"A
group of animals sit on a cloud in heaven, bearing the tire
marks of their demise. All have been elevated to angel status
and have wings, except for the snake and Peter’s visiting
mouse. A hedgehog peers out beneath a badger who clutches an
exhaust pipe, while another badger holds the tail of a
squirrel. The rabbit prepares to detonate a bomb that is
inside the box; he seeks revenge on the car - the instrument
of their deaths. ‘For Kelly’ on the tail refers to a pet
dog that once belonged to Peter’s wife. Many famous people
who died in traffic accidents are commemorated directly or
indirectly:
