I've been explaining the "head-foot" body plan like this for years, finally got around to drawing it 😁 (Part II only exists because I got so many questions after Part I 🙈)
How to make a cephalopod. (With cartoony drawings) 1. Remove limbs. (Smiling human with dotted lines at shoulders and hips) 2. Attach to lips. (Human with flat mouth expression, just head and torso. Arms and legs are floating above with arrows pointing from them to lips) 3. See? It works. (Smiling human cephalopod with arms and legs around mouth. Drawing of an octopus shows anatomical similarity.)

How to make a cephalopod, part II. Internal anatomy. (Cartoony drawings with instructions) 1. Remove urogenital and digestive exit holes. (A human cephalopod with simplified systems in its body drawn in different colors. X's are next to the anus, urethral and genital openings) 2. Redirect exit tubes to nose. (The systems are partially rearranged, with arrows pointing to the nostril) 3. Breathe out to excrete, reproduce, and swim! (The creature looks happy and is giving a double thumbs up with the limbs attached to its lips. Internal systems are fully rearranged and an arrow points outward from the nostril)
