A collage with a base layer of a comic with a dog in a spiked collar. The dog is drawn three times, once in the top left barking, once on the right with a hand holding its snout shut and another hand at its cheek, and once in the bottom left opening its mouth as one hand opens at its mouth and the other stays at its cheek. The original image includes the text “I BUILT THE WALLS MYSELF AND NOW I WANT OUT.” in the bottom right. The text “Yes, yes, I’ve done it to myself, I know!” has been superimposed to look like the dog is barking it. The image is bordered by four text extracts from “Anguish of the Marrow”. The text on the left border reads: "So I've come to realize," Alastor replied, straightening his eyetooth cufflinks simply for something to do with his hands. "The prank itself was immaterial. Hilarious, even, had it happened under any other circumstances. What I do not appreciate, as you suggest, is the idea that all of my hard work to be communicative and make amends has not been sufficiently humiliating. That I must evidently be kicked another time or two in order to prove that I will not bite. Like a bad dog who has been graciously allowed to go without a muzzle." "That ain't how you treat a dog, either," Husker grunted. "Not unless you hate 'em." "And I do." The text on the top reads: “Alastor's laughter was becoming oily and unpleasant. ‘Will I have eventually demonstrated that I am housetrained enough to have reasonable emotions without being expected to destroy the hotel in a fit of childish pique?’" The text on the right reads “Alastor sniffed - finding, strangely, that he was truly offended. Just when they had been making such progress, and all of it nullified because she had somehow let herself forget that he was a monster. It never lasted. Just a waiting game, a clock ticking down until he revealed too much of himself and sent them screaming. Always, always, and it was his own doing, of course-” The text on the bottom is upside-down and reads "’You're gonna piss the kid off sooner or later, 'cuz you're you and he's him. Don't burn the damn hotel down when you get used to havin' your fix of him and you figure out he can take it away.’" All of the text extracts have shorter ending lines, which makes it look like the border quotations flow into each other in a pattern.

The base image is by ArchBudzar on Twitter, and you can see it here. You can buy a print of it in their art shop, linked in their bio! They've got a lot of other cool art for sale, including a lot that I hadn't realized was by them when I saw it reposted on Facebook.
