The artist isn't the only one who doesn't seem to know what a scorpion is--even the scientists here seem to think these things are mere insects when they are obviously zombies. I mean, scorpions don't even turn red till you cook 'em.<br /><br />Fantastic!

(I'm very attached to SNAKES, so the generalizing that happens with OTHER kinds of animal bothers me too.)<br /><br />As entertaining as this story is, it ALMOST reminds me of propaganda, the kind that would like you to think that an animal rights person is automatically an "animal rights NUT."

And certainly they're not red.<br />I like the Clark Kent look-alike, showing him gradually going insane in 1-2 pages would have been cute but hey, why bother if you can just write "his new power caused the delicate fibres of his brain to SNAP" (!)<br />The old sadistic goat just deserved it.
