Description
A rather humorous take on Wilbur Whateley and Henry Armitage's conversation regarding the Necronomicon.I swear, no matter how many times I draw Wilbur his hair is always going to vary in length - here he's trying to upstage Rapunzel.
I think I'll draw Mr Armitage more often - that beard must be studied and perfected!
Yup, I have no life.

Aka the REAL reason why Wilbur wasn't allowed to have the book and thus had to resort to theft.

I also really love that Wilbur was actually really polite about all this. Like, Wilbur was an eight foot tall monster with a gun. He could have easily killed or overpowered this 73 year old man and made off with the Necronomicon. Instead he was all like, "It's cool. I'll try the next library over."

Maybe he didn't want to attract (even more) unnecessary attention? Because if he attacked the librarian, he'd probably be arrested before he could get to the train station - after all, he is very peculiar-looking, so the authorities wouldn't have any problems locating him.Β
"It's cool. I'll try the next library over." -> hehehe, I know, right? That was rather stupid of him, though, because Armitage alerted his colleagues. But Wilbur just HAD to make a parting shot, didn't he?

I would really like to know how that correspondence went. βResearch is going well. Still waiting on that grant. Btw thereβs this eight foot tall guy trying to summon Yog-Sathoth. Do NOT lend him the Necronomicon. See you at the yearly picnic.β

He probably used the phone, but otherwise yeah.

Also, with Armitage freaking out when he sees Wilbur's dead naked body and thinks that a monster that looks like that should be "eradicated" on sight, but apparently trying to summon Yog-Sathoth and wiping out all life only merits a library ban.
I know that Lovecraft monsters do evil things and are a threat to humanity, but when I read about Curtis Whateley raving about how the Twin looks so monstrous and ugly, I can't help but think that he's just being a judgemental a-hole. I mean, the creature already cracked a house open like an egg and ate everyone inside. You telling me that it looks like a giant mass of tentacles with a face won't make me think it's even more monstrous.

Wilbur, a Known 15-year-old: THIS IS BULL$#!7

Nah, I checked the timeline - 'The Dunwich Horror' is very specific about years and days.
That's how I was also figured out that Wilbur is an Aquarius.

I thought that part of the story was kind of funny. βHere, Iβll let you read over my shoulder while I look at the part in the book which explains how to identify hybrids. Wait, why are you looking at me like that?β

I'm guessing Wilbur didn't have the Evil Overlord List among his books.

...Β it βud be a mortal sin to let a red-tape rule hold me up.
Wilbur thinks he's better than the other readers.

Letting the library card expire it's one of the most terrible things Wilbur ever did. u.u

Also one of the stupidest - it got him killed.
(I've never had my library card expire - even though I probably would've still got the books I want, since the entire library staff knows me by name and we greet each other when we happen to meet in town)

It's the cuuuuurse of the library caaaaaards. (~0.0)~
(My only library card was the one I got when I entered college. It was reniewed by my college itself every term, after the enrollment process. The other libraries I attended didn't require cards, just a cadastre in the first borrowing and, from then on, an ID. In one of them, I didn't even need to show the ID, because the librarian knew all my family. xD)

Bureaucracy rules all!
Neither do I - like I said, the entire staff knows me, plus I've seen the entire staff gradually change at least three times, only the head librarian is still the same.

Thank you!!
Wilbur is especially difficult to draw with other characters - he's supposed to be like, 8 feet tall! I need to make a reference sheet someday...

Yeah, this seems to be useful )

I've always felt that Lovecraft, awesome as he is, could use some humour in his Mythos... Yay for parody!!

Playing a Lovecraft story in RPG with many friends is a great and a very interesting experience
