1x
The black, flea-like shape you see here is the classic
Mandelbrot-set icon. Okay, it looks more like Frosty the Snowman
tipped over into an inkwell. But in honor of Jonathan Swift (see
intro), suspend disbelief for a moment and imagine it as a kind of
fractal flea, seen from above, with its bristly head facing left.
Now, see the next image to zoom in on our fractal flea's head.
