This hand-drawn cartoon features a large analog clock with bold, colorful numerals (12 in pink, 3 in green, 6 in blue, 9 in cyan) and black hands pointing to 6 o’clock. Two exaggerated, frazzled characters-one male, one female-run frantically in opposite directions around the clock, while a lit candle atop a wooden stick burns at the top left, symbolizing dwindling time. The artist’s signature “ATMO 2008 25NBP” appears in green at the bottom left.
