In a snow-dusted, cartoonish hockey rink, reminiscent of Charles Schulz's playful simplicity, we find our setting: an ice hockey game gone hilariously awry. In the foreground, a mischievous yet well-meaning cartoon hockey player, clearly inspired by Bill Watterson's Calvin, skates clumsily across the ice. He's decked out in an oversized jersey, ice skates too big for his feet, and a helmet that sits slightly askew, barely containing his wild, curly hair. He's in mid-tumble, with his arms flailing as a cascade of slapstick bandages fly from his pockets, signaling past attempts at bravery. Nearby, an animated goalpost designed in the whimsical style of Walt Disney is anthropomorphized, grinning with a gap-toothed smile and winking knowingly, as if it's in on the joke.

In the background, a comically towering zamboni—painted with Gary Larson's signature off-kilter charm—carries a banner high in the sky. The banner flutters in the breeze with the message "Get Better Soon, Harper!" in bright, cheerful letters. This playful nod to Harper is written in the clouds, Hergé-style, making it look like a thought bubble from the heavens.

Lining the rink's edges are oversized cartoon hockey sticks with faces and exaggerated features reminiscent of Osamu Tezuka's manga expressions, cheering the player on with wild, enthusiastic grins. The scene is completed with a cluster of animated snowflakes—each with a unique face, a nod to R. Crumb's distinctive detail—dancing downwards. Some of these snowflakes mischievously form letters, spelling out Harper’s name across the ice in a playful, kinetic font inspired by Winsor McCay's fantastical designs.
