A pudgy man wearing a black frock coat, top hat, white gloves, and spats desperately clings to the edge of a cloud, assisted by a pair of tiny wings, as angry shouts emanate from the ground below, and objects are hurled up at him.

"Come, enter quick," St. Peter then replied;
"Heaven's joys to such as you are not denied."
