I don't know if this has been brought up before but Revolver came out before the supposed death of James Paul, right? My question to all you believers out there is why does the drawing of Paul on the cover look more like "Faul" then James Paul?
This is what it looks like to me, but a fading picture thing that you do with the profiles of both "Faul" and Paul would settle it in my mind.

Revolver's cover, is a characature, agreed?
We recognize that the medium of characature has basis in stylistic exageration; unrealistic emphasis on notable personal features are intended to evoke a mood and an "essence" of the person. I see a certain mood of Paul in that profile, a artist, somewhat visionary, a young English pop musician living the zeitgeist of the 60's.
Since Bill bore resemblance going out the gate, of course there are things that seem like him.
Paul's drawing is in profile, but incomplete. The arc of the back of his head is undrawn, what with all those smaller photos matted in there. If the whole circle of his head were evident, it might more strongly evoke Paul.
But, yes, the line of profile, discounting the ears (which I think would be higher for a rendering of Bill) actually does seem a bit of Bill.
But it's a funny set of pics. Nobody has a nose that long as Lennon's pic; and where's the slight bent place? George's eyes are like ET, or a cat. And Ringo looks like Barbra Streisand's brother in this cartoon.

Ive always thought there was something strange about the charicatures on the revolver cover and ive just realisied what it is. Georges eyes and lips and Johns ear are genuine photos, but of theirs or someone elses?

It's probably their own eyes, etc. Klaus Voormann did the artwork. |
