The picture was painted on cardboard using gouache and felt-tip pen. The background is yellow and the picture has a black border. In the middle of the picture is a creature with a human body, stretching both arms upwards. It has a very tall head with six horns, its body and head are blue, and it is wearing a yellow T-shirt. Right next to it is a face-covered man wearing a hat. He is painted in blue and a little yellow. Behind the two figures are many colorful lines painted in a circular pattern. In large letters, the words “SILENCE OR” are written at the top of the picture and “DEATH” at the bottom. To the right of the word ‘Silence’ is written “The incomparable Humans.” In smaller letters at the very top of the picture is written: “The humans believe in DESTROYING what they do not understand.” At the bottom of the picture is written “The monster maker from TAHITI all Stories by Andy Hope 1930.” Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
