This print depicts a woman seated on a red stool with her legs spread apart and her forearms resting on her thighs. She has long, curly red hair, eyes that appear to be closed, and a round face with red lips set in a neutral expression. She is wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt over a green-blue shirt, a pink skirt with a reddish-brown belt, and she is barefoot. Small, cartoon-like orange creatures are climbing up the rungs of the stool between her legs, the ones at the top appearing to be going into or coming out of her skirt. The background is beige with bold comic-style text at the top reading "R. Crumb's Comics and Stories" with "April 1964 Number One 35¢" on the right.
