Same Place the Fly Got Smashed
A high-contrast red and white photo of a man's face, his hand holding a cigarette to his lips. The album title is written in large letters at the top, and the band name appears in a cloud-like shape superimposed over the man's hand. In the lower left is an incongruous clown illustration.
