The first thing I thought of when I heard the theme for this week was "Visitors" was the 1983 mini-series "V." And of course the scene where Jane Badler eats the mouse (I thought it was a mouse-turns out it was a gerbil or guinea pig). I remember this scene was very shocking to me at the time. Check out the excellent stop motion animation below.
I'd also forgotten the cool sunglasses and the space-age swastika logo.
In my research on the topic, I found V's creator's website. Lots of great photos there.
I got the title for my illustration, from this poster. The Garp poster dates it nicely:

I wonder if whoever was the designer of the V logo was a fan of FEAR. And, great work as always.b

Fantastic! I love this concept....and I cannot believe you posted that clip of V...lol..that scene where she swallows the gerbil stayed in my head for years! It really creeped me out. I thought I was the only one who remembered that show, ha ha.
Great work!
You really went to town on your research. Great stuff!!

Oh my! I'll hide my cat if she comes to visit - she might be REALLY hungry!
Cute illustration.
Great idea, great work!

WICKED!!!
Sweeeet! I loved V, but my mom wouldn't let me watch it. I still did, but I wasn't supposed to. This is why we may never be S.B.F's with the aliens. Friends don't eat friends.
Spacetastic illo!
