Fingerprint: CANNON Lagoon with gold serif capitals blue cursive script over green palm fronds, bald man green shirt astride enormous black cannonball balanced treasure chest memorable absurd image, three-masted galleon white sails looming upper right, open treasure chest gold padlock spilling gold coins bottom, man orange shirt firing long gun left edge, tropical deck tableau colourful
A bald man in a green shirt sitting astride an enormous black cannonball balanced on a treasure chest is the most memorable, absurd image. Close behind it: a pirate-style galleon with three masts of white square sails looming at the upper right, and an open treasure chest with a gold padlock spilling onto the deck at bottom left. The title is a striking two-part lockup, blocky gold 'CANNON' over a big blue script 'Lagoon' laid over green palm fronds. A man in an orange shirt leaning over the rail firing a long gun anchors the far left edge.

A full-colour cartoon backglass showing a tropical lagoon gunfight aboard a wooden ship deck. The top third is pale blue sky with flat white clouds and, at right, a large three-masted galleon with billowing white square sails, a blue-and-white pennant, a brown hull lined with rows of square gunports, and thick black-outlined rigging. The upper left is dominated by the title: 'CANNON' in big arched golden-yellow serif capitals with black outline and white inline highlight, sitting above 'Lagoon' in huge flowing light-blue cursive script with dark outline, backed by a spray of bright green palm fronds and one black cannonball. Below, a wide brown plank deck with a turned-baluster railing runs across the frame; a grey metal grate is inset at bottom left. Props scattered on deck include a green cannon on a wooden carriage, a black cannonball, an open gold-locked treasure chest, an open crate of gold coins, a wooden barrel, a flying barrel, splintered planks and a barrel bursting apart. Three men are aboard: one at far left in an orange shirt firing a long gun over the rail, one bald man in a green shirt and tan trousers astride a giant black cannonball on a crate, and one at right in a red-and-white striped shirt bent double beside a cannon and a yellow starburst blast. A rocky green island with its own cannon sits on the horizon.
