Thursday night, I had a dream about being hired to draw a comic book called "Surf'thulhu." Yes, you got that right, Surfin' Cthulhu, the Elder God of Santa Cruz. Hence the title of this screed...

Surfers who make the right sacrifices get the best waves. And those who don't...Surf'thulhu rises up out of the waves and sucks their brains out. Which is how it should be. Since a lot of the dream involved discussions of what exactly Surf'thulhu should look like and what the icon of the Cult of Surf'thulhu should be, I ended up having to draw some of this stuff before I forgot it:

Iya! Iya! Surf's up dude!

Surf'thulhu
He's a Surfin' Dude
An Elder Thang.
Maybe I should've looked closer at that vial of supposedly salmon calcitonin to see what they really used for their recombinant DNA source. I mean, is it normal for the bottles say things like "Klaatu veratuu nikktu" on them? and "Cthulhu Fhtagn"? And I've never seen any other drug with listed side effects of "tentacle growth"...

I've finally had dream-inspired artwork weirder than Bob's Bad Beer:

Just Like Bad Acid, Only Funnier!

Which would either argue that all the drugs I've been on have been supressing my natural weirdness or we've finally hit the limit and the drugs are eating what's left of my brain.
