"Weasels. What do you think they do all day?" They "plot world domination!" Detail-rich spreads show weasels in lab coats confronting technical difficulties in a mission-control-type setting. Young children don't seem to be the book's intended audience, given its rampant coffee jokes and lines like "We could reconbobulate the hydrostability devices," but this stuff will tickle a more mature (and geeky) readership.
