For those who don't know: the picture is one of the original illustrations of Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. It depicts one of the leaders of the moonshot project, who was disappointed that he couldn't travel to the moon so he lived for a week or so inside the projectile, getting a bit fatter as a result (I guess this is the allusion). The pic is from when he gets out.
