	I have a story that's not entirely related to the comic, but I wanted to share it anyway. The house I grew up in was cheaply made and falling apart all my life. Leaks in the ceiling, rats and cockroaches infesting, and the like. We eventually moved into a new place, leaving the old place behind to fend for itself. Years later, we went back to clear it out so we could sell it to people that wanted to renovate (it had a very nice yard and was in a nice neighborhood). When we opened the door, there were dry corpses of every kind of local rodent. Rats, possums, raccoons, and possibly other things that I didn't recognize. You could not walk into (or through) any of the rooms without stepping on them. It was so surreal that not a single one of us (teenagers and young children) thought "Eww! Dead things!" despite any kind of roadkill triggering a gag-reflex at the sight of it nowadays.

		+	I disagree with "The joke being that such a car is so disgusting that a dead raccoon is not the worst thing that one might encounter." and what follows from that. In my view, the actual messiness of a car varies greatly for every time the phrase "I just have to clear a few things out of the back" is used. So, in my view the joke is that the messiness of the car is extrapolated to way beyond standards. The title text is just a further extrapolation.

 :::I think it was originally "[move] to the [other] side of [the car]". "Of" is being used geographically. The way it is now, "as" would be used comparatively. If we were to take this typo at face value, your suggestion seems as well as any. It's not a merkinism, btw. Merkins are pubic hair wigs....

 The backseats of some cars are really messy. I have yet to see any dead animals though, unless you count hamburgers.
