A very spiky figure with overlapping jagged outlines (in coral, light green, and yellow) has two short arrow eyes pointing at each other, short arms, and short stubby legs. Its right arm is reaching toward a gray screen of what is probably a laptop, with the bottom side drawn loosely below. The figure and most of the laptop are in a bright yellow background, against a loosely covered brown background. Red letters say "EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OKAY." over the laptop and right above the figure, Hs getting smaller across the line.
