The Fool is Key Zero in the TIKOT! Major Arcana.

Big Toe's Ke Hupo (the Fool) is a hysterical sendup of Pamela Colman Smith's image from the Rider-Waite Tarot of the early 1900's. All the original elements are here: The mad vagabond now a grinning wooden tiki stepping off a cliff without a care in the world while his companion dog, usually potrayed as nipping at his heels, now a bug eyed beast takes a sizable bite of his ass. He still carries a satchel for his journey and a hybiscus, showing his appreciation of beauty. The number Zero is a perfect significator for the Fool, as it can become anything when he reaches his destination. Zero plus anything equals the same thing. Zero times anything equals zero.
