The bag itself is drawn as a rounded sack, tied at the top with a loosely gathered string, giving it the appearance of a bulging pouch. A bold dollar sign is visible on the right side of the bag. At the centre of the bag is a wide-open mouth with large somewhat rounded teeth. This mouth is actively eating a one hundred dollar bill, which is partially inside the bag's mouth.

The one on the left is half-a-head taller than his companion; the one on the right has a tuft of hair spiking out from the top of his head. He’s resting his arm on the other’s shoulder. With their heads slightly cocked to the left, they both appear to be looking at something in the distance. Something out of frame.
