There is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy.

Ah, that's excellent. It reminds me -- my son's second birthday is coming up. I wasn't sure what I should get him (you know, since he's not exactly clear on things he wants besides "JEE GACKARS" and "APPO JOOSCH" because yes, he talks in all caps), but I'm pretty sure I want to get him a cuddly cthulhu plushy.

Yep, that's the one! Either that or the hand puppet one. I mean, what better way to traumatize your toddler?

But Kouryou-chan loves her cuddly Cthulhu plush! She doesn't know it's an icon of shreiking horror; it's just a green squeeze toy.

ROFL! Only if it makes the patented Cthulhu noise (also known as my ex-wife shrieking at me, but I digress...)

That reminds me of the time my youngest walked out of our bedroom with a dildo in hand that she somehow found...

Or a few months later, swinging a crop saying "Look Dada..."

That's wonderful!

Bill Keane's lawyers are famously hostile to anyone who makes fun of his stuff. A bit of a shame; the series is so ripe for it.

That's sad. I didn't look at the community deeply enough to see who the author was. Any idea? Any cached copies of the cartoons out there?

I didn't see it before it went away either. I used to really like a photocopied booklet called "Dysfunctional Family Circus" I found somewhere.
