First, the Leeches cause an Ice Age; Second, they land on Earth in atomic, blood-powered spacecraft; Third, the Leeches devour all life, which take 35 years to fully digest.
The Howler Leeches are coming |
Send more money, I'll send more stuff! |
Daggett assumes his friends have been eaten and are slowly digesting. How delightfully clever! |
The comic company offers Daggett help by way of special offers --utter junk that doesn't at all do anything-- such as "attack robot beavers" (mops with bits of twisted wire), stale chewing gum, and a rabid dog. While an absolute scam, the company accepts poorly drawn fake money.
As it turns out, Howler Leeches are real, and they have a real wicked design. Hard to see in the screen-grab, but the Leeches have a secondary jaw similar to Giger's Xenomorph, which is what they use to talk (I assume it's a second jaw, for all we know it's a recent meal's!). In an interesting twist, they attempt to keep the rabid dog as a pet.
I love how the fake Howler Leeches look nothing like the real ones. Both designs are fantastic in their own way.
The atomic, blood-propelled UFO the Howler Leeches use is also nifty:
I wonder where they get the blood to propel the UFO. |
