Scary, that's who.
And you can't convice me that the mime is Bobby Z. It's a chick, and it looks like Wendy. Didn't Bobby have a mustache?

Nice description, a mime!!! A sad mime!

Yeah, for a place that's supposed to be Eden, nobody looks like they're having much fun. Besides Ziggy Tranniedust over there.

Wendy(bikini clad) sure does too..and that clown looks like a killer and that b-52 is going to hit that dove!

That place would give me a headache! Too much going on.

seems trppy..Id climb the mountain lick

Not if I got there first oral

Okay so let's recap...

Prince is obviously the character sitting down in the Raspberry Beret outfut playing The Cloud guitar, but also the "grim reaper" guy in white.

Dr. Fink is very easy to identify.

Wendy is the girl dressed like the one in the Raspberry Beret video (indicating sex with her fingers) as is Lisa (sitting down with the violin).

My only two questions are who is the b!@#h supposed to be licking the ice cream in the red wig and is the pale-faced dude with the tambourine supposed to be Bobby Z? Why didn't he include Brown Mark?

The three guys in ropes always reminded me of the outfit the Madhouse-guys wore while supporting Prince during the SOTT-Tour. Although none of the guys on the ATWIAD-cover looks like Eric Leeds . . . but they wore the same robes on stage in 1987. Just a remark.

The smiling girl stood behind Mr Cloud-Suit guy workin' the Princess Leia off-the-shoulder hooker number is actually silent movie actress Clara Bow. Billed as "The It Girl", Bow personified the glamorous American woman of the time.
Boy, was she ever pretty... touched

God, Im glad my expensive Media Technology course finally paid dividends! lol

PS: Spooky fact: In 1922, 17-year-old Clara Bow won a fan-magazine contest as...
"The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." omfg

oh, so that would explain Wendy's whole outfitt/getup in the "raspberry beret" video(didn't look like something she would wear on her own)...since she "remined him of clara bow"

Now here's my whole take on the cover:

Violin girl= lisa
cloud suit guy= brownmark
bra & skirt girl= wendy (never noticed the whole indicated sex thing...lol)
white-faced person= bobby
guy in white robe= Prince
the other two in robes= miko & jerome
old man with cane= Jonh L. Nelson
...and well, I think it's pretty obvious who Dr. Fink is lol

As far as all of the other people on the cover, maybe they're all just characters from the songs

And the dog was supposed to be a dog that Prince had gotten around that time

I do remember someone saying that the mountain was supposed to be Susannah...lol

Uptown done an article on the artwork of this cover.

I think they said that Prince was the one with the Ice Cream!!!

Go and have a read, it's interesting as to what they say.
