The cover depicts a New York City subway rider reading a newspaper splashed with the headlines, 'Oh, sweet Jesus please god, no," "Anything but that," and, "Come on."

The illustrator Barry Blitt said the cover will be relevant after next week's election results are revealed, "whether it's one or the other."

"And it's nice to take a break and not have to draw Trump - or Hillary, for that matter," Blitt told the magazine.
