Contest For The Best Cartoon Characters Of Bacteriophages

We are looking for cartoon characters of bacteriophages. One example of such image is in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3Ky3g4ZYQA

The new cartoon characters should not necessarily be based on that exact character; rather, any cartoon character of lytic bacteriophages (loosely based on the T4 phage type) that conveys friendliness and intelligence is of interest.

Open: through April 30, 2019
