Eyeballs in the sky
Now that brings back memories of the PERISHERS cartoon strip in the Mirror. When they went on holiday to the coast and the dog Boot used to look in the rock pool. The crabs in the rock pool used to refer to him as the eyeballs in the sky absolutely brilliant.
Some of the crabs believe that Boot's eyes peering down at them are a mystical visitation - "The Eyeballs in the Sky" - and this belief is exploited by a preacher crab who used their appearance as an excuse to extort money from his congregation. His efforts werer always opposed by a scientist crab who continually attempts to invent a device to break through the surface and see what the Eyeballs really are, despite the preacher's protests that he will rend the fabric of the pooliverse. The conflict usually ended up in a full-scale crab fight, and Boot is left none the wiser as to crab behaviour. Usually, one of the crabs claims that something is "bad fer y'r 'ealth".
Does anyone else remember them the cartoon ones I mean :D
