Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a parody of a clean, medical-style anatomical diagram of the vulva, drawn in flat pink shapes with teal leader lines labeling "Vulva" and "Vagina." A third label, "Saddam," points to a small dark red silhouette of a standing man placed in the diagram where the clitoris would be. The joke rests on the substitution; the diagram itself is schematic rather than photographic. It is reproduced as found and admitted as a curio, not as a reference. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
