The photo used here is the famous "Surgeon's Photo", taken in 1934 and purported to be of the Loch Ness Monster until 1994 when it was admitted to be a deliberate hoax by the original perpetrator.


2019-07-07 Rerun commentary: Much like the natural ability of cryptids, aliens also have special technology in their UFOs to make them look fuzzy and indistinct in photos.

I extracted the "monster" from the Surgeon's Photo and overlaid it into the background for panels 1 and 3, with a bit of transparency to make it a bit more indistinct. In hindsight, I probably should have added a touch of Gaussian blur as well. (Or a bit more, if I did already. It's hard to tell... it's so indistinct...)
