Two Caucasian women side by side from the waist up with their elbows in leaning on a surface in front of them. The one on the left haas shoulder length dark hair, black rimmed glasses and a dark striped jumper, the one on the right has long fair hair, 60s eye make-up and is cradling her chin with her hands.

He leans on his left flipper and sits on his left penguin hip, his orange penguin feet and right flipper raised.
