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…

Thanks very much!! I'm glad that you can appreciate it without fully knowing about the character. That was my hope -- that the humor would come out regardless of people's familiarity with Cthulhu

Oh this is so funneh!
I love the expressions on everyone, especially the 'mad Ctulhu'-expression!

Damn, I just have the feeling that I have a typo somewhere..
Well, t'is okay, I'm from Finland, so english is not my native language.

Call of Ctulhu is a great game by the way!

The required 'fun-fact'-part!
Didya know that H.P. Lovecraft didn't like sports nor (card)games, 'cause he thought they are just a waste of time!
I read this from somewhere, don't remember where, but the article had a lot of details from Lovecraft's 'career' and life.

Greets to Greg, btw!

No problem, you're very welcome.

Yeah, that's what the article said. Lovecraft thought that 'having fun' was a waste of time. Like all these sport-events and games and so on. Weird dude in my opinion. But cool in his own way. At least he had a good imagination.
