Monster of the Day #1023

“AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! It’s adorable!”

  • Acethepug

    He has cold, dead eyes :)

  • Flangepart

    And no teeth! Mayhaps he’ll gum them to death?

  • One of the great crimes of cinema is that there never will be a Fifties Monster movie with this guy as the lead.

  • Gamera977

    So begins our sad tale as the entire tribe was devoured as Apache Chief and Aquaman argued over whose responsibly it was to save them…

    AM: It’s a aquatic monster so I should help them.

    AC: But these are my people.

    AM: Your people? They’re Cherokee!

    AC: So!?! And it’s a fresh water monster, not an ocean creature!

    AM: Go smoke a peace pipe!

    AC: Go kiss a cuttlefish!

    Green Lantern: Hey morons, the monsters eaten half the tribe, what are you two waiting for!?!

  • Flangepart

    “MEANwhile, back at the hall of justice…”

  • If I might be allowed to continue…

    AC: I don’t know, Green Lantern. What are we waiting for?

    AM: Yeah, that doesn’t look like a yellow monster to me.

    AC: You work for the BLUE SKINS, you help out the ORANGE SKINS….

    GL: Aw, come on, guys! Don’t I get enough of that from Green Arrow?

    Green Arrow: FASCIST!

    The worm turns

  • bgbear_rnh

    What happened the “sexy” covers here? If it is warm enough for the men to be wearing loin cloths, why is Poccachips dress head to toe in buckskin?

  • Ericb

    She must be a Victorian Indian.

  • Gamera977

    Meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice, Superman picks up the phone…

    ‘Hello… yeah.. well Batman recorded last nights big game and he, Black Vulcan, Flash, and I are sitting here watching it… yeah we figured Aquaman and Apache Chief could handle it, Green Lantern went along to babysit them… SAY WHAT!?! So Lantern took off to get a burrito and left those two clowns in charge!?!… hold on, HEY WONDER WOMAN, ARE YOU REAL BUSY RIGHT NOW!?!

  • Gamera977

    And so the prophecy is fulfilled of ‘The Coming of Gummy the Sock Puppet’ that would be the end of our tribe…

  • Rock Baker

    Okay, that’s the creepiest thing I’ve seen in a long while….

  • The Rev.

    I actually saw this one in a book as a lad. “The (Illustrated?) Encyclopedia of Monsters,” I think. I checked it out a few times from the local library, as you can imagine. I learned about a lot of monsters in that one years before I saw the movies (or still haven’t, in the case of, for instance, Slithis, although I found that one on the Roku and have it pegged for future watching).

    Unfortunately I don’t remember this monster’s name at the moment.

  • bgbear_rnh

    Is it supposed to be Ogopogo?

  • Beckoning Chasm

    That really does look like a sock puppet. And the structure to the right looks like a shoulder. And now I’m imagining the artist…”Okay, honey, now raise the oven mitt just so, like it’s bursting from the water! Yeah, like that!”

  • Eric Hinkle

    Am I the only one getting a ‘Turok: Son of Stone’ vibe from this cover?

  • Sandy Petersen

    another mitten-puppet monster – no doubt a relative of The Sea Serpent.
