So the image is actually a link, but the page 404s. Putting it into the Wayback machine results in 63 snapshots, only the oldest of which (From 1998! It was gone in 2000!) has content: http://web.archive.org/web/19981206071543/http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/%7Eba116594/mmt.html
No images though. However, I noticed down at the bottom this text:

Well... off to google?
"Beatles shovel spaghetti" brings up multiple copies of this image, including an explanation: https://biteswiththebeatles.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/aunt-jessie-dreams-of-spaghetti/
> If you have ever owned a vinyl copy (or certain CD copies) of Magical Mystery Tour, you’ll know that it comes with a 28-page booklet containing song lyrics, drawings by cartoonist Bob Gibson, and scenes from the Magical Mystery Tour movie.

> Yes, you looked at that correctly. That is John Lennon, dressed as an Italian waiter, literally shoveling buckets of spaghetti on this woman’s plate. You’re probably gonna want some context…
(Edit: and if I only scrolled further I see someone else already posted that link)
Funnily enough, I recognize this image from The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" soundtrack liner notes (the image itself is from the movie). Why it's included in this article is lost on me.
