Maybe I'm the only one, but I think it DOES look like a guitar. That's
what I thought when I first saw this little piece of art on the digest.
"Oh look, a guitar! How cute!"

But to be fair to everyone, my sister thinks it looks like her star
cruiser toy. "It does look a bit like a guitar, but more like my star
cruiser," were her exact words. :)
