A vertical drawing of an array of different animals wearing prison uniforms centered around an old white man with thick round black glasses. In his lap there are two small animals, and he has one finger raised as if sharing a story. The animals gathered around include: A hippo doing a one arm handstand, an owl resting on an elephant's head, a lion, flamingo, pig, dog, money, white horse, and giraffe. The background is a bright blue, and in the distance there are orange flames.
