sc02_0010

First-frame thumbnail shows a stylized, slug-like snail character (white shell, orange body, blue eye) on a cracked asphalt roadway, facing away from camera. A blurred vehicle occupies the right third of the frame (suggesting a passing car to be composited in shot), and a small bush sits on the curb at lower right. Daylight, mid-1950s roadside diner context.
