An illustration featuring three panels. The first panel is of an angry blue bird looking under a rock and saying "Nothing." The second panel is the same bird looking in the grass with a magnifying glass and saying "Nothing!" The third panel is the largest and is a bird's eye view of a park and the same bird showing "NOTHING!!!" in large, red, shouty letters.
