◼ COVER TRAIL

How the cover

getsmade

①

“So this week’s story is

about these trolls

on Reddit who are

actually moving stocks

like Virgin Galactic and

Lumber Liquidators.”

“Wait. Aren’t those the

guys obsessed with

chicken tenders?”

[Emergency art

department meeting]

“We need to shoot

chicken tenders.”

“I’ve got four orders

ready. Say when.”

“We should probably

order extra, just in case.”

“I don’t think anyone

will understand what

this means.”

“So ... that’s a yes on

the tenders?”

②

“Needs more troll.”
