Subject

A cartoon drawn off the show. Outside a cash-only storefront whose two units are a dim sum place and a cat café, a woman carries a child who is calling for both colas at once. The proprietor stands beside a stack of crates — Coke, Pepsi, Fanta, Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper — and announces that America has plenty, since the warehouse store even stocks the orange one for the kitchen staff.

Composition

The storefront and its signage run across the back, the mother and child stand at the left in full figure, and the crates make a stepped column at the centre with the proprietor leaning past it at the right.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

Open line with each crate and label hand-lettered, and hatching used only for the shadows under the doorway. The figures are caricatured hard and the architecture kept plain.

Medium and support

Ink on paper, drawn as a cartoon for the show.

Signature

Signed with the artist's name at the lower centre.
