Dense Caption

Static pixel art image shows a central figure wearing a black top hat with red band, gray jacket over red shirt. Figure holds two rectangular flag poles: left pole displays green-white-red vertical stripes (Italy), right pole displays red-and-white stripes with blue field of white stars (United States). Below the figure, three lines of blocky pixelated text read 'Italian', 'American', 'Buddy' in black on white background. All elements are rendered in low-resolution 8-bit style typical of early internet graphics.
