How to Behave Abnormal? is a hilariously eye-catching book cover designed in bold black text on a vibrant yellow background. The playful and chaotic theme is emphasized by a cartoonish, wild-haired lady holding an oversized syringe with a crazed expression, suggesting unpredictable behavior or satirical madness. The word "ABNORMAL¿" is flipped upside down, adding to the sense of confusion and rebellion against norms.
