Checking the Clock Again
A wide, squat alarm clock with checker-patterned fabric panels, uneven bells and retraced hands sits beneath a floating yellow glow.

Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, square 1:1. One absurdly wide, squat alarm clock occupies the lower-left two-thirds, leaving warm cream breathing room above and right. Its coral casing resembles patterned fabric: a few oversized rust-and-peach checker patches, broad broken contours suggesting simple stitches, no intricate detail. Unequal bells, one tall and narrow and one tiny and round; short stubby feet. An oversized ivory oval dial has four plain navy tick marks, no numerals. Two navy hands meet at one pivot, their edges nervously retraced with slightly offset marker strokes, suggesting compulsive time-checking without extra hands. A thin butter-yellow halo floats behind the clock, softly tinting its upper edge. Flat colour, chunky irregular outlines, visible marker overlap, deliberately simple shapes legible at thumbnail size. One object, no people, no diagrams. No text, logos or watermarks.
