A large constructed head supported by a slim candy cane neck look out at the viewer, offering a lopsided smile and face made up of apparently random shapes and objects. An oversized right eye is counterbalanced by a smaller cactus like left eye, possibly suggesting a spikey judgment of all this figure sees.
The yellow saliva referred to in the title seeps out from between thin slightly parted lips, they do not quite form a smile but at the same time there is something welcoming about this character. We are looking at a loony toon type figure, rather than a sinister character, perhaps he is not quite living in the same world as we are but he enjoys watching us try to make sense of things.
