The image features a large, white sandwich board sign set against an urban backdrop with trees and buildings partially visible. The sign is illustrated and contains cartoon-like drawings and text.
On the left side of the sign, two men are depicted carrying a large, cartoonish, caricatured figure laid on what looks like an industrial stretcher or platform. One of the men, smiling, is wearing blue overalls and a cap, while the other, also dressed similarly, appears to be in a slightly different pose with a hand on the stretcher. The character being carried is depicted as a stout man wearing a green military-style hat, looking confused or distressed.
In the middle of the illustration, there are abstract lines that may indicate movement or stress, adding a humorous effect to the scene. The text above the characters reads “Autounfall....???” which translates to "car accident....???" and is in a bold, playful font. Below, the reply “Nee,.... Friedensvertrag!!!” translates to "No,.... peace treaty!!!" and is similarly styled.
To the right of the drawing, there's the image of a man with glasses and a black hat, looking surprised or contemplative, facing the cartoon characters. The background includes a grey street, and in the distance, there are buildings with what appears to be striped awnings. The ground is covered with scattered leaves, indicative of autumn, and the scene appears to have been captured in daylight. The overall tone of the sign seems light-hearted, perhaps addressing a serious topic with humor through caricature and playful design.
