The shorts are meant to be a tongue-in-cheek representation of the book’s title, humorously drawing readers in with their quirky details while maintaining a light and modern aesthetic through the pastel backdrop. The typography—particularly the hand-drawn font—is a deliberate nod to Kurt Vonnegut's cover styles, which often used imperfect and slightly whimsical lettering to set a relatable, offbeat tone for readers. The matte cover material complements the playful tone by giving the book a down-to-earth feel, while the embossing adds an engaging, tactile dimension that reflects the book's layer of subtle yet sharp humor.
