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.

Zeta

Zeta
"The solution is simple," said Zeta the supreme master of planet Galax-orr.
"Body checking from behind and high sticking must be banned from hockey!"
"There are simply too many concussions and head injuries among the players!"
All his loyal subjects quickly agreed, even though they had no idea what he was talking about.

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.

I'm not sure, but I think the new kid at school is possessed.

His head spins 'round and 'round...
He recites political speeches by Sarah Palin...

Kate Astrof

Kate-Astrof
Unknowingly to the world, the brilliant but slightly tormented artist for monsteraday.com, Robert, was a bachelor.
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?

Radiating cell phone abuse...

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.
Unfortunately, there is only one Aquarius and a lot of oil companies.

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.

The face of the Ancient One was discovered on a papyrus scroll.
This was the monster who enslaved mankind thousands of years ago and built a powerful and far-reaching kingdom.

Sort of like Walmart.

Geneticist's Hobby

geneticists-hobby
On the planet Glomm lived a geneticist who lived on the edge.
This scientist had no fear.
If his instruments indicated they were about to blow up, he just added more amino acids into the vat.
Thus, a monster was born
