Mistigram: did someone say “unsettling psychological profundity”?

Mistigram: for this #ANSIart adaptation of #JaimeHernandez’s 1982 cover art to issue 5 of #Fantagraphics’ #LoveAndRockets, you can tell that Cthulu had no help because he only shaded the logo, naively treating the remainder as textmode pixelart.
