Image description:
An unshaded line drawing composed of three shapes. On the lower right there is a rounded cartoon animal paw drawn with a wavy line and tipped with three sharp triangular claws. Above this paw there is an indeterminate object with a rounded base. The top of this object is flattened as if it is being pressed against something we can’t see. To the center left there is an irregular shape drawn with a wavy line that might suggest fur or hair. One side of the shape develops into a pair of ‘legs’ that meet on either side of a rounded, fruitlike form. Another cartoon paw extends from the end of one ‘leg’ and passes behind the ‘fruit,’ emerging on the other side with claws visible. The other end of the irregular shape partly conceals an ambiguous body part that appears to be a head, as it has an ear and an eye (written by Andrea Noonoo).
