Anyone know the story with this book, Ka-zar 1?

I got this book in the Clink auction last night and looking at it afterwards, saw what it says on the slab.

 

The 1st notation is "Hidden profanity cover". I was never good at Finding Waldo and looking at the cover, i dont see the "hidden profanity".

 

What am i missing? Anyone know what the hidden profanity on the cover is?

The F-word is printed on top of Zabu's back adjacent to the palm tree on the left side.

Yep, what he said.

[sufunk]

WOW! Never would have seen that! Thats funny as hell!

 

Do either of you know what the back story to that is? Disgruntled artist i assume?

Link to previous discussion.

Thats a cool link but unless i missed it somewhere, it doesnt give the backstory to the f-word on the Kazar cover

I just got the book in hand today and for the life of me, i cant figure out how this whole "hidden profanity" thing started

 

Even with a magnifying glass, it doesnt look like the F-word. If anything, it looks more like it says "Fark". It really doesnt even look like an intentional word but even supposing that it was, it definitely doesnt look anything like the F-word.

 

I've checked a bunch of stories since i started this thread and havent read anything where the artist confirmed it so im starting to think this is all a big nothing story. It's a cool book but imo, there isnt any hidden profanity going on on the cover (thumbs u
