A cartoon image shows Veronica from Archie Comics, who has long, black hair with bands and wears a yellow top with a plunging neckline. She leans back in bed against a pink pillow with red trim with her hands behind her head. Her lower half is covered by a pink blanket. Red hearts swirl through the air around her. A white and brown lamp is on her pink bedside table to the right. Against the black background, yellow text reads: "Power bottom."
