Origin of the Species

I forgot to add in the previous post that "The Beast of Both Worlds" owes something to a little friend from Sesame Street (confronting felines and the alphabet above: certainly worthy of his own post).

From the moment I had the idea for the beast, I "knew" the head "needed" to be a red typewriter. I don't think the roots of this "knowledge" sprang to mind as immediately, but while going about coloring the rest of the monster, I realized where that red typewriter was conceived. Thanks to the nut jobs at the Children's Television Workshop for yet another permanently embedded archetype.
