An abstract, non-linear, monochrome comic. From left to right: Porcupine sits on a beach littered with punctuation symbols (. , ...). His eyes are closed. He's dreaming up a tessellated cloud covered in tiled diamonds. 2/3rds of the page is the insides of this cloud, as seen from the outside. It's divided into diamond-shaped segments like a comic strip. The first segment shows a very buff kangaroo lifting. His face is covered in pitch-black shadow but his body is very well defined. Behind him stands the porcupine. He's wearing a headband with a triangle pattern. There's a small circle above his quill-covered head. Just below this panel they're hugging very intently. The porcupine's facial expression is that of a slightly raw scrambled egg. They're both naked. There's a flag with a checkerboard pattern in orthogonal perspective hanging from the panel above this one. Below is a panel with text and a comparatively big speech bubble taking up half its space. The text reads: "Soon / as we meet, / I'll be your best gymbro and we'll / out together / day. I'll eat / to cook... / squeeze / your abdom-/ feel like / my last breath... The next panel down shows an anchor, wind blowing and a rope-shaped squiggle swaying away from the anchor. Below is a closeup of a hairy chest. Below is a closeup of a big bicep. Below is another text pannel with an oddly shaped flower-like structure whose lower portion resembles pubic hair but is also ambiguous enough to be a plant at the same time. There's a moon sprouting from its cone. It shines against a black half-circle dome. To its left are waves, shaped like crescents. The text reads: What is this, some sort of ice cream cone flower meant to represent an un/certainty and the dreading of my b***r?? Diamonds are hard. I'm afraid I'd shatter them the / And what then? / moment they saw me. I never mean to be misunderstood but I am evil, aren't I.
