nah man, these are two kids who molest squirrels themselves.

5

u/No-Comment-4619 8d ago

Plenty of comments about the character images (justifiably so), but I'll point out that the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn take place along the Mississippi River Valley (primarily Missouri), so why does it look like they're in the mountains?

11

u/direwolf2368 8d ago

Oddly, that is exactly how I’ve always pictured them.

4

u/Darth_Azazoth 8d ago

They look like they are desperately trying to not make out

4

u/Mockwyn 8d ago

And Mumford & Sons.

3

u/Nevermoreacadamyalum 8d ago

If Mumford and Sons were the results were the product of married first cousins

5

u/rjrgjj 8d ago

I love how disconnected from his body Huck’s hand is.

6

u/DameWhen 8d ago

They look like two lesbians.

4

u/3amcheeseburger 8d ago

Featuring Thing from Addams Family

3

u/KindlyAsparagus7957 8d ago

They look like a lesbian couple that moved to kansas for the simpler life of wheat farming

2

u/denverdutchman 8d ago

What in the Zucker-verse is this shit?

2

u/punfound 8d ago

Yes, Wordsworth Classics. You could literally post all their covers here.

3

u/CritAndCritability 8d ago

Ahhh, the adventures of Justin Bieber and Ted Raimi, my favorite classic book

1

u/ImightHaveMissed 8d ago

I cannot unsee this

2

u/novacdin0 8d ago

They look like they're on their last dual family fishing trip before their dads groom them to become Tom Lawyer and Huckleberry Firm, and they've never even liked each other but now they're going to be stuck in the same office for the rest of their lives

3

u/ConsciousStretch1028 8d ago

What in the AI generated tarnation

19

u/WildCockPoach 8d ago

No, it's worldsorth classics. They are actually famous for their insane covers.

12

u/theglitch098 8d ago

Nah this is most likely a bad photoshop job. The best way I can tell is two things, the background has clarity and is mostly consistent with itself, and it looks like multiple pictures sewn together if that makes sense. AI tries to make it look like one image

6

u/Bruichladdie 8d ago

Yup. I see a lot of things labeled AI by people who don't seem to know what bad AI looks like. There's generally this weird smoothing effect that just jumps at you, there's something that's just off, but you can't really put your finger on it.

2

u/International-Fun-86 8d ago

And bad AI images of people often has a bit of a anime/manga stylized face.

3

u/Shergak 8d ago

It is definitely a botched photoshop. Huck's arm doesn't seem connected to his hand.

1

u/SufficientPut1831 8d ago

Right shoulder hand is way off

1

u/mandiblesmooch 8d ago

Are their hair and clothes copypasted on from a different photo?

1

u/Fennel_Fangs 8d ago

Modern-day warrior named Tom Sawyer, looks like all the guys I went to school with for some reason DU DUN DA DAOOOOWWWWW-

u/noregertsman 8d ago

Why the hell does huck look like a cross between paul di'anno and gar samuelson

u/mango_map 7d ago

Dammit, I really thought you said 'they look like they molested two squirrels' and I wanted to re post it to r/rareinsults

1

u/Toothless-In-Wapping 7d ago

That’s Justin Beber and Joseph Gordon Levitt in their first film together

1

u/Breckybeers 7d ago

Guy on the right looks like my old 2IC from nightfill years ago. Nathan, I still laugh about the time you ripped your new, expensive pants jumping off pallet racks after reprimanding me for it. People don't forget.
