Hack wrote this in response to the controversy surrounding movie posters and book covers that depict women’s body parts without showing their heads. He decided to do a gender switch and show Jonny and Boris’ posteriors adorned in thongs while the only face gracing the scene is the gorgeous Commie spy they’re saving the American way of life from. No one picked up on the ironic point Hack was trying to make but the book’s sales were boosted by weight loss clinics that used the cover as a appetite suppressant.
