A child's pencil sketch on graph paper of a man with a spear being shot at by a truck with a mounted gun and a person carrying a rifle who is riding an animal of some kind, probably a horse. Above them is a helicopter, and below the primary illustration is a doodle of a human figure and some kind of oblong, rectangular shape, though what these were intended to be is unclear.
