Ebenezer and Snooch meet Cthulhu

Since anything to do with cats is officially on-topic in this group,
and Cthulhu is also (somewhat) on-topic, take a look at the sequence
of web cartoons starting with http://www.twolumps.net/d/20060814.html.

Actually, I meant to post this message to rec.arts.sf.composition.
Well, at least the cats are on-topic.

Cats are definitely on topic, but I was wondering why Cthulhu would
also be on topic. But then, I was also wondering who would win if
Cthulhu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster got into a fight.

Funny you should mention this... I just learned about the FSM last
night. Apparently it's a big net phenomenon, but I don't seem to travel
in the right circles, as I had never heard of it before now.

I've been wondering this for years: how does one pronounce Cthulhu??
Phonetic spelling, please. For some reason, my brain has switched some
letters, so I always hear it in my head as "clue-thu".

I love E & S! Ebenezer is my favorite cartoon cat.

I've assumed it was "k-too-loo".

I believe (and DH is an HP Lovecraft fan) it's pronounced

Kuh thoo loo (Kuh rhymes with Duhm thoo and loo thymes with two)

Thanks, both of you!

Next question: Who/what *is* Cthulhu??

Cthuhlu is, appropriately enough, an extremely nasty chthonic deity
(chthonic = of or relating to the underworld) invented by H. P.
Lovecraft (1890- ), a hugely popular fantasy/horror writer.

Whoops, I accidentally mouseclicked before I could fill in the death
date. Lovecraft's lifespan was 1890-1937.
