FWIW: This was originally posted to the LJ community namelessdread, but was deleted when it got popular. robyn_ma wrote:

"namelessdread, c'est fini. Y'know, I did it to amuse myself and the few people on my friends list who dug the humor and added themselves to the community. I didn't want a fuckload of eyes on it, I don't need to be worrying about lawyers coming after me, and I myself was not the fucking thing's biggest fan in the first place. You take a cartoon and you stick someone else's words under it big deal. Not what I really wish to put energy into, become notorious for, or catch legal bullets for. So: gone."

As discussed in my LJ in May 2005.

Always good to hear from the world's coolest club-owner!

As for the Cthulhu comics: May 2005? I'm always late to the party.

I like it better with random cutouts from the finance section.

This is fine, also.

Family Circus is always good modifying fun.

Consider the source material. Family Circus is'nt exactly the most 'intellectual' comic you'll read. I think the creator nailed the feeling of a Family Circus cartoon about Cthulhu perfectly.

And it's gone. 404's.

Just a heads up.

Not to worry. I made copies, and the links now take you to them.

Reminds me of "The Dysfunctional Family Circus" from a few years back...

Pure genius. I love these. Please don't ever remove them, and do make more!

About This Blog

Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:

In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.

We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.

This is the continuation of that story.
