The upper middle “head” part looks like an old Iron Maiden poster.

Jesus obviously has a nasty skin condition, probably from all the sandstorms.

I agree with a previous poster, I also see a klan meeting taken from behind.

If it got thousands of people writing their congressmen to fund more studies of and a faster manned mission to Mars, then yes, it’s Jesus and Mary can be seen near the north pole and a passable Last Supper not far from Mons Olympus.

Ok I outlined the “figure” but I have to say it looks more like a samurai doing a karate pose to me…

It’s a Visigoth. Alaric, maybe. I for one want to be the first to welcome our new martian visigothic overlords.

I can see a young Pete Townshend or maybe an Egyptian gorilla (nuzzling against him with a sort of robe on its head). The big dinosaur footprint toward the bottom right is pretty impressive.

I can sort of imagine the stereotypic picture of jesus, arms down his along sides, palms forward, looking down and to the left, if I don’t look directly at it. As a “practising” atheist I find how easily I see this disturbing.

Perhaps the “cloaked figure of Jesus” is meant in the Star Trek sense – we can’t see him because he’s cloaked…?

It’s Elvis. He’s been trapped on Mars this whole time. Those crazy, prankster alien doods left him there after he dissed their high monarch, calling him a rutabaga-brained, monkey-fart.

You’re all suffering from blindness! It is Edward Munch’s “The Scream”! Look at the hands to the left and right of the face and the terrified facial expression, then compare it to this photography:

@73: so finally someone else saw it, too.
I was afraid I’m the only one.
Clearly, it is Emperor Palpatine.
Only alternative is, it could be a hooded Obi-Wan.
But in any case, you can only see it if you feel….. THE FORCE.

Oooo… One decent single malt and the only thing I’ll see…… is a few more decent single malts.

I’m only on my second rum&coke, but I see Emperor Palpatine. I’m surprised no one else here has said that. On the other hand, another 2 R&C’s and I’ll see all sorts of things.

What rum are you imbibing? One decent single malt and I’m seeing Darth Vader. Two single malts and I’ll see his twin brother too.

Where is the imagination?
Frankenstein, Nebraska, a cat head, an owl, an old crone, another martian face and Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas. They’re all there!

Actually, I saw it right away. Don’t look right at the picture. Look at a point a little bit off to the left, and your peripheral vision fills in the shape pretty well.

It’s definitely Jesus. You just have to imagine him with very large and dreadfully lopsided breasts.

It took a little looking, but the first thing that came to mind when I looked at it was some sort of nun looking character, facing to the right. And praying. To what I would swear were a pair of Jawa seen from behind…

Here’s the outline I did:

Chris A. it looks like a Predator getting his nose pinched by Slimer from Ghostbusters.

as for the clocked figure above… alledgedly… if i squint with my eyes half closed i can see what someone might think is a man in a clock, but it appears to be either Emperor Palpatine, or Death, or possible Mort?

Chris A., what’s so rude about an Opabinia regalis?
