Via Daypop: Tales of the Plush Cthulhu (August 2002)
Once upon a time, in a part of the house where grownups rarely visited, there was the Land of the Stuffed Animals.
It was a happy place where all the animals got along (as their hearts were as plush as the rest of them).

Via ESR: R'lyeh found! (December 2001)
A team of explorers working off the western coast of Cuba say they have discovered what they think are the ruins of a submerged city built thousands of years ago. […]
The images the robot brought back confirmed the presence of huge, smooth blocks with the appearance of cut granite.
Some of the blocks were built in pyramid shapes, others were circular, researchers said.
They believe these formations could have been built more than 6,000 years ago, a date which precedes the great pyramids of Egypt by 1,500 years.
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu f'htagn!
Via Puck: Cthulhu, Where Are You? (The Scooby-Doo Expansion Set) (August 2001)
Honestly, admit it… you've considered it before. What would it be like to mix the Scooby-Doo 'Mythos' and the 'Cthulhu Mythos'? Well, so did we. And seeing as how we're rabid MYTHOS CCG players and obsessed with our favorite cult cartoon Scooby Doo, we figured what the hell, why not just create the ultimate MYTHOS expansion set. And thus, this beast was born.

7 Stories Tall also offers Cthulhu poetry… set to music. Be afraid.
"Who is this Cthulhu? Cthulhu (pronounced k-THOO-lu, k-TOO-lu, or 'THOO-lu) is a being of awesome, awful, unknowable power. Obscure legends have it that he is one of the Great Old Ones, that his mere presence means destruction. Cthulhu was created (or recognized and described, depending on how much of a nut you want to be) by the science fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft in the 1920's. Lovecraft's writings have been widely read for their horror, and for his depictions of "the secrets man was not meant to know," which have influenced subsequent generations of writers. Blah blah blah… Necronomicon blah blah blah blah."
