  I actually bought this shirt from Tee Fury when it was on sale. One of my favorites.

  • [Fred Legault]

     Yes me too, best 10$ purchase ever!

• [Just_Ok]

  Oh good, grief.

• [iamlegion]

  It’s the Great Old Ones, Charlie Brown!

  I never liked this mashup. Lovecraft was a racist pig, even by the standards of his contemporaries. Schulz was subversively diverse and politically progressive. We need more of the latter in popular culture, less of the former.

  • [Guest]

    Lovecraft was a racist and an anti-semite. Hergés early works are quite racist, and he probably was a Nazi sympathizer. H.G. Wells was a promoter of eugenics. Dalí was a fascist. Brecht wrote poems praising Stalin. Goethe took part in the war against the French Revolution. Wagner was an anti-semite and Hitler’s personal idol Etcetera. Sweeping these artists’ political biographies and personal failures under the rug would be stupid. However, claiming that these personal failures kind of automatically invalidates their art is pretty stupid, too.

     He was also married to a Jewish woman for a few years and had many immigrant letter friends. A man full of paradoxes. Still one of my favorite authors.

     Lovecraft was a racist pig, even by the standards of his contemporaries.

    I’d disagree.

  I keep expecting Disney to buy the rights to the Cthulhu mythos too, then we can have an animated Cthulhu musical…

  I’ve already got the first number:

  Under the Sea (Cthulhu Lies Dreaming)

  Cthulhu lies always dreaming…
  Deep below the ocean tide,
  There will be lots of screaming,
  When he wakes and opens wide..
  Just look at the world around you
  It is a fantastic sight
  But Old Ones will soon surround you
  As soon as the stars are right!

  Under the sea, under the sea
  There’ll be surprises, when R’lyeh rises,
  Take it from me
  Oh once the veil is torn away,
  It’ll be mankind’s last day
  Those who are not dead, are out of their head
  Under the sea, ha ha…

  Now your bulb is not the dullest,
  And maybe you’ll start to feel,
  Cthulhu’s got lots of cultists,
  You might want to make a deal.
  Deep Ones can’t wait to revive him,
  But their plans have a kinky hook
  If your offspring is to survive then,
  They’d best have the Innsmouth look!

  Under The Sea!
  Under The Sea!
  Tentacles writhing,
  if you went diving,
  then you could see!
  If you’d check out his swanky pad,
  Under the sea you might go mad,
  R’yleh seems mangled,
  impossibly angled
  Under the sea
  Under the sea..
  If you could wake him,
  That might just make him,
  Very grumpy!
  But still the day will soon arrive,
  And you might wish you weren’t alive,
  Prepare for your doom guys,
  Remember his tomb lies,
  Under the sea…

  (Instead of the ‘listing out the crustacean band’ part, here we
  simply have cultists chanting in an awful language)

  Under the sea
  Under the sea
  You may be far gone,
  Food for the star spawn,
  Eventually,
  What do you think, you’re really neat?
  To all of them you’re just more meat.
  Even a Deep One,
  If you won’t (bleep) one,
  Under the sea
  Father Dagon here
  needs a bon-bon here,
  Under the sea
  Setting your place here,
  No need to say grace here
  Don’t be a dummy,
  Live meat tastes yummy,
  You’re outta luck here
  Down in the muck here
  Under the sea!

    This is a mashup I would want to see happen.

  • [jimh]

    I see a cruise ship tie-in waiting to happen after the film release.

  I’m proud to say that I’ve played Call of Cthulhu and other HPL-related games with Anna Maria.  She knows her Lovecraft, you bet.
