Chapter 27: Have You Ever Seen a Cattle Mutilation?

Aaaaaaaaaa so many good moments this chapter! We have the end-of-arc feast, featuring the grandma duo attacking in the same way.

We also have the cow abduction scene, which, when you think about it, would aliens think humans are vampires, since we drink milk, which is their blood? At least, Mr Mantis Shrimp's species.

And I just wanted to share this photo of Momo's impression of Abe Hiroshi, which is a complete meme and more people should know about it.

Cryptid of the Day: Dover Demon 

Description: Between 10:00pm on April 21 & 22 1977, at least four people saw a strange creature on several roads in Dover, Massachusetts. Coined the Dover Demon by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, the creature was described as thin, and pale with long limbs and fingers. But its most impressive feature was its yellow eyes. Though some have theorized the monster to be a baby moose, the mystery still remains unsolved.

I LOVE cryptids and other such folktale monsters…. And drawing this was so much fun!! I actually learned about a lot of new cryptids while searching for strange critters to draw for this day

Lots of things happened this chapter, actually. The Nessie beam, Aira's powers awakening and saving Okarun from the Serpoians. We're getting into the action again!

(WARNING RANT!!!) It is such a massive pet peeve for me that both the anime and manga calls Mr. Shrimp a Dover Demon WHEN HE IS CLEARLY NOT!! With the Flatwoods Monster the Dandadan interpretation is distinct, but still contains the main important elements (The hood, big eyes w/ angry mouth, bulky chest, funny skirt which turns into the loin cloth). I saw the Flatwoods Monster in the anime and went "OH I KNOW THAT GUY!!". Mr. Shrimp looks nothing like the Dover Demon!! At it's simplist description it is a "4 feet tall [creature] with glowing orange eyes and no nose or mouth in a watermelon-shaped head" (taken from Wikipedia). Based on the sketch produced at the time it also has long spindly fingers, and these are consistent traits. As we can see, Mr. Shrimp does not tick off any of these!! His head is vaguely watermelon shaped (especially how I draw it) but generally isn't drawn like that in the manga and anime, where it takes on a very mild mushroom shape.

He has very small eyes which are white (and in his Strong form they are yellow-orange but they look like dramatic shrimp eyes, not the big orbs a Dover Demon has). His nose and mouth are the most emphasized features of his design, ESPECIALLY when we first meet him. He's short but not that short, canonically he is 4'11" in his normal form and 5'10" in his strong form. ALSO HE WEARS BIG OLE BOXING GLOVES!!! NO STRINGY GRASPERS!!! He doesn't strongly resemble any cryptids I know about in his standard form, but he does give off strong alien vibes bc of his eyestalks and funny head shape which is more than enough. His strong form is literally just the Ultraman character Baltan.

No shade to Baltan tho. I am just so miffed because why would you call him a Dover Demon, he isn't a Dover Demon!!! GRAAAH!!
