Simon from Iron Lung is standing in a hospital gown looking concerned and looking down at a large pile of clothing that he's holding against his chest with one arm. There is a large chunk of text in a fictional pidgin language that appears to read "Ernsa, ai ernen mein garb! Da Madman ofer me som ot his vhen ai felt sturdy enokt to stand. Obvisly ai say no eit urst, but he yap an skryaben on da "vhitbord" erdo ai versa: He don nid dis garb, an da rag vud bit vashen erens ai vanten et..." and in a smaller note "Vas gud del, but afta maken, am les surpris... felt gud to werk vhit mein frand, erregos." There is a messy sketch made to look like dry erase markers of a stick figure that has too many clothes that don't fit. There is a sketch of Armando the robot from Project Hail Mary holding a piece of fabric in the background with a small caption that says "Mary-Robot help holten." There is also a teeny drawing of a bare butt showing from the gap in the back of a hospital gown with an arrow pointing at Simon's waist.
A wide shot of a Martian landscape and sunset with stars visible in the purple and orange sky. The mars rover Curiosity is in the center of the composition facing the viewer, backlit by the sun with a star and sundog framing the robot. There are glowing white music notes for the last stanza of the Happy Birthday song floating in the starry sky, representing Curiosity's first anniversary on August 5, 2023, when scientists used vibrations from an instrument to have the robot 'sing' happy birthday to itself in celebration.
Grace from Project Hail Mary is wearing summer clothing and Eridian metal jewelry. He seems to be sitting on the ground, propping his head up with his hand and leaning one elbow on top of Rocky's flexible xenonite suit. The dialogue on the image has Rocky saying "Problem is Simon have no friend, yes?" to which Grace responds "That sounds mean but, basically, yeah. I mean, he has me, but he doesn't want to talk to me. And after everything that happened, I don't really blame him..." Rocky replies "... Rocky can fix. Off off off." Rocky is pushing Grace's chest gently with one hand.
Simon from Iron Lung is sitting on the floor with scars and bandages visible on all parts of his body. He's grabbing a bandage and peeling it off his face. Speech bubbles implied to be Grace from Project Hail Mary say "Wait, what are you... DON'T- ohhhhhh good golly, why would you DO that?" then it trails out of frame with "I need to go sit down for a second, cheese and RICE". There is text on the other side of the image in a fictional pidgin language that appears to say "Robot-Mary menden mein troma, but ai minen das bandaj. Da Madman vasno komfortal vhit det, but ai vas. Da skor vas yritaten."
A small laptop is open and glowing with multiple windows or messages showing on the screen. It sits on a thin metal platform bed with a dark thin mattress inset and protruding from hexagon in the wall. There are sticky notes in a few places and a small picture of mars taped to the headboard. The text onscreen is in a fictional pidgin language and appears to read "Sorry, am just... spaken to Mary es solva, regos da computel kanno pray kompensa. Alle missive es helpen me versa all dis xit." and pauses before ending with "Ai bit gracen."
Drawing of a small yellow sticky note with handwriting in a fictional pidgin language that says "No fuken idea" and "Ai von kal him det." In the corner there is a child-like drawing implied to be Grace from Project Hail Mary with big glasses, crazy hair, exaggerated angry eyebrows and a manic smile.
Simon from Iron Lung is leaning on something and pointing a finger up as if to make a point. He is looking at the viewer as he speaks in a fictional language. It resembles english but the characters are odd and not all the words match up. The original writing appears to say "J'kay, listen. Ai tell da madman dis bitprost... am ot mars, vherno alt. Ai von ofer altamar vitken. Halt plasken." There is a tiny hand held up in a 'stop' gesture next to halt. There is a smaller Grace from Project Hail Mary in the corner wearing glasses and Eridian metal jewelry. He waving and smiling and looking very polite, with a little caption that says "madman in question".
Simon from Iron Lung is sitting on the ground and leaning his right arm on his knees. He is looking at the viewer as he speaks in a fictional language. It resembles english but the characters are odd and not all the words match up. This sentence has been successfully translated to "What? Don't waste my time with nonsense." The original writing appears to say "Vhat? Don vashen mein tag vhit noken."
A woman with dark wavy hair and a big white fur coat lounges in front of a large window with glowing magic swirling between her fingertips, which have nails like talons. She's smiling maliciously and her coat is riding up so you can see her long leather boots and lace leggings.
Grace from Project Hail Mary gesticulates at the viewer with a blue-gloved hand holding a pipette like a cigarette. He has bags under his eyes, bruises on his right arm, and his left arm is wrapped in blood-stained bandages. The board behind him is full of notes, math notations, and papers related to Iron Lung and the blood ocean. He's grabbing a paper with SM-13 circled on it and various papers have red lines and circles on them. The whole image resembles the conspiracy theorist Pepe Silvia meme.

