Dr. Frank's What's-it

Like Everybody throughout the Whole Internet, I am Charmed by the Pictures of Creatures and Figures from the Cthulhu Mythos Drawn by Children

I'm old enough to remember when hardly anyone outside of what seemed to be an elite group of weirdos had the faintest clue as to what the Cthulhu Mythos was, and that wasn't that long ago even in my lifetime, to say nothing of the entire span of years since the stories were written. Now the whole world sees a reference to the Great Race of Yith and smiles knowingly at one another.
