The most striking feature is the man's eyes.

Some of the comments compare the man to the aliens from the film "Mars Attacks," while another comment was a photo of the shrunken head man in "Beetlejuice."

Many are also comparing the man to Michael Jackson's zombie makeup from "Thriller."

The image has nearly 40,000 shares and over 17,000 comments.

While the drawing may be getting laughs and likes online, police are searching for him in relation to peeping and the sexual assault of a woman, KTXL reported.
