It's like, "Sure, eldritch horrors are so unnatural they'll drive you insane if you see them, but that stuff is depicted in media all the time and I'm still sane." Then you see your first actual eldritch horror.

Rumors, misinformation and lies about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene have run rampant since the storm made landfall, especially around FEMA funding.

I know I'm just a grumpy old man, but that fade-in transition for each image makes walk away. Annoying and unnecessary. But that's about the website design and not the Kirby images, which were nice while I could tolerate the unnecessary transitions. Well, off to teach my web dev class!

STATUS, BOY!

Three panels from Cerebus the Aardvark with part of a discussion between Elrod and Cerebus. 
Panel 1: Two hands, one slightly pulling a black sword from its scabbard. Elrod says, "I'm feared in battle -- I'm an outcast from my race -- my sword is BLACK!  RUNE-CARVED, that is...!" 
Panel 2: Elron and Cerebus. Cerebus says, "CEREBUS would like you to remove some of your weight from his foot!" 
Panel 3:  Elrod has removed his hat and points at it. Elrod says, "MIND YOUR MANNERS, SON! I've got a tall pointy hat! STATUS, boy! You can argue with me, but you can't argue with status!"
