PAINTIN OF ALIEN FROM COMMUNION?

February 19, 2008 11:23 AM

Does anyone know who created the now famous painting of an alien that is featured on the cover of Whitley Strieber's COMMUNION?

That is my question.

That is all.

I APOLOGIZE for two reasons.

ONE: I should have written "PAINTING" and not "PAINTIN."

TWO: The answer is "TED SETH JACOBS."

Sorry to have wasted this resourced. I shall not make the error again.

That is all.

It's a 'Grey'.

When I was young and impressionable, I took too much of what I read on FidoNET as gospel. But listen, they made a boat disappear; a whole fucking boat!

My mother was involved in the movie of Communion, which starred Mr. Christopher Walken as Whitley Strieber. I seem to remember that she wasn't sure whom she thought was more odd, Walken or Strieber--though this memory may have been implanted by aliens.

Will this be a new area of your expertise? The truth is out there, Hodgman. Keep looking, and trust NO ONE. Especially not AskMe posters. They're in on it. And I have good reason to believe that Matt, Cortex and/or Jessamyn may themselves be grays. In fact, you can regularly see them posting on MetaTalk--the gray pages. I don't think that is a coincidence.

[cue the muffled sounds of black helicopters, and the click of "derail" flags--if this post is deleted, you'll know I was on to something.]
