Source of inspiration

This history could be inspired by the human Marionnettes of Robert A. Heinlein. In this book, the Earth is invaded by parasites being able to stick itself to any place of the human body in order to take control of it. In the cartoon however, the parasites are placed on the top of cranium and are dissimulated under an unspecified cover-chief (hat, beret, cap etc).
