"I came up with the concept of the girl with the smoking gun," Livermore told Riot Fest in a 2021 interview. "I can come up with ideas and relay them to an artist, but I can't draw at all. I went to Chris Appelgren, one of my main co-conspirators at Lookout!, and told him what I was envisioning. He drew it, but it wasn't quite right yet, so he drew it again, and everybody said, 'Yeah, that looks cool, but she looks too much like Chris's girlfriend,' which she did. The third time he drew it, that's the cover that became famous and is now on a whole lot of t-shirts."
