Fingerprint: Drained in heavy gothic blackletter with white highlights, BITE-SIZED subtitle on plaque beneath, enormous gaping monster mouth lower right with large rounded white teeth and two long downward-curving fangs, bright red concentric spiral in black throat, grey stone brick wall, wrought-iron railings with spearhead finials
The single most memorable feature is the enormous disembodied monster mouth in the lower right, with big square-rounded white teeth, two long tusk-like fangs curling down past the jaw line, and a bright red concentric spiral sitting in the black throat like a hypnotic target or coiled tongue, the only colour on the entire panel. Second is the title Drained in heavy gothic blackletter with hairline white highlights, paired with the deadpan punning subtitle BITE-SIZED in plain bold condensed sans on a plaque. Third, the whole thing is a scratchy engraved woodcut with dense cross-hatching on every brick and rail, black, white and mid-grey apart from the red spiral. Fourth, black iron railings with spearhead finials frame both edges symmetrically, making the wall look like a prison or castle rampart.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Monster | A single enormous gaping mouth, no body, no eyes or nose shown. arched black opening ringed with large rounded white teeth along the top row and a shorter row along the bottom; two long white fangs descend from the upper corners and curve inward at the tips, extending well below the lower jaw. deep in the black throat is a bright red concentric spiral disc resembling a coiled tongue or a target. |
A flat, high-contrast monochrome engraved illustration in the style of a Victorian woodcut, with a single spot of red. The whole panel is a grey stone wall of horizontally-laid, hatched bricks. Wrought-iron railings run up both the left and right edges, each made of four vertical bars topped with sharp spearhead finials and decorated with a small scroll motif midway. Centred high in the frame is the word Drained in large blackletter/gothic lettering: heavy angular black strokes with thin white internal highlights, and a small four-pointed white star glint sitting above the letter i. Directly beneath it, on a light rounded rectangular plaque with a dark outline, is BITE-SIZED in tall bold condensed sans-serif capitals. The lower right quadrant is occupied by a huge gaping monster mouth set into the wall: an arched black opening ringed with large rounded white teeth and two long downward-curving white fangs at the corners, with a bright red spiral, coiled and target-like, deep in the throat. No people, no score reels, no score windows, no instructions or pricing text are visible; only the two title lines.
