A sketch featuring a series of whimsical drawings in blue ink on a white background. The drawings depict various scenes and characters, including a figure riding a horse, a hanging globe with figures around it, and other playful and abstract elements. Some of the scenes are framed within rectangular borders, giving the impression of comic strip panels. The date "10-16-84" is written in the bottom left corner, indicating when the drawing was likely created.
