DescriptionA man dressed in a costume holds up a poster which reads, "Hey Kids! Be a Mystery Sleuth, Join the Multiple Sclerosis READ-a-thon." The man has long blond hair and a large mustache curled upwards at the corners. He wears a top hat with a large pendant attached to the crown and ribbon around the base. He is also dressed in a white clock-like blouse with oversized arms. He smiles and looks at the camera through wire-framed glasses and points at the poster with his free hand, palm up.
