headed back to New Hampshire. According to King, the band wanted to title the album Next Stop Rehab, "but Lookout in their infinite stupidity made us change it. They always were party poopers." Ultimately, Livermore was so disappointed by the recordings that he decided to remove his name from the album credits. "Move Back Home wasn't a terrible record", he wrote in his 2015 memoir. "Considering the state Joe and Hugh were in, it's impressive that it got made at all. Still, I was unhappy enough about it that I refused to let myself be credited as producer." "Larry should never have promised us the money", wrote King in 2007, saying that Screeching Weasel frontman Ben Weasel, who had produced the Queers' previous three albums, helped convince Livermore to take his name off the record. "Ben and others talked Larry into taking his name off the album as producer but we thought he did as good as anyone could have under the circumstances. Probably better." Artwork For the album cover, Lookout!'s Chris Appelgren wanted to use a design featuring the "Queers cat" mascot he had developed for the band based on old Felix the Cat images, and had used in the artwork for Love Songs for the Retarded (1993), Beat Off (1994), and Surf Goddess (1995). The band rejected his idea, however, in favor of a live performance photograph taken by Lookout! employee Molly Neuman, who was also Appelgren's girlfriend. "I did the Beat Off artwork with some logo illustrations by [Lookout! co-owner] Patrick Hynes, and the band seemed to like the Queers cats I was making", said Appelgren in 2014; "I had borrowed some old Felix comics for the art for Loves Songs for the Retarded and was continuing the theme. It wasn't requested by them—I sort of foisted it on them. By Move Back Home they were pretty tired of it, I think [...] The art was uninspired—they wanted a live photo and threw out my idea of a Queers cat standing head down in front of a cartoon front door, looking dejected." Appelgren incorporated his "dejected cat" illustrations into the corner of the front cover, and on the album's back cover. Reception Livermore was not the only one involved with Move Back Home who was disappointed with the album: Writing in 2007, King called both it and the Queer's previous studio album, 1994's Beat Off, "mediocre", saying