There are flames licking up the horse's legs and face, revealing its leg bones and skull.

A sequential comic without panels. Simon from Iron Lung is covered in scars and bandages and wearing a medical smock, standing unsteadily and gripping a ladder rung. Someone is surprised by his presence and greets him with "oh, uh, hello?" and Simon's expression is serious as he says "Dump the sub and everything in it." The response is a disbelieving "What?!" so Simon continues with "The blood is dangerous! Get rid of it!" The next drawing reveals the speaker to be Grace from Project Hail Mary, wearing goggles and gloves. Rocky the Eridian is behind a barrier in the background, singing with no translation available. Grace looks annoyed and not worried as he says "Uh, yeah, blood often is. That's what the P.P.E. is for. My name is Grace, by the way-" Simon interrupts with "I really don't give a fuck who you are." Grace says "I happen to be the guy that saved your life!" The final image is a close up of Simon's face looking disgusted as he says "Good for you. I'll grovel at your feet later."
A close up headshot of Grace from Project Hail Mary. He's not wearing a shirt or glasses, is unshaven with messy hair. He's facing sideways with his turned and glaring at someone. The rims of his eyes are red and some healed scars on the back of his neck are starting to bleed. He is partially shadowed and sickly green lighting makes his intense expression more severe.
Simon from Iron Lung with no obvious mutations other than the red iris on his left eye and a few scars. He looks scared and shocked and is covered in blood splatters from the neck down, and only the top half of him is visible behind a circular windowed hatch. The hatch and details around it belong to the exterior air lock of the Hail Mary spaceship from Project Hail Mary. He appears to have just closed the hatch with his right hand. There is a bloody handprint around the button on the outside of the ship and blood smears and streaks below that side of the door.
Full body drawing of a red merman with glittery scales, long spiky fins, extra teeth, and a clawed webbed hand, obviously designed to resemble Simon from Iron Lung. The merman is swimming in a tank with artificial lights glowing in the background. He has swirly brown markings on the human half and severe scars all over his body. The markings on his face give the impression of a beard and his long, dark hair is flowing behind his head. Simon is looking at and has his hand out as if to hold a smaller human in front of him designed to resemble Grace from Project Hail Mary. Grace is holding his breath, treading water, and holding one hand out as if to touch Simon's face. There are two glowing tendrils coming out from under Simon's hair that are almost touching Grace.

There are geometric bronze panels between him and the viewer, as if he is imprisoned by clear xenonite from Project Hail Mary.
Simon from Iron Lung with fresh blood and wounds all over him is attempting to crush an Eridian rock alient from Project Hail Mary with the mangled and gory remains of his left arm. He is clearly not in his right mind and text shares that 'his ass just woke up'. The eridian is screaming music notes and the sound effects crush, crack, and sizzle imply that he is strong enough that the clear xenonite suit is cracking and the Eridian is being exposed to toxic blood and oxygen.

Grace from Project Hail Mary has an arm leaned on Rocky the Eridian's clear xenonite ball, who is barely in frame, and is looking at Simon from Iron Lung, asking "You can fly a ship, too?"

A series of stylized drawings depicting Dr. Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary with various expressions ranging between pleased, terrified, bashful, and distracted with a pencil in his mouth.
