Dense Caption

A contact sheet of four 34x34 pixel AIM buddy icon frames showing variations of a classic yellow smiley face. Each frame features a circular yellow face with black eyes and red mouths against a gray background. The top-left frame shows a neutral expression with closed eyes and a straight mouth. Top-right displays wide-open eyes with a curved red mouth. Bottom-left has one eye open, the other closed, with a small red mouth. Bottom-right presents a full smile with both eyes open and a broad red mouth. All icons use thick black outlines for facial features and have consistent pixel art style with no additional props or text.
