Image description:
A grayscale illustration of a cartoon bear with crossed eyes, a wide, open-mouthed smile, and a large dark nose. The bear is posing like a bodybuilder with its arms curled upwards to make its biceps bulge. Its chest and shoulders are broad. Somehow it is holding this pose sideways, as if the unseen surface it is standing on runs vertically across the image instead of horizontally. A disembodied cartoon bear arm is positioned in the upper right of the image. It extends a set of long, sharp claws in the bear’s direction. The figure is light gray and outlined with a dark black line (written by Andrea Noonoo).
