Some days work is unexpectedly geeky

An edited-down email exchange. We are discussing a book cover from another company, which features a very strange sculpture. It's kind of tentacular and crushed, the sort of thing that might appear in a Tim Burton movie, but even more alarming. Also, bright red.

(Professional propriety forbids me linking to the image, alas.)

Editor: Is it just me

Haha, I was skimming LJ, and at first I misread this as "kind of testicular and crushed."

That's a pretty good description of what this thing looks like it could do...

There are some very cute Hello Cthulu t-shirts out there.

I expect you, of all people, to remember the Season 4 Halloween episode of Buffy, with the teeny tiny fear demon. :-)

[barbarienne]

I totally forgot about that, actually, because it's not one of my preferred episodes.

[swimtech]

Oh, I don't think it's one of anybody's preferred episodes, unless they really needed to see Anya in a bunny outfit. :-)

"adorably ugly little baby Cthulhus" sounds like a good name for a rock band... Would love to read a short story about a pair of such entities. I imagine they would have a huge attitude, but would actually be really rather ridiculous like the pug in Men in Black...
