Old P.D. Stuff

Dave told me the same story. I loved it, in that moment, I knew that Paul had the bizarre sense of humour and relentless attention to detail that might have made a great James Bond villain.

Here’s an X-Post Facto spoiler for you. Cluster Lizards didn’t originally look like they do now. Originally, they were supposed to be four legged critters, a cross between an alligator and a pit bull. Early scripts and sketches refer to them in that way. The whole notion of rolling critters actually came up fairly late, as one of P.D.’s inspirations.

My guess is simply that animal puppets are very hard to do. Remember that Klingon dog?
