Yes, I have seen these, and favorited them from my own Deviant Art account ( gytalf2000.deviantart.com ). Wonderful story, isn’t it?

Awesome! I too want to buy the hardcover copy if it’s ever published!

Thanks for reminding me to check it for updates. I’ve had it bookmarked for a while, waiting for him to do more pages. It’s beautifully done.

This is just brilliant. And extraordinarily well done, too; I really liked:

“None of the members who were there assembled
Could think of a thing that the thing there resembled”

Flows just perfectly.

Loved it, hope this comic doesn’t suffer from the curse and actually gets finished.

The art is decent and, at a blush, looks like Seuss (but the human characters are decidedly non-Seussian). But the rhymes just don’t flow and that killed it for me.

I’m going to try giving this a deserved bump, as it would be wholly inappropriate for Cthulhu to sink without a trace.

tanstaafl · November 2, 2011, 12:39pm

But… isn’t Cthulhu doomed to remain sunken without a trace until the stars are right?

Alka_Seltzer · November 2, 2011, 1:08pm

Whoosh.

On a related note, Tales of the Plush Cthulhu.

I thought some lines were inspired, especially the one Half Man Half Wit quoted, but other didn’t quite scan.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death may die.

Unauthorized_Cinnamon · November 2, 2011, 11:47pm

There once was a poet named Seuss
Whose word choice was often abstruse.
This Faustus homage,
While cool, quel dommage,
Shows his adherence to proper scansion is a little bit loose.

Pages 26-27

Almost finished!

Cornelius_Tuggerson · February 9, 2012, 2:29pm

The newer ones are even better! The author definitely hit a stride with his rhyming.

CalMeacham · February 14, 2012, 1:58pm

He’s fiished it up:

pp. 70-71

pp. 72-73

pp. 74-75

…and started a new one, H.P. Lovecraft’s The Tomb

Cover:

pp. 00-01
