Innsmouth seams like a perfectly reasonable place to have a vacations home. Great sea air, plenty of fresh seafood. I see no downside to this.
Lets not dwell on the horrifically interbred deep ones and how they will one day rise up and kill us all. Zombies are a more immediate threat.
I love all things Lovecraftian.
The Innsmouth Look is something you find in H.P. Lovecraft’s Novella “A Shadow Over Innsmouth.” One of my favorite stories by the way. I love the idea of an entire town slowly changing into “Deep One’s.” Also don’t complain about spoilers, it’s not exactly a secret and the story was written in 1931.
I live in Utah, arguably one of the most landlocked states in the nation. You would think that large bodies of water wouldn’t terrify me. However, I can truthfully tell you that thanks to H.P. Lovecraft and movies like Jaws I am afraid of the ocean. There’s things in there! And they want to kill you.
Come to think of it in Max Brook’s novel “World War Z” it’s a bad idea to go swimming as zombies tend to hang around in the water. They just wonder around down there waiting to bite some poor sucker’s ankles…..
That’s it! I’m staying away from the water from now one.
In fact I’m not even going to bathe anymore. You can never be to careful. You’ll all just have to learn to enjoy my manly stink.
The Cutest Deep One Of Them All!
The pastry that will raise the dead
Now I know what I want for my birthday and it sure as hell ain’t world peace. I want a cake made to look like The Necronomicon: The book of the dead written by the mad arab Abdul Alhazred.
Yes I know it’s not a real book, but an invention of H.P. Lovecraft for his Cthulhu mythos…… I don’t care, I want one. And I want it in cake form. Nothing more will satisfy me than a deliciously damned blasted tome of unknowable evil that will drive men to madness and doom….. WITH FROSTING! GLEEEEEEEEE!
I did make a Necronomicon of my very own and that was fun, but unless I get super hungry I don’t think I’m going to try eating that one.
Awesome find by Fox Ravenwolf. Thanks!
My children need this
I love zombies with an all consuming passion that goes beyond healthy and makes my in-laws nervous. It’s what I do, it’s what I love.
Second only to that is H.P. Lovecraft. This is a great mashup of H.P. Lovecraft’s “The call of Cthulhu” and the style of Dr. Suess.
This is the work of one DrFaustusAU who’s work is awesome. Check it out for more pages.
Thanks Alicia for the find. This is awesome.
Awwww Cthulhu is so adorably evil. I just want to give him a big hug… Then probably go insane. It’s nice to see him run amok finally through the comic.
I went to a SciFi convention in Utah this year called “Conduit” it was my first time (Yes they were gentle) and it was a blast. Met some really cool people, hugged a furry (I pretended it wasn’t a dude) and was amazed at some of the Cthulhu products out their.
They had Key Chains of Cthulhu. They had knitted versions of Cthulhu, toys, etc… Anything you could want Cthulhuized!
The place was overflowing with cute and adorable Cthulhus… Cthulhu’s…. Cthulii. What the hell is the plural for Cthulhu anyway?
I wonder what H.P. Lovecraft would have thought about how his creation has integrated it’s way into today’s nerd culture.
It’s just my personal opinion, but I think Cthulhu and zombies are two great tastes that go great together. It’s like chocolate and peanut butter, only rotting flesh and eldritch elder beings of unfathomable evil. That’s close enough right?
I like doing the larger format of the comic, I wish I had the time to do it this way every time, but I still have to get faster. Originally I started this comic to get better at drawing, I hope that’s coming along. I like to flatter myself that the newer comics are better than the old ones.
But still, must get faster.
I spent more time on this comic than I usually do. It had tentacles so I had to do it. Now I command you, LOVE ME. LOOOOOVVVEEEE MMMMEEEEEE!
But not in that slappy awkward way, I’m married.
We approach the end of the comic’s current story arc and as you can see from the comic above it is going to hit the fan. I am looking forward to the ridiculous over the top wanton destruction that will soon come to pass. It’ll be like one of my family reunions but with fewer nasty jello and yam deserts. Honestly Yams? Who eats that crap? Bleaaak!
You can blame H.P. Lovecraft for my love of horrible monster with Tentacles, they run a very close second to zombies on my list of things that I love. I’ve been looking for an excuse to mix Cthulhu Mythos monsters into my zombie comic for a while. Love them so much.
