The Telepathic Preacher

telepathic-preacher
The Telepathic Preacher is very efficient at confession time.
You can't get away with a thing.
You'll walk in thinking maybe all you will confess about was that rowdy office X-Mas party.
But you'll walk out after admitting every little thing ever!
Boy, talk about Hail Marys...
I still have 13,456 left to recite!

Sphynx

sphynx_small
The living Sphynx floated in the strange ether of the nether world, watching the pyramids being built by the ancient Egyptians in his mirror between worlds.
"I don't understand why you are interested in these ants," declared Anubis.
"I find them fascinating," replied the Sphynx. "One day I might even go there for a day trip."
Little did he know of the petrification effect.

Spinning Top Head

spinning-top-head
As it rolled down the stairs of Freedom...
And bounced into Freedom hall...
And was ushered in to talk to the Freedom Council...
It occurred to the Spinning Top Head it was time his kind became a little more creative at least in finding new names.

In the dream of the monster

monster-dream
In the dream of the monster, he was trapped in the body of another monster in another dimension and he could not speak.
Someone offered him yet another over sized glass full of Hungarian sparkling white wine and a plate full of crackers topped with smoked salmon and cream cheese.
When the monster woke up, the party had died down and the last intoxicated guests were stumbling out into waiting taxis, singing television cartoon themes.
The living room was in shambles and the large screen television was broken.
There were empty bottles everywhere.
The monster held his throbbing head in both hands.
He wondered where his strange dream might have come from.

Kate Astrof

In the past, he had had girlfriends, but they had always been of the same pattern.
Which was temperamental, high strung and with frequent emotional meltdowns.
One had an explosive temper.
One of them flung dish plates at Robert's head.
They were all a bit scary in their own way
Despite strong evidence to the contrary, his family sided with Robert and decided it wasn't his fault at all.
Robert's older brother advised him that if this pattern remained unchanged, his next girlfriend might stab him to death.
So Robert sort of decided he was going to stay single for a while.
Then he met Kate Astrof...

Humant

humant_small
It is a little known fact that the 0 calorie artificial sweetener aspartame kills ants very effectively.
This is the same product you can find in most "no calorie" soda drinks.
Humant did not know about this.
And of course there was no one left after he had wiped out mankind to remind him not to drink that stuff even though it tasted great.
How ironic!

Henchman Clone

henchman-clone
It's hard to say who is responsible for the Henchman Clone monster.
The doctors who invented the genetic recipes in their laboratories?
The multinational corporations who marketed the Henchman Clone as an educational baby toy?
Or the political lobbyists who paid for lavish cocktail parties in honor of the ruling party in power, to convince them that the sweeping contagion was actually a good thing?

The Debrained monster was created through childhood television addiction...
Radiating cell phone abuse...
Mind controlling substances added to the food and water...
Not to mention the lack of fresh air and exercice.

Aquarius

Aquarius is a mutant who swims in the Gulf of Mexico.
He breathes in tar balls and exhales water.
This makes him a valuable resource to oil companies who have accidentally spilled oil through gross negligence and uncontrolled cost-cutting.

The Angry Cat King

"Death to the peons!" hissed the angry Cat King.
"They have become a nuisance."
"But the humans also serve a purpose, revered one!" pleaded the High Cat Priest. "For they milk the cows with which we are fed!"
And so, as the High Cat Priest was led away to be executed at the order of the king, he could not help but think a serious management mistake had just been made.

Being naked in a voting booth with only liberal candidates on the ballot list.

On the planet Glomm lived a geneticist who lived on the edge.

Teddy the Third Class Demon

demon-3rd-class
Teddy hated to be called a greenhorn by all the other demons.
He couldn't wait to be all purple and crimson and fiery.

Unfortunately, none of the higher ups ever seemed to die down here in Hades.

Bug

When Bug invaded the house, looking to bite flesh and to suck blood, no one thought it was a big deal.
A quick hit with a fly swatter would do the trick, they thought.
But Bug was extraterrestrial, and he soon grew exponentially bigger.
And hungrier...

Bad Thought

bad-thought
Bad Thought had always been a pessimist.
He always had a lot of dark ideas floating around his head.
Then one day he was hit in the face by a pepperoni pizza.

On the other hand, it sure tasted good.

Baby Thunderbird

baby-thunderbird

When he grew big enough, he ate his Mom.
She really didn't see it coming, either.
It's like that in some households.

Don't look in the pockets of your overcoat.

The Black Magician

black-magician
The Black Magician was never good with explosives.
Once he tried putting some gun powder on his fingertips so that when he snapped his fingers, there would be a momentary burst of light and a puff of smoke, allowing him to mysteriously disappear at the end of his act.
Naturally, he miscalculated the amount of powder required.
Ultimately, the workers compensation board refused to accept his application for a work-related mishap, citing gross negligence, the damage that had been done to his employer's premises, as well as the few fatalities in the audience.

Under the Blanket

Under-the-blanket
Under the Blanket might be a purse filled with gold.
Or a malediction that might steal your soul.
Or a magical genie that might make you all your wishes come true.
Or a stinky monster that hasn't bathed in a month.

Going Back to the Sea

It was a really swell party.
It was a really nice summer day and a lot of good wine flowed.
It started with someone horsing around with a pretty girl, and eventually someone got thrown in the swimming pool.
It was a really big swimming pool.
Then a lot of people started jumping into that pool.
With their party dresses on and all.
Meanwhile, one of the guests slinked away and went back to the sea.

You could say, "Pointy Teeth'R'Us".
Therefore, we are proud to present a new monster to you today, the Hound of Hell.
He is a case in point.

Green Bird

voodoo-bird
Green Bird, the last of his kind, was hidden up above in the dense foliage of the jungle.
He watched the weary explorers below hack their way through the dense underbrush with machetes.
Slowly the scientific expedition bore on in the stifling humidity, in the quest to find new species of fauna.
Unfortunately, they were all too busy talking on their cell phones so they never spotted Green Bird.

Swallow it! More! Swallow it I say!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Animal Guy

animal-guy
Animal Guy was a wise and ancient monster who believed in reincarnation.
In fact, occasionally when he slept he would remember a past life in a dream.
Once he had been a cricket, which had been swallowed by a toad.
Obce he had been an inert rock, rolling down a hill and splashing the pond, chasing away the toads.
Once he had been a sexy slave girl too, who was eventually stoned to death in public for chewing gum at the King's funeral.
And so on, and so forth.

The Playful Ex-President

playfull-ex-president
"Ha, ha, ha, kids! Come sit on my lap and I will tell you wonderful stories of democracy," said the Playful Ex-President who had just risen from the grave.
"In my time we had a carrot and a stick, and occasionally some mortar fire and bayonets to convince other folks about the free and equal practice of political self-determination."
The Ex-President paused a moment to take a bite of flesh from the arm of a screaming little one.
"Yum, yum! Freedom flesh!"

Zombinsky

Zombinsky_small
Zombinsky heatedly promotes a non-hierarchical, non-bureaucratic, stateless society without private property in the means of production.
Once private property is abolished, individuals are no longer deprived of access to means of production so they can freely associate themselves (without social constraint) to produce and reproduce their own conditions of existence and fulfill their needs and desires.
This would bring about an end to class society, i.e. there would be no more owners neither proletarians.
No more keeping up with the Joneses.
