While conducting research for his Dork Yearbook project, Joel did a Google image search for yearbook covers. I think this cover for Rochester, New York's West High School 1968 annual is a psychedelic masterpiece that absolutely embodies the genre of high school stoner art.

I LOVE the idea of thinking of high school stoner art as a genre.

It reminds me of the Cthulhuoid octomonster in the Watchmen comic!!
Makes me think this is what you would see on a medieval LSD crusader's shield.
That's nothing. My grandmother's yearbook (college?) had swastikas all over it and was named the Swastika. Pretty trippy when you first see it. You wonder if you've fallen into some parallel universe.
Damn Hitler! Made the school rename a perfectly fine yearbook that paid tribute to Native American culture.
Or a Jefferson Airplane concert poster.
Am I the only one that sees a goatse at the top (with the "1968" being the epicenter of the image)?
All the art on BoingBoing is high school stoner art!
that is totally from the court room scene in Chrono Trigger.
Awesome. Just awesome.
Or a concert poster for Jefferson Airplane.

Fantastic! This is far better than the gold-on-blue blandness so popular among most schools.
I'm sure that there's more going on in this particular cover than is apparent at first glance.
If you make the cover into cylinder, by joining the two vertical sides, you get an image of what looks like a looming building.
But I think there's even more going on. I suspect that the windows make up writing, but I can't decode it. The closest I come is that put together like this one line looks like it could start "FEAR". I have to squint to see that though.
Or perhaps a Mad Magazine style - put-together-to see-the-hidden-picture...
