Cover Description

Label with "TIDDLEDY" (red (darker at bottom of each letter) with black outline and slight shadow to lower right) appears at top left over a pale blue background.

"WINKS" (blue (lighter at top of each letter) with black outline) appears on a diagonal at lower right on a white, angled rectangle.

A male hand appears at upper right, with a jacket sleeve in blue with black crosshatches over a white shirt sleeve. He is holding a red squidger on a blue wink on a table with a tan/pale green appearance.

At lower left is a tan pot that curves inward just below the top, then outward, then inward near the base, and then there is a wider base. Five winks are in the air above and to the lower left of the pot, plus a white one on the table to the pot's lower right.

"McLoughlin" above "Bros." above "New York." (in red) appears on a yellow banner that curves around the white rectangle with "WINKS", which appears above the publisher's name.
