Ghastly's Ghastly Comic is a webcomic by Chris Cracknell, A.K.A. "Ghastly" or "Uncle Ghastly", dealing with anime fetish and paraphilias. One of the most notable themes is tentacle rape, as the subtitle of the comic is "Tentacle Monsters and the Women Who Love Them".
In July, 2006, the author suddenly announced that the comic was indefinitely suspended, later clarifying that this was due to a serious illness. The comic is currently on an artist-imposed hiatus.

[edit] Synopsis
The plot begins with two tentacle monsters (their origins are not specified), Glemph and Nort, who hang around in a Canadian bar, "The Spanked Monkey". As it progresses they meet several people who have trouble fitting into normal society because of their deviant behaviour or sexual preferences, for example Freddy who is a transgender version of James from Pokémon and Sue who is trapped in a chibi form. The comic features a variety of cultural phenomena: Chick Tracts, Cthulhu and of course, tentacle rape.
[edit] Career
Chris Cracknell (born September 13, 1965) is a musician and webcartoonist, best known for this comic. He is also the leader of the band Science Ninja Big Ten, AKA Big Fake Heart Attack. Since 2009, he has been pursuing a career as a stage actor.[1] He has since appeared in seven plays, The Suicide, Tafford Tanzi, Fair Liberty's Call, Vieux Carre, Escape, Time and Conways, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.[2] He is a resident of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
[edit] Google Seppuku
Google Seppuku is a game and internet meme that first made its appearance on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic. The game consists of going onto the Google search engine, and using a special language tool to type random Japanese characters into the image search box, and searching. The number of points you get is dependent on how many different images you view before you see an image so disturbing, you wish you never played the game. The name of the game comes from the Japanese word seppuku describing the act of disemboweling oneself as part of ritual suicide.
