A page of doodles of personifications of the New England colonies in the 1600s. There are colored full body drawings of them in the center-- Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine, from left to right. They are all wearing typical outfits of the time with different colored vests, and Massachusetts is wearing one of those hats Puritans wore. They are all glaring at each other and thinking "god this place is a freakshow. i don't respect literally any of you people," except for Maine, who is squatting on the ground and poking at something happily, with a thought bubble that just contains a photorealistic image of a pinecone. A doodle in the upper left corner shows Britain (off-screen) gesturing to Maine and saying "Massachusetts, my…most…resolute colony. I recently won this territory from France, and am entrusting their care and…civilization to you." Mass stares at Maine blankly and then says "…wait did you say FRANCE?" with an expression of distress. Other drawings around the edge include Connecticut pointing at Maine and saying "how is it even POSSIBLE for one child to accumulate this many sticks in their hair?", Massachusetts carrying Maine under one arm with an exhausted/annoyed expression, and Maryland and Maine holding up a crab and a lobster respectively and saying "clab :D" and "lobber :D" to each other. Also an attempt at a drawing of a potato with an arrow pointing to it saying "this space is too empty. The humble potato".

Close up pictures include:

Close ups of small portraits of the faces of various colonies. They are all light-skinned and labeled with their names. Massachusetts has short dark brown hair, dark green eyes, and a determined expression. Connecticut has short, lighter brown hair, dark green eyes, and glasses. Rhode Island has short reddish hair, light green eyes, and a mischievous expression. Vermont has longer, light brown hair and light green eyes. New Hampshire has dark green eyes and short brown hair. Acadia, who is the only one drawn in profile, has greenish-blue eyes and dark brown hair mostly covered by a hood. She looks concerned. New Brunswick has dark brown hair and dark blue-green eyes. Nova Scotia has dark brown, wavy hair in a ponytail and greenish-blue eyes. Maine has longer, messy brown hair and dark blue-green eyes.

Close-up of a small comic. Connecticut is reaching to peer over a fence or wall and saying "psst. acadia. i know we're technically 'at' 'war' presently, but, well," Acadia, on the other side of the fence/wall, says "you still wish to trade?" Connecticut says "…yes". Acadia says "good. us too." Connecticut, in smaller text, says "oh thank heaven".

Comic. Parentheses at the top say "(modern day)". Maine, looking at their phone, says "hey mass remember how you used to think i was a demon lmao". Mass, carrying a cup, says with a concerned expression "what??? no????" He continues "i mean, maybe i said some things like that at SOME point… but i really don't remember… i mean, i doubt i MEANT it… maybe you're exaggerating…" Maine, with a expression of deep frustration, remembers old-timey Massachusetts angrily saying "sometimes i am not sure if you are a DEMON sent from hell to TORMENT me or merely meant as a TEST of my PATIENCE from GOD!"

Comic. In the background, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire (and Maine, holding on to Massachusetts's cloak) are gesturing at each other with sound effect of "bickering, arguing, etc." as a nonspecific figure in the foreground says "ugh… new englanders are such a belligerent sort of people, don't you think? also wow those accents are…something". The New Englanders in question all whirl to face the figure with expressions of rage (and delight, for Maine and Rhode Island), and yell in unison "What did you say?!" Some of them add "hellfire and damnation" and "we'll KILL you". The person in the foreground looks afraid.
