Strip by: Ilmo

Caption: Meanwhile, deep in Louisiana...
{on an island, Ambrose and Delkin, dressed in black hoods, have gathered to worship a shrine of a hideous Elder God. Delkin is trying to light a bonfire while Ambrose is speaking on his phone.}
Ambrose: Yes, sir, I know, but we're having trouble lighting the bonfires...
Caption: The Call of Cthulhu

The author writes:

I decided to shoot this one myself. I apologise for the blurry image — my camera's pretty bad. (Thought it kinda suits the strip.)

I personally think that's a pretty cool set. I just forgot the island was supposed to be treeless... (Maybe they planted some? No one says worshipping an eldritch deity wanting to destroy the world as we know it means you don't want to be ecological!) Unfortunately, because of his Hood, Ambrose seems to be simply holding his phone, not speaking into it. Maybe it's on speaker?

Oh, and the 98 other (naked) guys are missing from the picture because the bus is late.
