First-frame thumbnail shows snail character (small orange body, white shell, colorful beach-ball-like head/markings) on a cracked asphalt road, with a Mobilgas-branded service station in the background: two red Mobilgas pumps, a brick storefront with ‘Mobilgas’ shields, a mailbox, and an orange traffic cone. Warm daylight, mid-century roadside Americana, eye-level static shot.
