COVER CONTEST Feb 7-Feb 13 WINGED ANIMALS

[Shalla Bal]

This week's topic: post a cover that features an animal or animal-like creature that has wings.

A couple of things to make it more challenging:

• The animal cannot be a human...or resemble a human being...or be a human-looking alien creature or robot. So this rules out the Angel, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, etc.
• The animal cannot be part of a species or group that usually has wings in real life, such as birds, pterodactyls, insects, bats, etc.
  The key here is that the animal shouldn't normally have wings in real life. So a kitty cat with wings is allowed; but a giant monster eagle is not allowed, since in real life eagles have wings.

The rules:
1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume!
3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or another volunteer surrogate, usually WestPhillyPunisher, thank you in advance WPP!). Winner picks the new topic.


Here's my cover...and away we go! Have fun everyone

I couldn't find a larger image. Sorry.

The Wuzzles are a strange mix. Butterbear makes sense having wings, since she's a combo of a bear and a butterfly, naturally. But Rhinokey is a rhino and a monkey-- neither are known for having little round wings. Hoppopotamus is a rabbit and a hippo-- also not known for avian features. Now that I think about it, all the main Wuzzles had wings whether their component animals have them or not. Were they magic? Were they vestigial?

Clearly, my brain is going to spend the next 12 hours tossing these thoughts around instead of letting me sleep...

I have no idea what this is, but it usually doesn't have wings, or so the internet says on the blog I posted to both my followers (thanks, Mom, and Mom's fake account).

Flying monkeys!
Welcome to the circus that has flying monkeys!
Flying monkeys!
Welcome to the circus that has flying monkeys!

Watch them as they tumble through the breeze.
Watch them as they swing on the trapeze.
They are the most amazing thing you ever sees.
Flying monkeys! Flying monkeys!



And I think we can all agree that something has to be done about the Flying Gorilla Menace.
