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”.
