This is, of course, belated, but still appropriate. ToM acolyte Evil Jim has never quite understood the Easter Holiday. Why do we mark the crucifixion, death and resurrection of a fluorescent pink anthropomorphical rabbit by colorfully painting simulacrums of his egg-shaped, chocolate-flavored excrement? A Lovecraftian subversive, Jim decided to challenge the religious status quo of the holiday by painting the world's very first Cthulhu Easter Egg.

Jim writes:

I enjoy TOM tremendously & I especially appreciate your devotionto our favourite Great Old One, Cthulhu. I too am a lover of all thingsLovecraftian & find your frequent posts a daily delight. As a sort ofthank you I am sending a photo of an egg I coloured this past Easterweekend. I hope you enjoy it.

I do! I especially like the strange pattern behind the egg... perhaps symbolic of the infinite cosmos beyond space and time from which Mighty Cthulhu was born?

Just a reminder: we always post about Cthulhu on Thursdays. If you've got something Cthulhu-esque, drop us a line.
