Watchmen III 25
Bench #1742. The ever-popular Cthulhu was used in the
1/14/2000 Penny Arcade strip with his magazine of crossword puzzles and has now achieved immortality in many Bench strips, including several popular ones of mine
(909 new haircut,
911 Call of Cthulhu,
1184 Yoga-Sothoth)... here he fills in for the kid in Watchmen who reads the news vendor's Black Freighter comics. Tales of the Black Freighter is the pirate story within the story of Watchmen. The body-building ad on the back cover refers to Adrian Veidt, retired hero Ozymandias who's now a successful millionaire businessman.
