And back to the desperate search for the missing Necronomicon.
I was working my way back to the comic’s main story. I knew I’d get there eventually, but it had been a while since I brought Moon back into things. What better way than to have him being savaged by a book of unfathomable evil. I love the Necronomicon.
When handling the most evil book ever written (The Necronomicon… Not Twilight), a book that could very well usher in an age of madness and doom, you should probably put your most “Skilled” person on the job and take the utmost care.
…. or I guess you could screw it up on purpose. Being responsible for an apocalypse does carry with it a certain amount of prestige.
For the record I am making another Necronomicon to I can take it to the “Conduit” convention in May. I’ll make another tutorial about it and get it up… eventually.
It will probably be in no way as evil at Twilight, but I’m going to give it my best try.
…Also Edward Cullen is a big fat jerk who doesn’t return his phone calls.
You would think that that would be a very obvious statement, but Japan is a weird place and I’ve…. seen… things. Things that once seen cannot be unseen… No matter how much I drink to kill the pain.
Here’s something else that the Necronomicon is NOT, it’s not real. Sadly the Necronomicon is a fictional book first thought up in H.P. Lovecraft’s story “The Hound” which was written in 1922. It’s a literary device to create mood and mystery in some of Lovecraft’s short stories.
“But, Carter!” You say, “I picked up a copy at my local Barnes and Nobles last week and I’m currently summoning the old ones to finish my chores so I can play more video games.”
Again, sadly no. What you probably have in your hands is one of the many hoaxes that have been made over the years. The most likely one being the “Simon Necronomicon” that was put together in the 70′s by two guys in a Brooklyn book store who were really into a lot of drugs If I remember the story right.
There are people out there determined to believe it’s a real book though and not a literary device by a horror writer… People are weird.
Also there is this, I posted it before but it’s so awesome it deserves a further look.
I do love giving Twilight fans a hard time, but even I have to admit this joke is pretty low hanging fruit.
Still… made me laugh so I did it anyway. Sue me. Besides I have to get this little zombie webcomic story going. I’ve got our heroes Romey and Moon searching the Nerd Shack for a way to help poor Lovecraft who seams to have spent an amazing amount of time in a bucket. That’s got to suck.
