Illustrated cover, in the backround is a line drawing of the Saroyan Steps in California, in the foreground is a handsome white man with light brown hair, long and shaggy, and a scruffy beard, in a slate grey henley and dark jeans. He has one hand in his back pocket and the other is gesturing, low at his hip. Next to him stands a fat white woman with chin length hair, wearing a tee which had "BHE" which stands for Big Harpy Energy on it and jeans, She has her arms crossed in front of her and is leaning back slightly, looking up at him (he's much taller) with an "oh really?" expression in response to his smile and whatever ridiculous thing he's just said.
