Image Description: A stick figure jester stands precariously juggling atop an umbrella top, or an upturned boat. From inside the umbrella boat pour objects that could be juggling balls into the gaping maw at the top of the author's head. Stylized pointy hair of differing lengths shoots out from either side of the head. The right eye is a roughly spherical wide-open blob. The left eye is a bit more conventionally shaped, with an outline ending in a partial pointed spiral. Beneath that eye is what could be a teacup whose handle has a moon earring dangling from it. To the right, hanging from the edge of the head, a series of log-like cylinders, perhaps rollers. From the bottom of the cup drips more juggling balls. Back to the left, the author has a cat shaped nose with what might be a caterpillar mustache crawling through the nostrils. Beneath, a mouth with sharp teeth of varying lengths in varying directions. To the right of the mouth, the juggling balls dripping from the cup bounce off a small flat square suspended in air and into the opening atop a jug-like torso. The torso has two simple eyes, circles with dots within, high up on its forehead, higher than either eyes or nipples should be. Parallel handles form a nose in the middle of the jug-torso, and below an open mouth filled with more regular teeth instead of the pointy fangs of the main face. A belt goes round the bottom of the jug-torso, with crescent moon-shaped loops holding it on. The right leg is black and white checkerboard of roughly knee length with more juggling balls falling out the bottom into a canoe foot. The left leg is ball-shaped with one black stripe, in the center of which is a nozzle with some sort of liquid pouring out to form the lower leg, with the splash at the bottom forming a foot.
