The Pranksters in Darkness
Here was another chance for me to draw expressive tentacles and protoplasm. Did you know I designed these critters in about an hour? And yet I think they came out just about perfect. Yithro, a member of the Great Race possessing an observitor species, is mostly eyes, and his 5 tentacles get to be arms, cheeks, an elephantine trunk, whatever! And there are even more options for what Shog the shoggoth can do with his body. I like the way he “fizzes” in panel 3.
I -just- noticed that the third pane is an octagon or the shape of a stop sign. Talk about subtle! 😉 (or maybe I’m clueless)
Hazing rituals take new meaning here
Awesome catch, Joel! I’m glad you caught my visual version of a record skip!
