CTHULHU IN THE COMICS
Webcomics, that is! These sanity-destroying horrors will be archived here as Ryleh discovers their lonely and isolated hiding places on the Web. Some things were simply not meant for Man to know -- you have been warned!
WHY WE ARE HERE
At last: the Truth revealed -- the sanity-blasting, mind-destroying, soul-searing Penultimate Truth behind the Cthulhu Mythos, that is! It's all here in a simple, easy-to-read Jack Chick format which even the undeveloped mind of an insignificant semi-evolved ape descendant should be able to comprehend, albeit with some study. A PDF file of this same tract is also offered at this site. Download it, print it out and share it with your friends! Better yet, share it with the world: under windshield wipers at the mall or on urinals in mens' restrooms seem to be favored locations for distribution. Enjoy. IA!
OCTODOG'S FRANKFURTER CONVERTER
"the fun, simple and safer way to turn ordinary hotdogs into exciting to cook and super fun to eat... Octodogs!" The only thing they left out was the word "Amazing!!!"
THE H.P. LOVECRAFT HISTORICAL SOCIETY
"celebrates Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos by producing movies, audio CDs, live action gaming, and other curiosities." An eclectic site offering a wide variety of Mythos and Cthulhu material, including CDs, movie trailers, LARP props and more.
S-P-O-N-G-E
"an organization dedicated to exposing and uprooting the unspeakable horrors that exist on the fringes of our awareness. You can join, and help to defeat the slimy doers of evil! Fill out the historian application, and become part of the SPONGE Historian Network."
THE EVIL (YET STRANGELY HILARIOUS) GALLERY OF YOG-SOTHOTH
Their motto: "Just because it's evil from beyond the stars doesn't mean we can't have a good laugh" says it all. "Cute and Cuddly Cthulu," "Cooking With Cthulhu" and "Cartoon Cthulhu" are just some of the galleries you'll find on this site. (Humor)
O RL'YEH?
"Don't miss out on the latest LOL craze: LOLTHULHU!" In the same style as LOLCATS -- not to mention many of the motivational posters we all know and love from corporate cubefarm walls! -- here you'll find a sample collection of the best sayings of LOLTHULHU. If nothing else, it does help the time pass 'til the stars are right. (Humor)
-- THE INSECTS FROM SHAGGY:
Daphne Pickman relates all the gory details how the "Mystery Machine" and her fellow investigators fell victim to madness and various grisly, ghastly deaths while inquiring into the Mythos. Her survival was nothing if not miraculous. (Humor)
THE IDEAL CoC INVESTIGATION:
from one player's (admittedly subjective) point-of-view. It always pays to be on the winning side. It's even better when you can just phone your Mythos investigation in! (Humor)
INVESTIGATOR TIPS:
Or, "How to Survive Scary Situations". Being a series of valuable hints and suggestions for CoC investigators, students of the occult and other delvers into the Unknown. (Humor)
BRUNO THE BANDIT:
WebComicStrip. Lying, cheating and stealing is all in a day's work for that handsome low-life and n'er-do-well, Bruno who, along with his much-smarter micro-dragon sidekick, Fiona, valiantly -- and vainly! -- pursues a slapstick criminal career through the streets of Suna, capitol city of the Kingdom of Rothland. Meet the Dread Lord Numth'Kul and his girlfriend, Shub Megawrath -- with guest appearances by Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep and a host of Others from beyond the Gulfs of Space! Strip updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
THE CALL OF WHATEVER:
WebComicStrip. TCOW details the hilarious adventures of four young Cthulhu Cultists trying to run an Occult Tech-Support Hotline with two "Spawn of Cthulhu" sidekicks and a pet "Hound of Tindalos"! While the artwork is inconsistent from one strip to the next, this parody of HPL's Mythos world is outrageously funny throughout. Alas, but this strip is no longer being updated.
WHAT LOVECRAFTIAN ARCHETYPE ARE YOU?
Are you a Paranormal Investigator or a Cthuvian Cultist? Maybe you're Nyarlathotep or Great Cthulhu in disguise! Take this quiz and you'll know for sure. IA! CTHULHU!! IA!!!
WHO WILL BE EATEN FIRST?
Jack Chick meets Great Cthulhu in this outrageous -- and hilarious! -- sendup of those fundamentalist religious tracts usually found on the urinals of mens' restrooms or in the stalls of most public privies. Needless to say, Mr. Chick comes off second-best!
KTHULHU KITSCH
Always wanted to cuddle a plush Cthulhu? How about adding an "Arkham Aquarium and Zoo" T-shirt to your wardrobe -- or the Cthulhu Devotional Candle to your altar? All these are available from Kthulhu Kitsch, online! IMPORTANT NOTE: this link does NOT constitute an endorsement of nor recommendation by Ryleh to purchase any product or service offered by Kthulhu Kitsch.

CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CTHULHU
"Revel in the wonders of the Undead God while you still can. Join now and avoid the panicked rush of the mob later. In fact, later may be TOO LATE! Wouldn't you really rather be one of us???"
INVERTED KINGDOM

THE GREAT OLD ONES SONG:
With apologies to Harry Belefonte, this take-off on "The Banana Boat Song" is still a work in progress... (Humor)
HOW TO BE A CULTIST:
This page offers a series of "hints and tips" on being a successful Cthulhu cultist--or, at least, a long-lived one! Originally presented as "Pagan Humor" of the Discordian path, simply substitute "Cthulhu entity" for "demons" and "Dark Lords" where appropriate. (Humor)
THE GREAT OLD ONES SUE BILL GATES:
(Humor). When these guys slap you with a "cease-and-desist" order, not even your corporate lawyers are going to be able to save you!
FEVER DREAMS:
wherein may be found a mercifully-short collection of Ryleh's poetry inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, usually late at night after reading the posts on alt.horror.cthulhu--with pizza and beer on the side. Hence the title: Fever Dreams!
