c) Perhaps a flag at the bottom left of the Radio Times cover, that intersects with a spectator's head turns into the dead face hugger.

trophy cup and facehugger tale by egg

d) The prize cup handle turns into the facehugger tale and the ball to the left "F A CUP FINAL" turns into the space jockey's head.

e) Perhaps the slant on the left side of the crowd of people and the man reaching out for the ball helps the development of the idea of the triangle.

f) The binoculars helps the development of the division in the female figure's body.
