New album cover artwork?

I was browsing Amazon today....

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Ergo, with all due respect, why is he pictured on this album?

EDIT: added the why to the query.

That's what I was thinking. I mean, if they want to add a character, at least make some sense to the listeners. After Days to Remember and The Changing Times' album covers, I'm definitely questioning the album art that the AIO team have been releasing...

I think the only way they could've included a kid character - one familiar enough to the audience - and remained faithful to the Odyssey "timeline" would've been to use Mandy. But since she's already on an album cover... perhaps Liz Horton?

I don't know why it's such a big deal. Who are the kids on the covers on "In Your Wildest Dreams"?
(hopefully soon to be changed!)

That girl is probably Mandy Straussberg. The boy couldn't be Marvin...

I don't know, but why would they even decide to put Marvin on that artwork?? It doesn't make any sense at all. At least in the In your Wildest Dreams, they don't try to say that it's Jimmy. Do they? No, because it doesn't make sense. Neither does having Marvin on an album way before his time...

I still maintain the updated version of Album 31 is the best repack cover yet. :noway:

Actually, the more I look at the new artwork, the more I like it...

Haha, I didn't mean to start more controversy. AIO is trying to reach as many people as possible. If we're going to be picky about which characters they may or may not be, how about when the scenes depicted aren't accurate to their shows? Wait! Don't start! =;

This one I'm totally o.k. with. The whole style of artwork goes with Kidsboro. It fits.

I emailed the person that sends the new cover art out to all the fan sites and asking if it was marvin or not, here was their response:

Better yet, why are fourteen-year-olds drawing on cardboard podiums with crayons?

But I do like the beady eyes.
