Edgar suit

A giant insect kills farmer Edgar and operates his stretched, increasingly ill-fitting male skin and clothes as a disguise.

Clerk's note —

A giant bug kills farmer Edgar and then wears him. The joke is entirely in the fit: the stolen skin is stretched, sagging and increasingly ill-fitting, and the clothes go along for the ride. Later, the bug in its Edgar suit drinks sugar water in a diner in front of a room of onlookers. The disguise is played as a costume that never quite works.
