A background of three horizontal sections colored red, blue and orange has a house on the right side of the composition. There are brown speech bubbles—each stating the name of The Seven Dwarves coming out of the house. There is a red and green apple with a bite taken out of it to the left of the house. Beneath this scene is a mixture of shapes including a patterned circular mirror with a black rocket ship revealed on its surface and to the left of that the word evil.
