Secrets
& Variations:
This pair of crocodiles rest leisurely in their boat with
a zebra leg as a paddle, having finished a large meal.
Litter around and inside the boat provides clues to the
morsels that they have just eaten. The mouse is hiding
near the boat’s missing rudder. Within the box are
a peace sign, fish skeletons, footprints of a wading bird,
and a hamburger box with “M” inscribed on
it. After being contacted by McDonald’s, the “M”
inside Version 1 was changed to “HK” due to
potential trademark confusion. Coincidentally, the name
of the box is not unlike the name of McDonald’s
founder, Ray Kroc. “Cool cider,” “docile
orc,” and “cod recoil” are anagrams
for “crocodile.” Hallmarks include ©,
heart, HBC logo, ed.#, and Pc.
