Why is my print edition pictures all different? They don't seem to have the 'edge' of these amazing works of art. What gives? Did Chaosium force censorship? Please a curious mind must know the truth!!! BTW keep up the AMAZING work!! Lifetime fan right here.

Hey thanks for your support!

By the time it went to print several years of practice had passed, and I essentially re-did everything for publication. My eyes and ears could only ever see and hear the things I wanted to improve in these "original" versions (which were already revised versions of the first versions - I heard you like versions, so I made a version of the version, or something like that). IMHO, the print version is the definitive one, and Chaosium were extremely supportive of the whole process.

Thank you for the fast and kind response. I thought maybe I got some kind of knock off version because of the art difference and verbiage being somewhat half of what I find on this site. My kids already love it as do I.

Laughing hard here! I love the faded cover effect. What did you make this in?

DrFaustusAU Featured By Owner Dec 15, 2017 Traditional Artist

Photoshop. Glad you enjoyed it!

This is begging for an appropriately written book to revisit the story in verse.

*Notes it's been done and soon to be published*

I just got my ten year old son interested in Cthulhu. He would probably go insane, if I got him this book... Not just because Cthulhu drives people mad, but because this is so awesome.

Great work.

OMG my two fav authors in one glorious crossover i luv it

Tbaird Featured By Owner Jan 30, 2016

Great work! At this point, I'm sure the first edition will sell out fast. You have tons of fans.

DrFaustusAU Featured By Owner Feb 15, 2016 Traditional Artist

Thanks so much!

Hey! I just saw this and I have to say, I'm a really big fan. I love how well you're able to emulate Seuss' style - also, congrats on getting published (I think?)! I'd buy a copy of this in a heartbeat, but yeah, congratulations. And amazing work.

DrFaustusAU Featured By Owner Dec 28, 2015 Traditional Artist

Thanks for the support. Not certain on the status of the proposed hardcopy version.

JustJohn11 Featured By Owner Dec 27, 2015

I wanna see what rhymes with Cthulhu

Neo128 Featured By Owner Oct 31, 2015 General Artist

Ha ha... This is hysterical... Somewhere, Dr. Seuss is smiling.

DrFaustusAU Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2015 Traditional Artist

I hope so.

I'm trying to get clarification on this issue.

I am as ecstatic as a kid on Christmas to hear that this is getting published! I keep coming back to read the pages here because of how clever and imaginative they are.

kelseykat5 Featured By Owner Apr 4, 2015

Do we have any updates on a published version?

DrFaustusAU Featured By Owner Apr 5, 2015 Traditional Artist

Later this year is all the information I have at the moment.

RileyEvan Featured By Owner Mar 3, 2015

I must have this! I have a friend with a small publishing company and will surely let him know of this. If you already have something in the works, I'd love to know where and when I could get a copy. Or three.
