This topic of Sartrean ugliness, raised today by Andy Martin in the Stone has of course other hilarious possibilities, some of which could be variations on previous cartoon mise en scene posts on this site.
Sartreans were notoriously frisky, ugly, and licentious,
like bonobos, and the bonobo illustrations could be turned to good advantage, to highlight some of their more arresting 'intellectual' exploits.
A really talented graphic artist might even be able to depict a zig zag bonobo pillar three bonobos tall, call a 'Pyramid of Phenomenologists', (Cf. earlier posts re The Pyramid of Experts) situated behind Martin, in the earlier graphic, and it might ambiguously indicate three images reflecting toward the viewer, the third being that of the face of the top bonobo, in the mirror, rather than, that of Socrates, or Martin.
Why not show something, not only ugly, but also, revealingly, bestial?
