This is a drawing of pyramids with eyes and an armadillo in the foreground. The image features a large armadillo walking across a grassy area, with pyramids in the background. Each pyramid has an eye near its apex. One of the pyramids is partially submerged in the ground. The artwork uses bold lines and vibrant colors, with a psychedelic style. The title "ARMADILLO COMICS" and the price "Fifty Cents" are displayed at the top, encased in a border with Art Nouveau elements.
