I mean, it wouldn't be a very good subversion attempt if it was too obvious, but either way someone on their team must've known German very well to come up with that, because this is definitely a word you learn on the school yard, not in the classroom.

If it WAS a native speaker (as I'd suspect), I would lean towards thinking it was probably intended as an antifascist joke, because "ohne Mampf kein Kampf" (without food, no fight) is a humorous adage of the Bundeswehr that's basically the modern version of "an army, like a snake, marches on its belly".

Then again, one must one wonder who outside their (likely tiny) German audience would even get the joke at all.

I mean, that's possible, but why would they do that for a book whose copyright expired a long time ago (and whose name is not illegal to mention, not even in Germany)?

Clearly, one of the designers must have put this there on purpose, even if it was only intended as an inside joke or easter egg perhaps.
