Any suggestions for a better tag than “topless”?

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don’t need to see any more
To know that
You’re about to be torn apart by alligators.
Sort of got away from me at the end, there.

@TW: ‘yes no torso’.

I guess it’s a bundle of optic nerves.

Dammit, Terry Gilliam, you made it look so easy. It is not easy.

This is what happens to you if you don’t walk through that footbath at the local swimming pool.

When I turn on a giant worm hole eye I too keep an army of crocodiles around to bite through the power cord!

“Hi there. You might remember me from such awful book covers like ‘Monster of the Maze’ and ‘Circus World’. Well, I’m here to tell you about something you may have the wrong idea about; reverse mortgages…”

@ SI—I don’t think that alligator (crocodile?) is about to bite through the power cord. I just think he’s yawning because he’s stuck on such a boring cover.
By the way, here’s another reason to miss Dead Stuff, who at least would know whether they are crocs or gators.

@B. Chiclitz – It’s obviously a crocogator, which are indigenous to Portmanteau Parish, Louisiana.

@Sir Tag—Back atcha for “Portmanteau Parish.”
Now fix that spelling error (5)!
May 8th, 2018 at 5:29 pm
@BC. – The egregeous typo has been fixed.

I have to say, I’ve never seen tears that look like that.
May 8th, 2018 at 6:32 pm
@ Anna T. – Those are “crocodile tears”.
May 8th, 2018 at 6:43 pm
@Tag Wiz—By “fixed” you seem to mean “eliminated.” Funny, my Uncle Vito always used the word in that way. “Big Tony? The one who’s been skimming? That’s been fixed,” he would say, with a little twinkle in his eye and a small stifled chuckle.
And GSS on “egregeous”!

It’s far from the main issue with that cover, but I don’t think crocodiles come in that color.
May 8th, 2018 at 7:30 pm
Well, that’s one way the Indian Rope Trick can go wrong – when you get it right in the eye…

@Tag: “bisected”?
Why is the half-person oozing out of or into the eyeball with a power cord, and what’s the power cord attached to (either end)? Since when are sky eyes portals?
Is this what happens when you drop acid in Florida? It would explain a lot of those stories that come out of Florida.
You’re at a beach party under the palm trees, wearing your swim trunks, plugging in the sound system for some tunes, when BAM someone spikes the punch and you hallucinate sky-eyes while the gators close in on you.
The comments are particularly good and punny today. GSS, GSS.

Oh, and, if anyone cares, crocodiles. Bulbous snout allows that one tooth on the lower jaw to stick out when the mouth is closed.

I’m fairly certain that “crocogator” is the proper term for all the critters on these covers — so many of them are ambiguous as to species. Sometimes they can be identified (like here) but so often not.
