I stumbled upon something on Derpibooru, and I wanted to get some input in a decision regarding Parallel Universes for Dummies. To whit, should I replace its current cover art, which is this:
with this:
My concern was that it may be misleading. I didn't want people going into this only to be disappointed by the lack of sexuality and/or Kill la Kill references.
The reason I'm using the past tense is that the matter has been resolved; I took a third option and replaced the old, fuzzy image with a cleaner version provided by KingMoriary. Thanks to everyone who responded.
What confusion there may be will be more than amply compensated for by the utter hilarity of that second pic.
As an alternative, here's a non-compressed version of the original cover art:

But personally, I'd say this new cover art is hilarious enough to slot in great.
I think not.
Funny pic tho.
Dat Flash is just too sexy for his waifu...
The new pic is an accurate expressionist take on Twilight's reaction.
Plus, you know, you can just put in that it doesn't contain Nudists, Disco-Mom, or shoes.
This is not just something that you should do, but that you must do.
I prefer the original, plays up the original situation in "Friendship Games".
Chalk me up as one of those who don't see the humor. Look for something that better fits your story.
Are you trying to antagonise the Flashlight hatedom? Because that's a perfectly fine goal and one I support wholeheartedly.
I like the first one.

The thing is, since it's an Equestria Girls story, it very emphatically contains shoes. I don't think we've ever seen a toe in the movies.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I've decided to go with KingMoriarty's generously provided third option and use a cleaned-up version of the screenshot. Sorry to those of you who were hoping for Flash Sentry as an exposition-spouting compulsive stripper.

Aww...

3863524 Glad I was able to provide a solution.

STOP! PEDANT TIME!

Actually, we have. During the first round of the Battle of the Bands in Rainbow Rocks, Rarity's bizarre hippie outfit had open-toe platform shoes.

(There were also the flip-flops in the hula bit in that one short.)

Huh. I stand corrected. Well, that's why I rarely use definitive, absolute language. I could always be wrong.
