S e c r e t s:
This year Peter tackled the thorny subject of vivisection, but of course in his world the animals are the ones doing the experimenting. Three white-coated cats are performing various trials on a Pete look-alike victim. While one injects cat flu, another feeds "fur balls" and the third contemplates which part of the victim's anatomy is due an electric shock. Previous experiments have left the victim with an enormous left hand! A suitcase of cash represents funding from governments and large corporations, and the cats' coats list some companies or products that have been associated with animal testing. Peter's trademark mouse hides safely behind the can of fur balls. But beware: For just 500 pieces of this edition, something "very private" of Peter's lurks within!
