Man, I havn't submitted something here in goodness knows how long.

Anyways, allow me to introduce Claude. A tapeworm/human hybrid that I cooked up in maths but developed later on. He (and I use the term 'he' loosely. He's actually a hermaphrodite but he has alot of rather boyish qualities) is fairly desensitised, no sense of smell, sight, taste and his nervous system isn't as sensitive as a normal humans (it's good enough to get by reading brail on, just about, but chop his arm off and it'll just sting alot) apart from a fairly good sense of hearing. The pink things on his face and neck are like suction cups (a normal tapeworm has four of them on a cylindrical head to help it cling to the intestinal wall) and in scale with a normal tapeworm, his tail is actually very very short. Anatomy wise, not very similar to a normal humans. No digestive track, no blood stream, no respiritory system, he does have a sort of cartalidge skeleton though. He gets most nutrients though an IV or absorbing it through the skin.

Claudes a nice guy, he just gets a little confused sometimes. I almosty forgot how bloody fun it was to work with halftones but no critasism on the background, it was deliberatly simple. Yeah, I have a strange attraction to parasites, so shoot me.
