Description This one is dedicated to my sweetie, and very soon-to-be husband, Greg, who is a big fan of all things Lovecraftian.

Greg plays the collectible card game “Call of Cthulhu”, and is, in fact, the national champion! (He won the National Tournament at GenCon in Indianapolis in late August). Wanna know more about the game? Click here:
[link]

For the uninitiated, the game “Call of Cthulhu” is based on a universe created by the author H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft penned many works of horror in the 1920s and became something of a cult phenomenon after his death.

Cthulhu, invented by Lovecraft, is one of the otherworldly “Great Old Ones” who sleeps beneath the sea. He will remain in this slumber until his followers manage to wake and summon him, at which point he will bring insanity, death and destruction upon our world.

Cthulhu is described as being a scaly, octopus-headed monstrosity, with the wings of a dragon and huge talons. He’s also several stories tall, apparently, but I scaled him down a bit for this cartoon.

I was wondering what would happen if Cthulhu awoke and decided to make a pit-stop at an upscale restaurant before raining all that craziness upon us lowly humans. I mean, you’d be hungry, too, after sleeping for thousands of years, right?

In my goofy imagination, these hapless waiters have a problem on their hands.

Something tells me they aren’t going to get a very good tip…

I've recently come to like cthulhu, due to the game Scribblenauts. Have you heard of it? Cthulhu is one of the few fictional characters you can summon on the game.

Cool as hell...great job! I was at Gencon too...I sketched my "Sugar Pie" cartoon while sitting in the Starbucks at the Westin. I loved all the Lovecraft stuff in the dealer's room.

Stories is an understatement Call of Cthulhu puts it in perspective:

"The thing cannot be described-there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled."

HOLY CRAP! I'm so sorry I didn't write sooner! I only come onto DA once in a blue moon nowadays. I unfortunately don't live in Pittsburgh anymore, so I can't come hang out at the Phantom like I used to. How did the graphic novel work out? I'm coming over to your page right now to check it out.
Good to see you on DA!!!!!

Hmm, I think Lovecraft described it at some point as "like one thousand freshly opened graves."

I'm liking this picture.
