tfw you've been assigned to bring in the only little people alien invaders with a (semi) working spaceship alive and gather as much information about them and their ship as possible but they keep inexplicably escaping every time you manage to catch them but they also break into your office through the vents to borrow your phone or tell you about crimes that need solving or to set something on fire and you have other cases on your desk that need your attention why won't they leave you alone you have paperwork to finish and is it too early to retire yet
you know i've always sympathized with the whole "throwing The Character into the torment nexus" posts going around tumblr but it didn't really hit me until i started my Land of the Giant deep-dive/series bible project and realized if i inflict the main cast upon Inspector Dobbs Kobick (their antagonist) enough times, the man was sure to get an aneurysm or or a hernia or an ulcer or just plain snap like a twig from the stress. there's a reason he shows up more often in my proposed series than he did in the original series (only 8 episodes, which is a damn shame)
for my version of kobick, i'm sticking closer to his original actor/design because 1. kevin hagen was a pretty good actor and endeared me to this character and B. it was A Look and who am i to think i could improve on perfection? minor differences include hairstyle/color, glasses frames, and his pocket watch chain, but it's still the recognizable original outfit for the most part
kobick never took off his suit jacket on the show, but i spent time on this fucking waistcoat so you're going to see it goddamnit
also a quick recreation of what i've dubbed the Fuck Ass Shit Suit from kobick's final appearance on the show because god fuck it was such a fucking downgrade what the absolute fuck was going on here. where the hell are his glasses? they even gave him a fucking wristwatch! disgusting.
evidence/rant concerning the FAS Suit + the original attempt at this pose and also a clear shot of his expression
