Welcome to another edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography! I’m sure you’ve all been dying to find out what Candy Cane Guy’s been up to since the last time we visited him, right? Just nod and smile, everyone. 🙂

I’m going to end the story here, so you can all gawk at that cover. Yes, that really is Candy Cane Guy’s body. See?
“Oh no, now there are mutant naughty boys?! Eeeeek!” -Mayhem
Wow, that is quite the photoshop job on that last one…

He got wings, good for you candy cane guy
A recent post from blodeuedd..Review- Dragon Haven – Robin Hobb another tradition post
Eeeek is right May! I don’t know what’s worse – the cover of Carnal Ecstasy or Road to Paradise. *shudders*
A recent post from orannia..Archangels Consort Nalini Singh
His buddy on the After Anna cover looks like that guy from The Blue Lagoon.
And the last cover – did they just put on a whole new head?
As always, great job with the story, Chris!
And Mayhem, I’m right there with you baby.
Mayhem looks a tad frightening there. Demon cat.
I have to admit CCG’s new head doesn’t look TOO bad, but it must be weird to find your body with another head on it. LOL And why did they flip the picture? That’s kind of weird.
A recent post from Tam..The Long and the Short of It
Is that really CCG in the last picture? If so, I hope the royalties are good…
A recent post from Brigitte..Its Been a Year!!
Photosphopped in tighy-whities. Gah.
A recent post from trek..Lift- carry- drag- sweep- repeat
I’m really mad those models got holes in my jeans.
Um. Wow. I think May has a point. (Okay, several pointy bits…)
A recent post from naomi..weekend eye candy and randomness
Okay… I got no snark… I just hadn’t realized that the guy from Diving in Deep really WAS CCG! I’m impressed– he’s actually REALLY HOT from the neck up, too!
OMG, hilarious. Poor Candy Cane guy’s head! Do you have a special computer program to recognize his torso?
A recent post from Carolyn Crane..Newsy and exciting! Now updated with mystery veggies
Ouch, a head transplant? I liked his face just fine the way it was! 🙂
A recent post from Lily..A handful of minis
That last cover is really funnier than it has any right to be. I’m not sure which is worse: the 5 o’clock shadow with its apparent stripes or the really stupid looking tattoo in the middle of the chest.
I’m pretty sure that if a guy has gotten a tattoo on the chest then there should be an army of tattoos over the rest of the body. I’m much more likely to see a full sleeve with a chest piece than the chest piece alone.

The GPS thing is HILARIOUS! I also had to stop and stare At Love’s Command because it took me forever to realize the artist hadn’t fucked up and given CCG four arms, but that a man was standing behind CCG fondling his be-toweled goods. But what fun if he HAD fucked up…
The guy on the right on the cover of After Anna looks like Willie Ames circa Blue Lagoon.
A recent post from katiebabs..Blameless Book Review Gail Carriger
Thats all the same guy? Are you sure??
Wow – poor boy must be knackered after all that no wonder he looks so ragged in the last one!
I’ve never been more shocked!
A recent post from margene..Foody Weekend
I’ve always thought that Candy Cane guy looks like a little kid – nice body tho. But that head-shopped one…Carnal Ecstasy…scary!
I think I’m going to have to start paying better attention to covers… Was actually called out on one cover this weekend – it wasn’t even racy…but did have an appropriate title for today “Nauti Boys”
After all these CCG posts, I can spot him at a glance – it’s the belly button. He’s got an odd outie. I do like him best on Diving In Deep, but did the cover artist photoshop out his belly button?? It can’t be hiding under his crossed arms – that would be way too high up. And didn’t they smooth out his lower abs in that pic? It almost looks like he has a soft tummy. …I bet that isn’t even his stomach! Poor CCG 🙁
A recent post from Ava March..His Client – Release Date
The mind boggles.
Oh yes, there have always been mutant naughty boys, Mayhem. Check out Chaos. 😉
A recent post from Carrie K..May All Your Dream Come Trough
ewwww… now they are switching heads on the bodies too? hmmm. I see potential for a whole new series emerging here, Chris. gack!
Don’t you know that every time a bell rings a CCG gets his wings?
Aye… I think I agree with May, some of those naughty boys are mutants. I think I’ll go bleach my eyes out after that last cover. 😉
A recent post from Sydney..What I was doing when I should have been posting here
*nodding and smiling*
Whoa, that’s quite the extended narrative!
A recent post from Val Kovalin..Trinity Trespass release date is today!
um, why is he called “candy cane guy”? I see no candy cane…. what am I missing??
A recent post from Kaetrin..Shades of Gray by Brooke McKinley
Ah, if you’ve only recently joined us, you should definitely go back to the very first Candy Cane Guy post so you understand the name!
Poor CCG. I hate it when busted GPSs cause you to get cast from heaven. Stupid technology.
I’m with Carolyn – do you have CCG recognition software?!?!?
They did not have a class on transplanting faces at Photoshop World. I feel cheated.
Oh dear – the last guy was um special…
