The screen-grab itself features the opening title for the series. A large, greasy wrapped deli sandwich with ‘Door2Door’ printed onto its wrapper is featured underneath a harsh yellow spotlight.
The text ‘Door2Door’ is written in green with the two written in red, and is outlined with a thin black outline as well as a black drop shadow. Behind the sandwich is a deep blue background contrasting with the bright yellow spotlight.
Above the sandwich is curved handwritten text reading ‘Created by Julia Vandenburg’, my preferred name. Julia Vandenburg is underlined, and the ‘i’ in Julia is dotted with a small heart. In the screen-grab’s lower right-hand corner is a low-opacity watermark of the Cartoon Network logo, specifically from its late nineties and early 2000s era.

Mr. Hartley and Gigi Dempster are in the kitchen of Dine ‘n Dash, having just completed constructing the perfect sandwich. Mr. Hartley, pictured on the left is a tall though portly beagle whose fur color is primarily a pale taupe, though his muzzle and arms are a brighter eggshell white. His ears taper off into a dark black fur pattern. Like Gigi, he wears a bright green hat with a white brim, a green collared dress shirt matching the same color of his hat, and a golden nametag. Mr. Hartley, resting one hand on the counter, points upward with his other hand proudly.
Gigi, stationed to Mr. Hartley’s right, is a short, female opossum who wears a bright green hat with a white brim, a green collared dress shirt matching the same color of her hat, and large, circular-lensed glasses. She is just barely taller than the counter she stands behind, and watches Mr. Hartley speak in awe, with bright, sparkly eyes.
In front of the two is a sub sandwich, layered delicately with lettuce, tomatoes and meat on brioche buns on top of a wrapper. To the left of the sandwich is a large bread knife, and to the right of the sandwich are small compartments housing varying sandwich ingredients, such as lettuce and tomatoes. The two stand in a dark kitchen, just underneath a lone spotlight cast over them.

Ruby Ramirez, a delivery girl skunk who serves as Gigi's rival, looms over her in a full, panning POV shot revealing her entire design from head to toe.
Ruby stands at a medium height with a compact body type, and wears a large, open black jacket with hot pink wrist cuffs and pockets. Under her jacket, she wears a dirty pink short-sleeved t-shirt as well as a pair of gunmetal navy jeans and regent grey sneakers. She also wears a crimson sports visor, relatively close to the same shade of pink as the cuffs of her jacket, and her right ear is pierced with a large, golden hoop earring.
Ruby's fur is a deep shade of fuscous grey, and down her neck as well as her enormous tail are stripes of a lighter, mercury white fur color. Her hair, which swoops down over the side of her face, is the same white color, and she has a small pink nose, the same color as her inner ear. She stands in a relatively laid-back pose, with one of her arms held out and the other tucked into the pocket of her jacket with a sly grin.
Behind Ruby is a small city block in Bendersville, primarily featuring a California Blue brick building with a large storefront window on its right, with text reading 'Stuff and Things, Things and Stuff' printed onto the glass. To the right of Stuff and Things is a dark coral red brick apartment building which looms tall into the saffron mango sky. In the distant skyline, several large buildings can be seen, and the sky is dotted with small clouds. Ruby stands on the road, casting a large shadow.

Julia Starinsky, a rat, seated on a stool in front of a Flip-Furter arcade cabinet, smiles down at an awestruck Gigi Dempster, an opossum.
Julia, pictured on the right, is a plus-sized rat wearing a dull pink hoodie with crimson cuffs over a cream t-shirt. She also wears bluish-purple jeans, and has thin-lensed glasses. Her fur is a shade of desaturated brown, and her inner ears, tail, nose and hands are a bright pink.
She sits on a red stool in front of a Flip-Furter arcade cabinet, which is mostly blue with an orange control panel.
Gigi, pictured on the right, is a possum who stands at a small stature and is wearing a crimson orange hoodie with an orchid yellow hood. The hoodie's edges, specifically around the waist and at the ends of the sleeves, are also of the same color. She also wears dull turquoise jeans and red sneakers.
Gigi's fur is mostly a warm grey, though her ears and arms fade into a darker fur pattern. Her small hands and jagged tail are the same shade of reddish-pink as her nose. On her face she wears large, black circular-lensed glasses, and she has a large, poofy tuft of hair jutting out just over them.
The two interact in the arcade wing of Ricky Rhino's Chews, Brews & News, a Chuck E. Cheese expy. The walls are a bright blue with a jagged three-line stripe going across it, and the carpet is a deep purple. Behind Julia and Gigi are two arcade cabinets; the leftmost one is mostly obscured by Julia, though the rightmost one is intentionally visible and is called Zauber!, based around my sister's unicorn character. It has a blue, yellow and red color scheme. Further in the background is a hallway, with a visible door leading into the men's restroom.
In the screen-grab’s upper right-hand corner is a low-opacity watermark reading 'STAR TV' inside a simplistic single-color drawing of a CRT television.
My amazing sister used some conversion trickery to bring my Door2Door screencaps to her CRT! They look simply fantastic on an old TV, too— now it truly IS a nineties cartoon!
