A single crimson thread loops and doubles back to conjure one of animation's most recognisable faces. Morris traces the sailor's squinting eye, bulbous jaw and corncob pipe with a loose, circling confidence - the whole image held together less by precision than by an instinct for caricature. The repeated hair lines fan outward like a small explosion, giving the figure unexpected energy.
