Centre left is a drawing of a porcupine - a biro drawing of a hedgehog like ball of spines facing right, labelled "porkupine". Above him is a similar shaped and oriented character dressed in black and white stripes, labelled "porkucrime". Below them a similar character has three-pronged forks instead of spines and is labelled "forkupine" and a porcupine drawing with a clock on him is labelled "porkutime". Top right is a similar shaped character, though without spines except on the ridge, with speckles and a little pointier in shape at snout and tail to suggest a citrus fruit, labelled "porkulime". Middle right is a porcupine with a mobile phone, labelled "porku999". Bottom right is the porkucrime character in the black and white stripes having cut up another character with a large knife, with a shaded puddle of blood. The slices reveal the inside profile of a citrus fruit. Porku999 is saying "porkucrime just chopped up porkulime!"
Top row: A pencil cartoon of a small dragon facing to the right with four little nub legs, then a cute dragon standing up with smile and wings. Second row: a dragon with too many legs each wearing little ballet shoes faces right, with tail emerging from a shaded area intended as a tutu. It is labelled "dragopiller ballerina", a similar winged figure to the front-on cute dragon above, but with mouse facial features and tail, labelled "mouse trying to be a dragon".

It is labelled "dragon ballerina", a similar winged figure to the front-on cute dragon and mouse above, but with cat features including black ears and tail, labelled "haku is a secret dragon".

Fifth row: a dragon with even more legs faces right. It is labelled "milagon ballerina". Beside it a dragon with even more legs faces right. The legs are so small they look like a scribble, but a magnifying glass shows a close up of the same style of little feet. It is labelled "bilagon ballerina".
Some very simple pencil drawings on oblong snippets of paper of various sizes, showing a cat. Top row from left: a cat stretched out long and thin, labelled "loki poki", then a small cat labelled "Mr chub chub" then a cat laying sphinx-like labelled "chonker plonk". Middle row: a cat standing up, labelled "chubba chubba", a small cat labelled "loki" Bottom row an anthropomorphic cat sitting up like a human, holding hands with a smaller circular character labelled "loki and kirby being best buddies", a circle character with mouth open to the right, with a cat drawn overlapping the mouth, labelled "kirby can't inhale loki", then the final, largest picture of a cat with a hugely deeper body but tiny little legs and head in scale with the other pictures, labelled "mr definitely not at all chubby".
