Anatomy of a Kuartam - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of the Kuartam

DESCRIPTION: A hybrid frog-jaguar creature stands in a puddle. His front legs are large, muscular, and claw’d. His giant frog-face has it’s mouth wide open. Jaguar-spots extend down its’ back and jaguar-tail. Its’ back legs are green frog legs.

JOKES:
- The Kuartam is a legendary toad from the Shuar people of Ecuador. He magically transporms into a man-eating jaguar if you make fun of him.
- (pointing to previous joke) I have that same power when made fun of! Except instead of a jaguar, I turn into a deflated soufflé of a human being.
- Every night, he sings the unique phrase “Kuartam-tan”, which is how he got his name!
- (Pointing to previous joke) Although loclas aren’t sure what to call him now that he’s started singing “My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.”
- Bruce Banner becomes The Hulk when angry. The Kuartam becomes a jaguar when insulted. Humans LOVE to invent monsters that basically express “My feelings are super fragile and I will make it everyone else’s problem!”
- You guys, the kuartam becomes a jaguar when someone makes fun of him, SO NO ONE LET HIM ON REDDIT.
- Thank goodness he turns into a jaguar, and not a Jaguar. A cat is terrifying; a British car that won’t start is just sad.
