Those figures in the upper right corner resemble the Ghostly Trio, which means he’s Casper, and this is how he turns out after embracing a life of absinthe, unnameable horror, and general Cthulhu badassness. Not so cute and cuddly anymore, eh Casper?

My only fear is laughing to death.

Good news, Tor Johnson’s back!

I think The Miskatonic University Sorority Shower Fear would sell more copies.

He seems dubious about the “other stories”. One can only imagine the horror of the filler they put in there.

@Mr Wizard
If your are going to do shots with an entity likely to drive you mad, might as well double down and make it absinthe.

That Garfield the Cat — he so hates Mondays! Let’s see what laughs he has for us today.

I’m not sure what “Lurkinq” is. I never associated Lovecraft with kinqiness.

I agree with Mr. Wizard: it does appear that the Wolfman is waking up from one hell of a drinking binge.

(Explanation – the writer/artist for “Breaking Cat News”, Georgia Dunn, is a native of Rhode Island, and apparently is a fan of Lovecraft.)

@Tor: HPL wasn’t even into reqular sexinq, I hear.
@Hammy: I <3 BCN. Always hard-hitting about the news that matters.
I think the creature on this cover could easily be taken out by three indoor-only domestic cats.
20 years ago, I think this guy was on the "Wazzzzuuuuppp" commercials.
He's not very eldritch, squamous, or scary with his lurkinq; certainly no Bokrug.

The artist actually went to the trouble to get the mismatched eye colors correct.
