Secret Caverns Billboard: Alien Entity

Cobleskill, New York

This part of the scene hints at the promise of Secret Caverns billboards in the next millenium. It is an alien form, speaking unintelligible gibberish. The impossible-to-read-from-the-road word balloon offers this explanation:

"IT IS OUT O' THIS WORLD!*
*editor's Note: See the erstwhile adventures of Starship Trooper #199: Joe Louie Caver Conquest of the Slackin' Dwarf Throne

The alien entity may be a speculative riff off the "Caverns Monster," a formation that is both cypher and scribe for the pliant psyche of young visitors.
