This vibrant illustration features an exaggerated elderly woman in a black dress and pearls, holding two bare bagel halves while demanding “Where’s the beef?” in a bold speech bubble. The yellow background emphasizes her expressive shock, evoking the iconic 1984 Wendy’s ad campaign that critiqued oversized but empty fast-food burgers. The image has since become a widely referenced symbol of hollow promises and corporate puffery.
