What’s that old saying? Good help is so hard to find. Well if you think help is hard to find, try writing a Craig’s List ad for minions.

“Wanted: Ghastly crime against nature to serve as menacing henchman for local supervillain. Must be self motivated, excellent communication skills, and have the ability to follow complex orders bellowed over explosions or other commotion. Tentacles and fangs a must, ability to spit acid preferred but not required. Dank dungeon living quarters provided.”

Constructed from 1 old sock, some fabric scraps, collected buttons, and luv.
