Buggy Pirates Cover Story

Status: stub · seeded by Ch. 33

Source context

From Vault/Chapters/0033.md:

- **Page 1 (cover splash) — 'HAPPY VICTORY' biplane crash**: The chapter's cover. Two figures are airborne against clouds: an upper figure with massive fur-coat / lion-mane silhouette (reads as [[Characters/Mohji]]) and a lower clown-striped figure (reads as [[Characters/Buggy]]) tangle around a propeller-driven plane that reads 'HAPPY VICTORY' on the tail-side. The composition reads as a *mid-crash* freeze-frame. Continues the Buggy Pirates B-plot cover-story (which started after Ch. 20's end). The 'HAPPY VICTORY' name on the tail is itself an ironic gag — the plane is mid-crash. See proposed [[Foreshadowing/Buggy Pirates Cover Story]].
