Anatomy of a Lou Carcolh - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Lou Carcolh

DESCRIPTION: A monstrous snail-like creature sits roaring in a muddle of green ooze. His shell fades from orange to yellow to green with dark spikes protruding. His head is more dragon-like, with horns sticking out the side, tentacles poking up and coming down from the side of his mouth, and spines going down his head. His snail-body is a fleshy pink, with spots and bumps. the whole thing is very gross.

JOKES:
- He’s a legendary snail-serpent from French folklore.
- (pointing to previous line) But doesn’t LOU CARCOLH sound like a guy who sells you quality deli meats at quality deli prices?
- He’s got the skin of a wet portabello mushroom left in a sauna.
- When your body is basically a musular sleeping bag that never stops leaking.
- In Pokémon, you encounter this guy and go “You knwo what? I don’t GOTTA catch ‘em all.”
- He once entered a French cooking contest as both the chef — and the entree — by mistake.
- He’s on a strict no-salt diet.
- Imagine going through life just SOAKED in aloe vera gel.
