Octothorpe 63: Nonsense Divide

Three humanoid figures hold lightsabers and stand against a futuristic cityscape reminiscent of Coruscant. The leftmost looks like John, but is clad in the clothes of Luke Skywalker. The middle figure looks like Alison, but she’s green and looks quite a lot like Yoda. The rightmost looks like Liz, clad in the clothes of Rey Skywalker. The words “Octothorpe 63” adorn the top of the image in the distinctive typeface of Star Wars.

Octothorpe 60: Different Types of Tedium

A three-by-three grid of images generated by DALL-E with the prompt "cover art for Octothorpe podcast". They are quite surreal, often involve figures, and are mostly in shades of green and pink with one black and white one. They almost give an impression of Lovecraftian tutti-frutti.
Art by DALL-E via Bridget Bradshaw.
