Sketch of the awakened Cthulhu emerging from his tomb in R’Lyeh, having just grabbed three men (Donovan, Guerrera, and Ångstrom), causing three other silhouetted men (Parker, Briden, and Johansen) to retreat. The perspective is all warped and unclear, with spheres that look convex from one end looking concave from another. As H. P. Lovecraft describes it, the geometry is “abnormal, non-Euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours” with “broad impressions of vast angles and stone surfaces—surfaces too great to belong to any thing right or proper for this earth, and impious with horrible images and hieroglyphs.”
Today is the day where the surviving crew of the Alert landed at an island in the Pacific Ocean. Only Gustaf Johansen survived when he was found.
