Cthulhu Slippers is an idea for a web comic that Cameron Gibbs and Andrew Jack had while working thankless customer services jobs and addled from lack of sleep. It went through multiple incarnations until it was shelved for other projects. It’s been brought back with the help of artist Natalie Metzger and with Andrew forgoing sleep for the foreseeable future.
The idea for the name comes from these Plush Cthulhu Slippers. If you click that link and do decide to adorn your feet in the likeness of Cthulhu then we get a little cut from Amazon, so you can keep your feet warm and support the comic at the same time!
Andrew has been writing for most of his life, even getting his first rejection letter from Random House at the age of four. They were very nice about it; suggesting he learn to read and write before submitting again. He runs his own writing site Andrew Jack Creative where he does his best to act as a dire warning to other writers about the dangers of World Builder’s Disease.
Andrew currently writes the scripts for Cthulhu Slippers but can’t draw, not even stick figures. He’s to blame for the website.
Natalie Metzger is a Pacific Northwest-based illustrator and designer. She’s the creator of the webcomics Tidal Farce and Over-Encumbered, the illustrator of You Can Do Anything, Magic Skeleton! by Chuck Wendig, Miniatures and A Very Scalzi Christmas by John Scalzi, and has provided illustration and design for several tabletop games. Her illustration work focuses on the weird and fantastic fueled by a love of storytelling, humor, and the bizarre natural world. When not creating curious creatures, she can be found in the garden herding slug hordes or admiring the skulls of prehistoric beasts.
You can find more of her work at The Fuzzy Slug.
As co-creator of Cthulhu Slippers, Cam was heavily involved in the early scripts. He also fulfils the dual role of being Andrew’s best friend and worst enemy. He spends his time hurling abuse at Andrew from afar and skiving off to find ice cream at any given opportunity.
