This page turns Animal's exhilaration into performance, making the night ride feel like a comic spectacle that is also charged with real wonder.
The language keeps tipping between clowning and revelation. Animal talks and poses theatrically, yet the page keeps insisting that the movement through the night has genuine force, as if flirtation, motion, and the cosmos are briefly sharing the same rhythm.
Animal performs for himself as actor — upper lip up so high he almost squeaks, unable to tell whether he is rabbit or gangster — while the night around the motorcade becomes a mirror in the universe showing them realistically spinning through space. The page braids comic self-caricature with real cosmic vertigo.
