Case #2: The Men Who Stare At Goatmen: Scene 4

Case #2: The Men Who Stare At Goatmen: Scene 4

Despite its bonnet and cute wonky eye, a Baby Cthulhu is just as dangerous as a mature, fully grown Cthulhu.

A gigantic thank you to Chris Hastings, creator of Dr. McNinja, for being kind enough to let me feature his character in my comic this week. Dr. McNinja is one of my favorite comics and characters of all time. It’s a huge deal for me that I was allowed to put him in my comic. If you don’t read it already, please head over to Dr. McNinja.com and check out his amazing adventures. You can thank me later.

Leave me a comment below! I love hearing from you and it gives me an excuse to post my Thriller zombie avatar more online.

Please take a look at our newly redesigned Tara Normal store! Buy yourself a Dr. Frankenkitty shirt and feel like a cartoon character just like Tara Normal!

You can follow Tara Normal herself on Twitter!

Thank you again for your votes! Tara Normal won Best New Comic in the WCRCA’s 2009! You rock!

    i think it’s time for a dr. mcninja/tara team-up.

    also: baby chtulhus are a bit easier to deal with as they don’t have their grown-up tentacles yet.

    She seems pretty calm while facing a not so ancient evil. Will she be driven mad in little baby steps?

    Vyn- that team-up would be a dream come true.

    Don- Baby steps!! Awesome!! Tara usually keeps calm in the face of the bizarre. We’ll see more of this in the future.

    I love the Baby Cthulhu, very original, especially the bonnet. :) The part of the strip that really grabs me is the Grover Mug, very cool. As always your art work is phenomenal.

    30% is not very comforting on sending him back, looks like Tara’s hands may be full for sometime, who knows the Cthulhu may come in handy before too long.

    Love the Teen Wolf shout out as well on your topper of the internal strip. Great Stuff Howie, Great stuff.

    Thank you so much, man!! That means a lot to me. The Teen Wolf will probably make it onto the main header so I’m glad you liked it. Grover rules! I have that cup in real-life. It’s glorious.
    Having the Baby Cthulhu definitely mixes everything up in a good way. And you are right, 30% is not comforting! LOL Thank you again for reading and liking my work!!
