“And then you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like – ”
“BLAAAAARRRP!!!”

Trunks or legs?

“Don’t be upset, doc. I’ve just lost a filling but I have no idea which tooth so I need you to check me out. By the way, just clamp that nitrous hose over this appendage here, OK?”

That is the second ugliest elephant I’ve ever seen.

I never said “elephant”! I said the cover art is irrelevant!
I guess you’ve proved my point.

No spoilers, but that’s a pretty accurate depiction of the aliens in the story. There is also a misty place in it, the only extraneous element is therefore the BLARPP!
Go figure.

Downward to the earth, pursued by a heffalump.
I guess maybe the dude could have a dorkier look on his face, but I don’t know how.

@GSS x-n: Maybe the guy’s feeling woozle. Er, I mean, woozy.

That’s a terribly horny elephant.

@THX 1139: and the flatulence jokes just write themselves, don’t they?
Is that alien meant to have three trunks? Otherwise it looks like it has two little legs growing right out of its head.

I am puzzled at this depiction because no one suffers a heart attack in the book!

Well it’s your own damn fault elephant. Walking around sporting all that ivory bling. No wonder you’re dead and in heaven.

“Queen Cersei! *pant, pant* I hope I’m not to late, but I found you an elephant, sort of.”

It has rather a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure look to it. Young punk, weird clothes, stand.

So do you want to talk about the elephant in the room?

Can you make other animals with a bead kit? Is it to scale?
