I saw that, and I like it, especially Snoopythulhu... but the Seuss pastiche is epic.

True, but I'd still like to see a book that cthulhu-izes a lot of comics, giving them all their own page or two. Like what if Lovecraft worked the cubical next to Dilbert? Or Cathy was a cultist? Or Garfield hated Mordiggian more than mondays? Calvin and Hastur? And for non-euclidian geometry, Little Nemo? So much fun to be had ;-)

Just... wow! This was very well done!

Of course this may say something weird about me that I think this works frighteningly well Seussified - emphasis on the "frighteningly". :)

My favorite mash-up belongs to Charlie Stross, who combines British government bureaucracy, James Bond, and Cthulu in his Laundry Series.
