Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. Lying on a tabletop at left seen from one corner is a pizza box that\\u2019s slightly open to show a pizza with multiple toppings within. The box is labeled \\u201cPizzapothecarium\\u201d along the front overlapping edge. The bottom edge reads \\u201cSupreme,\\u201d \\u201cDouble Pepperoni,\\u201d and \\u201cTriple Sparkle.\\u201d Each choice has a checkbox in front of it. A fourth option is obscured by a small bottle sitting in front of the box, with a label on a string attached around the neck. The right edge of the box is labeled \\u201cMadeleine Miriam\\u2019s.\\u201d The top of the box, at a steep angle, shows a smiling woman from waist up holding up a pizza at shoulder level in the hand of her bent right arm, and resting her left hand on her hip. At right, four bottles stand on the tabletop: two with caps, one with a cork stopper, and one with a glass stopper. One label reads \\u201cEssence T. Aquaticus\\u201d with further writing below that is illegible. One bottle is labeled with a number \\u201c1,\\u201d and another with the number \\u201c9.\\u201d Words appear above the numbers but only a few letters are visible. Watermark of \\u201cStoryfeather\\u201d along bottom of pizza box. Top and bottom borders to make the image square contain distorted portions of the main image.
