What's on the cover of The Ultimate Vehicle?

[Balok]

So far I have found:

Two Energizer batteries
A decapitated Cabbage Patch kid
A Cabbage Patch kid head
Two cans of Budweiser
A pizza box
An issue of X-Men
An magazine that could be "Dragon"
A banana peel

Edited to add more:
A TDK videocassette
Several CDs
An action figure I don't recognize.

I tried to figure out who the perp in the back of the squad car might be, but I can't make him out well enough.

Look at TUV pg. 151 for another in-joke:).

You mean the program running on the laptop?

Are those not old enemies books in the dumpster?

[Nato]

Dang, I wish you could see the actual painting. It would be so much clearer. Do you guys want to keep guessing. Or do you want me just tell you straigh up?

Pending DOJ's approval, could you post a high-res close-up of the dumpster?

Or, maybe I'm mistaken and Nato is some sort of quasi-neo-Impressionist, and is deliberately painting in little squares. :)

Oh, I'm into wierd art movements. But the cover pixelation is all because the printer accidentally used a low res version of the cover image.

I'd be in to posting a close-up of the trash on this thread if Steve says OK.

I can't believe I forgot this one:

Magic 8-ball.

I hope Hero is getting a partial refund or future discount for that. That's a pretty obvious problem that should have been caught on press immediately.

Immediately.

Page 124, I can read the comments chalked onto the middle and right-hand bombs, but can't quite read the one on the left-hand bomb. Something about Hussein?

(Not a reproduction problem as far as I can tell, that bomb just got dropped earlier so fell further.)

[Nato]

Oh, that would be a message scrawled by an American Bombadeer adressed to a certain notorious WWII dictator.

It looks like "little (heart) muscle" to me

D'oh! it's:
Hitler "hearts" Musclini :o
