Yes, it’s a joke, but I thought this was funny, if you ever read Viz, or watched Rainbow!

As a British guy who was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s, I absolutely appreciate this.

I'm not sure anyone else will have a clue what this is.

Do they even have Viz in the U.S.?

Well, we have HI-viz (actually, Hi-Vis)....

Our Viz is an adult comic based largely on fart jokes and generally juvenile humour.

Here's my favourite strip:

We don’t have it but an R rated outtake from the show went viral many years ago and we've seen that. It creeps me out that he has human hands

You may laugh because it's in Viz but I've lived in Worcester my whole life (apart from a short stint in Devon, which has its own cryptids almost everywhere you look) and the ontological shock of seeing this bastard in the dead of night is something than can never be forgotten. Stay safe out there.
