旱象

旱 = 日 + 干 : Mnemonic symbol: a marmot, 旱獭 (han4 ta3).

Hamlet (h) used the drought (旱) to dry fruits (干) under the sun (日) in the anthill's bathroom (an4), but the marmot (旱) secretly stole and ate all the dried fruits.

旱 = 日 + 干 : This character provides a mnemonic on its own: the sun (日) dries out (干) the land, leading to a drought (旱).

象 = ⺈ + 口 + 豕 : Mnemonic symbol: I already used an ordinary elephant for 勹, which is fine, because 勹 appears many times and 象 only a few times. Thus to represent 象 I'll use a locomotive from 1844's Austria, which was called "KFNB Elephant".

象 = ⺈ + 口 + 豕 : Marie Curie sees the crane and the swine fight about a single mandarin in the anglepod's bathroom. To smooth down the differences, with a locomotive she drives a whole container of mandarins in the bathroom.
