Happy Halloween

Marc Comtois

They say good humor always includes a bit of truth....

Hey, it's a convergence of Halloween, Election Season and the creation of Rhode Island's own H.P. Lovecraft all wrapped up into one--how could I resist (h/t Michael Drout)!?

Marc-Cthulu has its "hands" in too many pies-how about Nyarlathotep,the"crawling chaos"?

Cripes, Joe. You may be onto something:

Nyarlathotep:

Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars...Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms, most of these reputed to be quite horrific and sanity-blasting....Nyarlathotep uses human languages and can be mistaken for a human being. Finally...Nyarlathotep seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses propaganda to achieve his goals. In this regard, he is probably the most human-like among them.
Tweak.
