Alison is in the upper-middle, lying down upside down, wearing a purple shirt and stripy trousers, and reading an ebook. Liz is in the bottom-right, wearing a pink shirt with green trousers, holding a mug of a hot beverage, and reading a physical book. They are surrounded by floating beer bottles, books, the Moon, a mug with a moose on it, and two cats. The word \u201cOctothorpe\u201d appears in scattered letters around the artwork, against a pinky-purple background.\n\nTheme music: \u201cSurf Shimmy\u201d by Kevin MacLeod (CC BY 4.0)
