Image description:
A grayscale illustration of a fat cartoon bear on all fours facing right. The front legs are braced stiffly downwards while one of the back legs is lifted as if it is taking a step. The bear’s back curves down between the elevated shoulders and hips as the rounded stomach hangs into the open space below. Its face is partly obscured by its forearms but the end of a curved-up mouth is visible, suggesting that the bear could be smiling. Its eyes are crossed and bulging (written by Andrea Noonoo).
