When grandma decides it's time to 'clean up the neighborhood' and a good whupping isn't enough.

Old Lady Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating WAY too much curds and whey.
Along came a spider
who sat down beside her and BLAM!BLAM!BLAM!
Old Lady Muffet blew it away.

They merged the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise with the "Critters" franchise & "Big Momma's House" franchise? I swear on all that is holy, Carl--this is the last time you get to pick on movie night.
The "invader" looks like a cross between Davy Jones (Pirates) & the head Krite (Critters). The "Big Momma" reference should be obvious enough. FWIW, the first "Critters" is the only one of those movies I've actually seen. I remember the rest from trailers.

I was bamboozled by this one...
I have no idea what that big thing is, but I think that greenish gray thing might be some sort of arachnid that's been eating atomic waste.

DR. B:
I know what you mean (bamboozled). I saw this just a few minutes after John posted it. I had no frame of reference that was even remotely funny, even though I saw the Critters/Pirates thing in the "arachnoid" right off.
Could have made a firearms safety crack, but they are beyond old. Let it rattle around in my head for a day & a big "whiff" fell out.
I did read something recently--Obama has signed (or is about to sign) a UN treaty that has something to do with regulating firearms trade--& I think there was some talk of putting Iran in an administrative position over it. Need to research that one a bit (all but 1 of the few old pieces I have are imported mil/surp--could make feeding them an even bigger problem than it already is).
"I am Mahmoud Ockhtohckhritirhead, & I am here for your sovereignty, infidel! Cover yourself or I keel you!"
Why are most political jokes about the Right? Maher said the stuff that Democrats do isn't funny. He's right. Leftism is too frighteningly insane to be funny (& the closer one gets to hitting on the truth, the less funny it is).
JOHN:
You had to have something in mind when you hatched this thing. It's an interesting illustration, but where would you go with it?

HEY GANG
I was interested in showing a home invasion using an alien creature that hugged the ground, yet still had enough fierce quality to look particularly dangerous. I enjoyed showing the scene from a low-angle perspective and having the foreground filled up with this matronly, unconventional pistol-packing character.
It has a movie-scene vibe that seems to ask for a Eastwood/Willis/Shwartzenegger cliche line that can be turned on its head.
It's for the ambitious few.
