Or Zubalsky
Scene in mostly monochromatic gray with some detail in color, drawn from a side perspective. A figure drawn with an outline is on a road with alternating dark and light siding. One leg crossed over another, leaning backwards, arms bent at the elbows and extending most of the width of the page, ending in stubs. Three downward half circles are drawn on head, chest, groin area. Squiggly gray lines cross horizontally behind the head and above it. Colorful action lines in teal, yellow, and purple are behind the body. Thick dark orange and thin teal smudge is behind the head. Bright pink stroke starts light in front of the head and ends thick and saturated at the left edge of the page.
