Straight Shooter

Cue the wacky theme-music as the curtain falls on this storyline...

Desperate Times

The brick wall conversation is an homage to Peanuts, and the conversation is something that I could easily see 

Charlie Brown and Linus having (possibly about the Little Red Haired Girl) once they grew up

It Speaks to Me

I think we've established how "odd" Sluggy is, and he's stone-cold sober right now!

Peanut Gallery

Sluggy doesn't take losing very well.

Stunner

Who saw that coming?  

No one that works at Shrimpy's, that's for sure.

Award Ceremony

Mmmmmm....dolphin-y goodness!

Do You See the Resemblance?

Does it surprise you that Cthulu and Alan Moore are friends?

Nope...me neither.

It's You

We all have one of those friends.  

Cthulu is one of those friends.

He Has a Point

Cthulu is pretty bad ass.

Touched a Nerve

Don't get Cthulu started!

Sage Advice

Even Cthulu hates Kanye.  

And you know it's the truth because it's on the internet.

The Call of Cthulu

I'm 90% certain that Cthulu was inserted into Eat @ Shrimpy's for the sole purpose of allowing me to do this strip.

The Most Interesting Lovecraftian Myth in the World

Of course he does.

Preach It, Cthulu

Cthulu is the best.

Cthulu

If Cthulu is going to be compared to anyone, 

Norm from Cheers would be the first to come to my mind.

Hang in There

Okay, here's the story on the tapestry (and basically, this storyline in general):

Years ago, I was watching The Tudors (the show about Henry VIII and all his wackiness).  While I was not too impressed by the show itself, one image stuck out in my mind.  It was the mass execution by hanging of an entire village of people.  Of course, given my sick mind, the only thing I could  think at the time was about that damn cat poster where it says "hang in there".  I thought, if anyone was going to create anything inspirational out of that senseless tragedy, it would be Henry VIII.  And I basically crafted this storyline to find a way to introduce Sluggy's tapestry.

Misappropriation of Funds

Ah, the company credit card!  Of course!

Tapestry

When Sluggy is the one inspiring you, you are right to be skeptical.

Incentive

Practice makes perfect Wormy, you keep doing what you do best.

Focus Shifted

Part of being a good boss is being able to notice an issue and fix it.  

Shrimpy is trying to be a good boss...but of course things never go as planned.
