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:

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…

And for the record, "Cthulhu" is typically pronounced "kuh-THOO-loo"

And knowing is half the battle!

You know, I thought that too...but after looking it up on Wikipedia apparently Lovecraft tended to pronounce it "Khlûl'-hloo", but it doesn't really matter since he says that's just the closest the human mouth can come to pronouncing an alien tongue...

If you don't mind, I'd like to post this in the wetlab for all my co-workers to see, since we look at a lot of squid innards. Too funny! I've been aware of Cthulhu since high school science fiction club, but never actually read Lovecraft. I suppose I should someday...

Have you seen the cuddly Cthulhus? Here's the Christmas Cthulhu - [link]

Oh, absolutely! Please do post it!!! I hope your colleagues get a kick out of it!

Actually, I own two Cthulhus: a regular one and a "Men In Black" one. The MIB one is wearing a black suit and tie, and wears sunglasses. I dressed them both up in wedding garb, and they'll both make appearances at the reception! Hee hee!!!!!

LOL!!! Yeah, somehow that’s a rule of comedy:
Sitting big people into little seats is inherently funny

I think another rule is:
When all else fails, put a guy in a dress.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to use that here. Hee hee.
Thanks for the comment!! Glad you liked

Terra-McBassman In reply to ??? [2005-09-09 22:54:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah! that's good stuff right there! And I'm pretty sure it deserves a fave too!

Nonetheless, now that I know Cthulhu is supposed to be OCTOPUS-headed, I'm confused. I've always seen him more as squid-headed. I'm kind of squid-savvy (don't ask why...) and that body shape and tentacle lenght/number is much more the characteristics of a squid than an octopus.

Who's wrong? The world's way of picturing him or your quotation of his description?

But anyway, still fun stuff, still worthy of faving.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DrChrissy In reply to Terra-McBassman [2005-09-10 21:21:31 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... good points, actually. I've always heard him described as a sort of "Octopus" headed beast, but I've seen plenty of renditions that look much more "Squid" headed.

Well, as long as it has tentacles and is fugly, I guess it's six on one hand and half a dozen on the other.

Or would that be eight on one head...?

Har har!!!

Anyway, very glad you got a kick out of it, and thanks muchly for the fave!!!!
