A dynamic, whimsical illustration brings together the main elements prominently featured in the center of the cover are a pair of oversized camo cargo shorts, rendered in a Kurt Vonnegut-inspired art style. The cargo shorts have an intricate camo pattern, with one pant leg showcasing a rugged mountain morphing into a haunted house set ablaze against a full moon and starry night sky. The other pant leg incorporates a sci-fi twist, where an alien spaceship zooms out from the left pocket in a radiant, spiraling contrail that ascends diagonally. From the opposite pocket, a cartoonish orc wielding a colorful AK-47 peeks out playfully, while a mischievous, evil-looking cat peeks from the left cargo pocket. The background is a soft, light teal, with whimsical starry accents scattered subtly around the shorts, giving a science fiction vibe while still remaining calm and clean.

The oversized cargo shorts are the star, serving as both the cover’s focal point and a clever nod to the book’s playful title, "Shorts." The detailed elements within the camo pattern—like the mountain, haunted house, and spaceship—serve as mini-stories in themselves, teasing the imaginative anthology within. Typography choices like the bold, hand-drawn title and minimal typewriter-styled subtitle keep the literary tone while complementing the whimsical design. The placement of illustrations, title, and subtitle ensures a balanced composition that draws the viewer’s eye while creating a clean yet dynamic layout. Matte paper with spot gloss serves the dual purpose of giving the cover a polished, professional finish while highlighting its quirky, fun details, making it visually memorable on a bookshelf or display.
