A stylised colour cartoon. John Major is pictured in bed under orange and white bedsheets. He cowers from a vicious-looking spectre of Margaret Thatcher which is appearing out of her blue handbag. She has wild green hair, long fangs, and is pointing a long thin finger at Major. Major is wearing grey and white striped pyjamas, a long red nightcap with a white pompom, and glasses. At the bottom of the image in cursive script reads 'The Ghost of Christmas Past'. The artist's signature is in the bottom left corner, and the print edition run is in the bottom right corner.
