A chaotic background of black and white stripes, like television static. In the foreground is a grotesque figure, visible from the chest up. It's a man with a broad, sallow face, wearing sunglasses with thick white rims. The man has a wide nose; a solid, cleft jaw; and short blondish hair the same color of his skin, arranged in an unnaturally neat style that looks like a parody of a fashionable haircut. The man's mouth is twisted into a leer, one thick pink lower lip visible. The man is wearing an ugly brown suit with a white shirt and a black tie. This, to anybody who's vaguely familiar with weird happenings, is Max Headroom—more specifically, the version of him that unexpectedly showed up on Chicago TV stations on this day in 1987. If you're wondering what's happened, so am I.
