Weirdness: What if Publishers Were Forced to Use ClipArt for Game Covers?

If you’re anything like this editor, you’ll have fond memories of ClipArt. Decorating school reports with dodgy pictures was a real highlight of this writer’s formative years, and we suspect that it was the same for many of you.
