This image is styled as a "Missing Person" poster with a humorous twist. At the top, bold text reads "MISSING" and "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON?" against a vibrant red background. The centre features a photograph of a smiling man in a white lab coat, standing in a busy laboratory with colleagues in the background. Beneath the image, text introduces "DR. E.
