A reinterpretation of the Led Zeppelin IV cover, replacing the old man with branches by the Coyote with an ACME rocket, creating a connection between the character’s tragic humor and the deep themes of the album.
Both in the album and in the Coyote’s universe, the laws of physics and the rules of the world are often challenged, whether in the transcendent sound of the music or the exaggerated and ineffective plans of the character.
The inclusion of the rocket in place of the branches subverts the implicit critique of the original cover regarding unchecked progress. Here, the ACME technology symbolizes an empty promise, satirizing easy solutions and reinforcing the cycle of failed attempts.
