History Webcomic / CthulhuSlippers

** The Hex Box, aside from being an obvious TakeThat at the UsefulNotes/XboxOne, could also be a veiled Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} reference, as a similarly named console (this one based more on the UsefulNotes/Xbox360) can be seen getting cut in half in Issue #8.

-->-- ''[[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/the-beginning-of-the-end/ Cthulhu Slippers: The beginning of the end]]''

''[[http://www.cthulhuslippers.com/ Cthulhu Slippers]]'' is an [[WorkCom office comedy]] webcomic set after the return of Creator/HPLovecraft's Great Old Ones. Written by Andrew Jack and drawn by Natalie Metzger it chronicles the misadventures of Mal, Sim and Zoe, three humans stuck working for [[MegaCorp Cthulhu Corp]] after the end of the world.

* AmnesiacDissonance: After Zoe resets reality to deal with a squid problem, [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/a-little-problem/ Cthulhu briefly reverts to his pre-Cthulhu Corp ways]].

** Averted in [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/summon-cthulhu/ this comic]] as it turns out you can summon Cthulhu with beer and chips.

* CuteIsEvil: The failed Cthulhu Corp product 'My First Necronomicon' is both adorable and in many ways far worse than the real Necronomicon, especially if you haven't [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/my-first-necronomicon/ deleted your browser history.]]

* InhumanResources: Nyarlathotep is not what you'd hope for in a HumanResources manager. Still his depredations are better than working in the [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/even-after-the-apocalypse-working-in-a-call-centre-still-sucks/ call centre.]]

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Mal strips down a lot, and once when he's trapped in the dreamworld he goes streaking through Nyarlathotep's dreams.
* NoodleIncident: We never do learn why [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/squid-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving/ Sim is sending Mal all those squid]].

* ShoutOut: So many. To HPL himself almost constantly, not to mention a shout out to the Franchise/EvilDead series in [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/the-necronomicon/ this comic]].

** This [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/a-truly-crazy-cruise/ comic]] is a shout out to Jonathan Coulton and the JoCo Cruise Crazy.

** [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/boldly-go-captain-kirk/ This strip]] is a shout out to Star Trek combined with a TakeThat.
** Nyarlathotep calls Mal (after he runs naked through Nyarlathotep's dreams- it's a long story) the "[[NakedPeopleAreFunny King in Nothing]]", a reference to Hastur being called the "King in Yellow".

* SummonBiggerFish: How do you deal with the embodiment of internet hate? [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/the-internets-greatest-weapon/ Summon a giant cat]].
* TakeThat: The Hex Box is clearly a dig at the XBOX One.

* ToiletHumour: [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/give-it-a-minute/ this strip]] has a fairly clean example.

* XDaysSince: [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/workplace-hazards/ "It has been XX days since an employee was eaten by a nameless horror."]]
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Mal becomes Human Resources manager after he kills Nyarlathotep (It's a long story).

* StealthPun: When an internet search to fix [[spoiler: Mal's corruption]] releases a manifestation of internet hatred, Zoe invokes [[spoiler: Lord Wuzzy from Marketing, a cat-shaped AnimalisticAbomination. Instead of a cat macro, it's a ''macro cat''!]]
