Alien Vs Pooh

I don't get what those bug things were that caused Piglet to, err, lose face.
That confused me as well. (Maybe it was something from AVP: Requiem? I've not seen that one yet...) I thought Piglet losing his face was supposed to be like Hicks getting acid splashed in his face in Aliens and burning off half his face.
 
:lol: That was awesome!

But why does Pooh Bear survive the Alien bursting from his chest but not Eeyore?
I think Eeyore survived, too; he just wanted to be put out of his misery.

Pooh survived because he's made out of fluff. He just had to sew himself closed. Eeyore's a stuffed doll, too, so he probably just needed repair.
 
Yeah, but look at the caption. "I guess if it's not too much trouble, somebody should come down here and kill me." Eeyore is clearly still alive at that point. Very damaged, but alive. And, since Pooh survived a chestburster, there's no reason Eeyore couldn't as well. Eeyore, being Eeyore, wouldn't want to survive, though.
 
I don't think it's so much that Eeyore would be genuinely suicidal as that it would simply be his nature to look at every situation in the gloomiest possible terms. After all, if he died, he wouldn't be able to keep complaining about how miserable he was.

And I'm not sure you really could kill a stuffed animal anyway.
 
Okay, the art style may not be professional, but it's still a funny mashup. And at least the artist chose to emulate the style of the original Ernest Shepard illustrations rather than the Disney stuff.

These are the immortal issues our scientists have struggled with; the physiological and psychological resiliance of talking stuffed toys, particularly in the context of xenomorph encounters. :lol: Someone should write an essay: Psychological profile of clinically depressed stuffed donkeys in aftermath of chest-burster trauma.
 
So if an Alien did emerge from a stuffed toy, would it have acid blood? Or acid-coated stuffing?

Yeah, I know, I'm thinking too much on this matter. Who cares? Let the speculation run wild.
 
Funny but seems to fall apart in it's third act. If I might apply such a serious criticism to a collection of doodles. :p
 
Yeah, bringing in the Predator and those bug things was just overdoing it. Though I liked the picture of the Predator carrying Pooh upstairs by the leg a la Christopher Robin. On the one hand, it evokes a boy carrying his beloved stuffed animal upstairs, while on the other hand, it evokes a hunter carrying away the animal he's killed as a trophy. That's inspired.
 
I thought the thing on Pooh's back was an scorpion, and we were going to end up in the Predator via an "any time...". What were those little bug dealies anyway?

And yeah, Eeyore's alive, but his wish to be killed fits in with the wish of the implanted in Aliens to be offed themselves and his own melancholy existence.
