The Mushroom-Cloud Squeaky Toy

Studio photo (or photo-real illustration) of a small rubber squeaky toy shaped like a mushroom cloud, slightly scuffed like a dog toy, sitting on a tidy desk beside a yellow legal pad, a calculator, and a sharpened pencil. Lighting: bright, newsroom/office. This visually sells the line about “basic arithmetic, common sense, and a squeaky toy.”
