The album's title and cover artwork originated from a [[calendar]] DeLonge had purchased. His day job in the first years of the band was hauling bags of concrete. While at work at an industrial park warehouse, a foreign salesman going door-to-door approached him with the calendar, which showcased photographs of cats.<ref name="91x2020"/> DeLonge found the calendars offbeat and showed Hoppus, who likened a photo of a [[Siamese cat]] with intensely colored eyes to the famous character from the [[Lewis Carroll]] novel ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]''.<ref name="shooman24"/><ref name=p35>Hoppus, 2001. p. 35</ref> The band's request to use the photo was denied by the calendar company, however, the band employed Cargo's art department to [[Photo manipulation|computer enhance]] the photo until the band was safe from copyright infringement.<ref name="p35"/> DeLonge joked in 2020 that it was the "worst album cover ever".<ref name="91x2020">Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/LTZr1lRbIUI Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20200417093338/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTZr1lRbIUI Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTZr1lRbIUI|title=Marty & Danielle with Tom Delonge!|date=April 16, 2020|publisher=[[XETRA-FM|91X San Diego]], via [[YouTube]]|author1=((Marty Whitney (interviewer)))|author2=((Danielle Stuht (interviewer)))|author3=((Tom DeLonge (interviewee)))|access-date=April 17, 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
