Musique ala Tovarisch

Mary Shelly wrote a post-apocalypse novel called The Last Man.

The rabbit's ears are perked up, and its fur appears soft and unkempt. In the upper right corner, there is a small inset image of a person in a spacesuit with a black and white checkered pattern. Below the rabbit, in the lower right corner, there’s another inset image of two people in suits, appearing as an old black-and-white photograph. The text "MUSIC FROM DR. DREW" is written in bold red letters at the bottom left of the image. Alt-text: A rabbit on piano keys with text "MUSIC FROM DR. DREW" and two inset images of a person in a spacesuit and a vintage photo of two people. Transcribed Text: MUSIC FROM DR. DREW
