Hey, do you by any chance know why Crowley's license plate spells "curtain" backwards? Wish there was a Good Omens' edition with lots of notes on the margins explaining the references. I finally caught on to the fact that a lot of names are purposefully articulate (Eng isn't my first language), but there's sooo much stuff I'm probably missing because of a different cultural background

Hello, yes :). I was wondering about it for so long until this article came out! (it has many interesting fun facts).

It says:

As a nod to Terry Gilliam, who once tried to do a movie version of Good Omens, Gaiman and Mackinnon threw in a little reference to Gilliam’s origins doing animation for Monty Python.

“The license plate of Crowley’s Bentley is ‘Curtain’ backwards,” Gaiman said, because of the writing on the mausoleum in the suicidal leaves section of Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life. “Curtain backwards, like it’s the final curtain,” Mackinnon explained.

The picture from the aforementioned movie is this:

Plus the ‘final curtain’ in english is the idiom for ‘The end or the final part, especially after a lengthy existence f.e. I’m afraid that after 50 years in business, this is the final curtain.’ originating form the last time a curtain is lowered at the end of a performance.

So, as I understand it, it has more layers: it’s a nod to Terry Gilliam who almost adapted Good Omens before, it’s the nod to the fact that Crowley is a demon and there is an afterlife you might possibly go to, and it’s also a nod to the upcoming apocalypse. :)
