A 1930s style cartoon mascot: a cheerful dog holding an oversized milkshake, drawn with thick uniform black outlines, bendy curved limbs with no elbows or knees, oversized white gloved hands, pie cut eyes and a wide grin. Flat limited colour, mustard yellow background, slight print misregistration and aged paper tone. Built to work as a sticker or a shop sign, no gradients or shading.

Tips
- 1The technique is called rubber hose animation, but several models flag that phrase. Describe bendy curved limbs with no elbows instead and you get the same result.
- 2Pie cut eyes and thick uniform outlines are the other two era markers.
- 3Aged paper tone stops flat colour feeling like clip art.
