beach littered with plastic lighters. Peter's
signature mouse looks out startled from under another
flipper. |

| The interior
features a rat. The inspiration for this was a
news item that Peter misheard on the radio at the time
of carving: the "monster rat" catastrophe. |
| It turns out that
it was the "Montserrat catastrophe", a volcano
threatening to erupt in the Caribbean. |
