The halves of two lunch trays -- one grey and one orange -- are joined, the orange containing a packaged lunch, a juice box and string cheese, while the grey holds a more natural meal: sandwiches, nuts and berries, grapes.

Four different Snoop Dogg's stand against a dark background with twinkling stars cast in pallid turquoise, presumably at different points in time (or not, who are we to judge?). They show all of the different sides of Snoop Dogg -- rapper, shoe model, celebrity chef and just plain ol' celebrity.

Deadpool stands out against a paper-like background in his red and black uniform, swords strapped firmly to his black. A question mark hovers next to his head, held by a speech bubble made from a similar paper-esque material as the background; the material also outlines Deadpool's body, suggesting both he and the question mark have been cut out and glued to the background. His eyes are fixed in a smug glance, like he wants the question communicate just how stupid he thinks you are.
