The cover of NEANDERTHIN was designed by a professional graphic designer
whose credentials are world-class. He worked as a personal assistant to
Ross Perot for eight or nine years and was vice-president of Perot's
company's in-house graphics department. I assure you that we intended no
sexual innuendo by the cover design. It is very much in line with the
NeanderThin message of "naked with a sharp stick." Some people see
phallic images wherever they look. To paraphrase Sigmund Freud,
"Sometimes a spear is just a spear." Why waste lifeforce worrying about
such a petty matter?
