Written in pencil in the TLC and TRC “UP TURN” and an arrow pointing at the skis, and in the BLC and BRC “FLAT” with an arrow pointing at the end of the skis. There is a distinct dot in the middle of the board, and lines drawn out finding the absolute centre of the board and image.

- Description
- In a large boxed-off square there is a crowd observing a person ski jumping down a hill. There is a mountain in the background, a judges platform that is at the top of the hill, and in the foreground there are large steps where a group of animals is sitting and watching the competition (each animal is on their own step). In a small boxed-off rectangle below the larger drawing there is a group of animals sitting on benches in what appears to be an office. Written above the door it says “DEPT OF IDEAS” and hanging on the door a sign that says “OUT OF ORDER.” Near the BRC of the paper there is a sign drawn that says “NO JOBS TODAY”.
