On the way:
It's not his stubby dry hands, a frosted brown as though there had been a minor icing sugar incident before he scurried for the bus, although that might have contributed to the hunted look in his eyes - "if you're going to just spill stuff, I'll never get this cake done. Why don't you just go out or something?"
Nor is it the fact that he is dressed all in black - trainers, trousers and shiny plastic windcheater. No, those are just incidental details to help build a complete picture.
Nor even the position of his legs - splayed at the thighs, bent at the knees - as he sits, nor his lack of a neck. Although they do contribute.
It's more the high collar smoothing the line from his shoulders to his rounded head, accentuated by a skull-hugging salt and pepper haircut. And the puffiness of his jacket that rounds out his already stocky frame.
That's what makes him look like a large, baffled beetle, blown in by the breeze.
