I may have been too perfectly formed for the human eye to see. I can't be exactly sure, but I think I read that in such circumstances, the application of a pot of paint will reveal the actual form, a bit like a scene from a movie.

I'd say here, H.

Perfectly put, as usual.
Which show(s) will you point your horse and wagon to this year?

My contacts on the street are briefed to relay the announcement of a non-festival gig.
'Rocky Against the Animals' - the dichotomy of life.
In short, the montage is a visual representation of what is good, and appears to be evil in the world.
Man has always been cruel to the animals, which was never right, as the biped could have comfortably survived to its present intellectual state by gnawing on pasta, fruit and cheese. Rocky is the human, and so accordingly appears as the dominant force top left, like mans position in the world. Rocky is depicted at his most potent, or harmful, where in Rocky III he belted seven shades of blue out of Mr. T and sent him hurtling into outer space with a killer blow you couldn't even write as a passage of fiction. In certain Rocky scriptures, it has been written that Mr. T has actually passed Europa en-route to Pluto.
With man smugly stood on top of the world looking down (or outward to the carnivores) we witness the beautiful animal kingdom fidgeting for survival: the badger, a proud beast dwindling in numbers, the Spanish cockerel - a creature which put up some resistance in the 1500's but was mostly fried with chips, and the common or garden squirrel, looking away - so ashamed at the state of the earth. He simply nibbles nuts now, too afraid to contemplate sandwiches or similar pleasures once so common.
Marking the distinction between good and evil is a line in the sand, red in colour to represent the tragic blood spilt as whales were callously skewered by local fisher people at the turn of the century. Note that Rocky's gloves are specifically masqueraded in an effort to cover up man's disgraceful historic rampage across the globe; he can use his fists, but ultimately the locust will survive a nuclear attack on home soil.
And that's about it really. The guesses were fairly accurate, well played.
The numbering is simply another nod to the Rocky franchise, except it should really have said 'III' instead of 'IV', but that's a little bit of artistic licence, which I hoped people wouldn't mind.

I envisage a fleet of ferrets scurrying around in the air pipes of Warner Music, overhearing tidbits at the water cooler, scuttling off to the external vents and passing on the gossip to specially-assigned pigeons who flap prodigiously across Greater London but run out of puff somewhere near Hadrian's Wall. They fall from the sky, and hit the turf where their last breaths are used diligently to convey details to The Badger Army generals, who dispatch a relay of footsoldiers to ferry the communique to Marske, whereby one will phone it through to your house.

Yes, that's about the size of it.

Tremendous read as ever, Hustler.
But what I'm going to lose sleep over tonight is the placement of the red stripe, a line in the sand if you will. The squirrel appears to be aligned with humankind, your new evil axis, positioned on the top half of the stripe. Perhaps he is, he knows he's a goner these days unless humans throw him snack remnants for sustenance. He's guilty of his new alliance and this is manifest in his turning away from his traditional team.

I kept the analysis brief DC, I thought it would have been a shame to conclude every aspect and I was conscious to not bore to smithereens the world entire. More filling can be extracted from the sandwich as you rightly suggest, and I can only hope that people can take away with them their own interpretation and a general feeling of warmth. It would be easy to nonchalantly dismiss the piece as unnecessary modern art, but it has a serious underlying theme.
But yes, the squirrel theory you have sounds decent enough to bolt on to the end.
Perhaps, H, it's the fact that small animals do not loom as large in my mental landscape as they do in yours that leaves me somewhat lacking in articulable responses. I do like squirrels, though.
The montage is like pizza, you can take it or leave it. There's usually not much commented needed either way.

The 0.1% is due to the "in the corner over there" lyric.
