A month of Lovecraft is Missing filler…

…which promises to be above the usual webcomic filler: various cultural artifacts as part of “an informal survey of serial storytelling” and lots of guest blogs from other people doing Lovecraft-themed webcomics. Sounds like fun.

I’d also like to note again that Tour de Lovecraft really is an immensely accessible survey/refresher of Lovecraft’s work.

I think that they were space aliens, Officer.

Or maybe Bigfoot.

Mothman?

I would so totally do this job.

Not the guy with the hat’s. The other guy’s.

Of course, I’d probably need to exercise more. Breaking the fourth wall requires a certain amount of applied force.

Order of the Stick #639.

Yipe.

PS: This is why you don’t make deals with shadowy, evil-aligned figures in robes. Particularly when they tell you over and over again that the power that they give you is totally and unambiguously under your control.

PPS: You really should own this series.

“SyFy.” Ye gods.

Tycho of Penny Arcade speaks for me in this matter.

Gabe, on the other hand… well, that sort of thing has happened to all of us, really.

This happened to me three weeks ago.

And I’ll be thirty-nine in ten days.

So, yeah, right on the money, here.

Well, the prequel trilogy, at least.

Considerably messier, but then the prequel trilogy could have stood some extra messiness. Heck, this would have been an improvement.

See, this is why I read Order of the Stick.

It isn’t because of the D&D jokes, although those are fun. It’s because it’s clever.

And because Rich Burlew actually takes moral questions seriously.

PS: I’d also like to note for the record that this is exceptionally self-referential:

…but it sounds really cool.

Heh. Blade Runner reference in Freefall.

Comic here: main comic here. Blade Runner is one of those movies that would be one of my favorites, if it weren’t for the fact that I’m not exactly sure which one of the seven versions is my favorite; or whether the version that is my favorite actually exists. It’s entirely possible that I’m picking and choosing to create an idealized gestalt Blade Runner in my head.

Which, by the way, is a notion that Philip K. Dick would have loved.

Sheldon brings teh Webcomics Funny.

As Eric Burns might say.

Anyway, it was the zeppelins that ensured the link. I’m a sucker for zeppelin war fleets. Thanks, Neil!

PS: The cover of Fitzpatrick’s War is kind of evocative of this, but less than I remember. It’s an… odd book. A bit of a caricature, and more than a bit offensive to those it’s caricaturing, but well-written for all that.
