Black and white cartoon illustration of two figures standing and facing each other. The one on the left appears to be a woman with long hair, a long nose and is wearing a dress and heels. She is leaning forward towards the second figure. The figure on the right is made up of numbers that seem to resemble important historical dates. From top to bottom: 1776, 1066, 1620, 410, 1861, 1215, 1812, 1941, 1492, 1917, 1914, 1789. The caption reads "You're history, Leonard."
