It's all in the links: Japan has a fad for octopus-themed playgrounds. Russia has sea monster-themed sleep away summer camps. Accordion Guy has a whole series of twisted Family Circle cartoons with Cthulhu Mythos quotations that are WAY funnier than the originals, if only for the cognitive dissonance.

He's big among science bloggers, the biggest computer security guru in the world has Cephalopod Fridays, and he's a minor theme on BoingBoing, one of the top five blogs in the world. All bloggers read way too much of this stuff. I once had a boyfriend who asked me out because he heard me talking about how much I loved Lovecraft. He explained later, "I thought they were how-to books." Particularly parenting blogs to which I contribute.
