Photographic poster featuring a photographic image of a doctor and nurse, altered to appear cartoon-like. A large red heart on a spring is seen coming out of the nurse's chest as the couple embrace. The title 'Comic Potential' is in yellow upper-case letters above, the 'O' of 'Comic' formed from a view of a custard pie apparently hitting the lettering.
