Identification notes
What is known
Found-image mockup supplied for The Shadow Zone: a counterfeit frozen sandwich carton front on a red ground, its wordmark reading "DOCK POCKETS brand sandwiches" in the slab-serif cartouche of the Hot Pockets trade dress, complete with a "NEW RECIPE" corner flash. Below it, two hands of differing skin tone grip opposite ends of a single filled pastry roll, cheese escaping the middle, under the line "2 PACK - 1 FOR YOU AND 1 FOR A FRIEND." The composition is deliberate innuendo. Unaffiliated with and unendorsed by the brand whose trade dress it parodies. Authorship and source date remain unverified.
