How to Insert an Image Into Your Outlook for Mac Signature

An email without a signature, you gather, is like a signature without a logo? A signature without a, well, signature: what's that?

Whatever the image you'd like to add to your email signature, Outlook for Mac does not seem to offer the "insert image" tool in the signature editor to do it. Fortunately, some copying and pasting does the job nicely.
