This was a fucking bomb dropping on Beaver Cleaverville. For a few seconds, this place was Armageddon! There was a firefight!

— Paul Smecker

Three miniature houses stand on a low blue mound beside a small black spherical bomb with a curved fuse.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

Smecker is exaggerating wildly about a shootout in a quiet, wholesome neighbourhood. Comparing it to a bomb and Armageddon makes a few seconds of gunfire sound apocalyptic. The 'Beaver Cleaverville' jab adds mockery of how ordinary the place normally is.
