Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt not to use the same word again . . . when there is only one. Named after Paul Hudson, who was writing about alligators when, having used up "reptiles", he resorted to "the knobbly monsters".
Here are some classic funny newspaper knobbly monsters (compiled by Tom Churchill of The Scottish Sun)
Mr Spock: the logical, pointy-eared alien (The Sun)
Amy Winehouse: the hard-living skeletal party girl (The Sun)
Fake breasts: the tanned, soft Zeppelins (News of the World)
