A square backglass filled with flat cartoon illustration on a speckled turquoise-blue background. Across the top, the title PARTY is lettered in big chunky yellow capitals with a dark outline, and directly beneath it Animal appears in slanted pink-magenta cursive script with a white edge. Dominating the centre is a grinning anthropomorphic tiger in a bright red Hawaiian shirt printed with yellow leaves, an orange bow tie and dark glasses, one fist thrust upward to the top right corner and a speech bubble reading ROCK ME! On the left stands a woman in a leopard-print bikini top and skirt, one arm raised, holding a striped zebra or tiger-skin prop; on the right a second woman in a leopard-print bikini crouches dancing. A frothing glass of beer sits in front of the tiger. Grey elephants, a rabbit and other animal heads crowd the background, and a small green lizard or frog figure stands at the lower right beside another beer glass. Four amber alphanumeric score windows run along the bottom edge.
