Mythos related Webcomics

First, and I think foremost, is The Call of Whatever (http://tcow.keenspace.com). This comic is absolutely hilarious. It's a complete parody and a must read for anyone who enjoys funny Lovecraftian works. While the art is sometimes sketchy, the story itself is the best comedic Lovecraftian work I've ever read. The Call of Whatever follows the adventures of four humans and two "Spawn of Cthulu" and their Occult Help-line business. It updates every Tuesday and Thursday.

Hello Cthulu (http://www.underwhelmed.org) takes beings from the Mythos and tosses them into the Hello Kitty world. It's full color but hasn't updated in some time (unfortunately). While the idea might sound more than a little goofy, it's actually pretty funny. I wish it would update more often. When it updates, it's usually on a Monday.

Now Ghastly Ghastly's Comic (http://ghastly.keenspace.com) is defintely Mythos oriented, but the comic is usually sexual in orientation with blatant nudity and sexual acts and ahem, some tentacle sex. It does have it's funny moments, but it's also pretty perverted in most respects and may prove to be more offensive than amusing to a lot of viewers. It's usually in full color and updates on Sundays. Of course there are a few others like Cute Abominations (http://www.cyantian.net/ca) which hasn't updated since September '02. It's B&W with some touches of color. UserFriendly (http://ars.userfriendly.org) and Mythocorps (http://mythocorp.keenspace.com) only occassionally makes use of Cthuloid characters. They're color comics as well. To my knowledge UserFriendly has never missed an update, though Mythocorps does. Elf Only Inn (http://elfonlyinn.keenspace.com) has a Cthuloid character called the Eternal Sweeper, but their antics are based on chatroom shinanagins and may not tickle everyone's fancy. Under Power (http://underpower.non-essential.com) also used some Mythos-inspired entities in its beginning, but unfortunately the site seems to have been suspended by its host. It may resurface again at some later date. Tales of the Cthulu Plushy (http://www.logicalcreativity.com/jon/plush/01.html) was a one shot done with photos. And finally I have to mention MacHall (http://www.machall.com) did an adorable/demented ministrip in March that had some of the best art I've seen (follow this link http://www.machall.com/index.php?strip_id=184 and continue to the next comic). Both had me near choking with laughter. For paper comics, try this site - http://members.aol.com/hplcomics/comics.html. PS.
