The bottom piece appears to be congealing into the newsprint though, probably because the hand seems to be pouring a thin dribble of vegetable oil on to it from what I first thought was a sauce bottle.
Could be some kind of vinegar (isn’t malt vinegar brown?), if it’s a stock photo set up that might also explain why it’s directly touching the actual ink instead of plain or wax paper?
This convo is so making me want hot chips darn it! Or that top piece…
The top piece does.

May be malt vinegar too. My dad used to love that shit on his fries and other deep fried things. Certainly wouldn’t be my choice.
You’re right, though. That bottom piece is nasty.

Oh, yeah, you’re right. Malt vinegar is brown.
