The album's title (a German onomatopoeia for a loud pop or bang) and cover art are derived from a comic strip named "Der tödliche Finger" that appeared in a 1970 issue of Hotcha, a Swiss underground newspaper.[15] Different panels of the same strip were adapted into cover art for other early Stereolab releases, and remain popular icons for the band.
