Aliens:Alien Queen head and shoulders drawn by CT Thorne, references image of the car with fake alligator's head sticking out, driving off into the distance in Hill Street Blues, Series 1, Episode 10 "Gatorbait", (original airdate: March 5, 1981)?


leading from
 
 
 
a) Image of the car with fake alligator sticking out, driving off into the distance,
 
This is from a story in Hill Street Blues, Series 1, Episode 10 "Gatorbait", (original airdate: March 5, 1981) where two members of the police team get a fake female alligator on wheels out of store room to use it to disrupt Lt Hunter's yearly alligator hunt in the sewer. 
 
They stuff the fake alligator into the back of the car and we see it drive off with the mouth of the creature sticking out.

 

 
 
b) Alien Queen Head by CT Thorne for Aliens
 
 
 
 
 

c) One above the other
 


 

d)  The idea of monstrous faces sticking out of hoods

 


 


e) Mirror becomes the hand


 

 

f) Car door handles become plotting points for elbows and wrists


 

 

g) Bottom of car door window frame becomes the jaw while the corner of the car between the side window and back window becomes the throat area.

Perhaps the upper part of the alligator's mouth becomes the hood, and the very rear segment of the side window becomes the side part of the carapace shell that looks as if it should protect the side of the face.


 

 

g.ii) Rear side window becomes side face guard



 


h) Boot of the car and alien hand

h.i) Boot of car and alien hand

 


 

 

 h.ii)  Part of the boot of the car and the alien's thunm and finger


 

 

h.iii) The part of the boot of he car and thumb

 

 

h.iv) Top of side windows and car roof becomes the rear of the crest. It would be as if the upper part of the rear window frame becomes the long straigh ridge on the near side of the alien crest here, and the division between the two side windows becomes the central ridge running along the alien queen's crest

 


 

 

h.v) Turning the rear window around from one of the photographs, we might start looking at how the distorted architectural reflections in might insoire the side shapes of the alien queen's crest
