Real voodoo is done by black women with a creole accent and a bottle of whiskey.

Most of them came for the Jamaica rum and stayed for dummy decapitation.

I always arrive at the party after the dummy decapitation.

Obviously they were unaware that Hitler had the Spear of Destiny in his possession, thus rendering him immune to most forms of magical attack.

Also Superman.

Hitler did not have the Spear of Destiny, what he had was an ancient Thule vampire. The reason we never found Hitler's body is the allies had to stake it, decapitate it, put garlic in the mouth, pour holy water on it and finally burn it alive.

How can you be so wrong about such an important moment in American history!?!

We all know that the Germans bombed Washington after crossing the Delaware. That's the whole reason Teddy Roosevelt and Winston Truman stormed the beach at Nagasaki to end the war.

They can't take all the credit. The arcade industry trained many potential young spies on how to deal with Hitler...

Arkham is in Massachusetts, hundreds of miles away, although I suppose that if these guys know the proper non-Euclidean geometry it should be possible to travel to Maryland easily enough. Such a step would require only two stages; first, a passage out of the three-dimensional sphere we know, and second, a passage back to the three-dimensional sphere at another point, perhaps one of infinite remoteness.

That's in Massachusetts. The closest we have in rural maryland is Frostburg State. The ceremony would be held at Dunks, and the alcohol would have been Bud. There would also be snow.

I used to own a copy of The Outsider and Others. I was unemployed for a while and had to sell it to make rent. It still stings.

Citrate1007: Those hippies should have enlisted.

Yes. January, 1941? That amounted to premature anti-fascism. Hopefully they'd screened out the Lincoln Brigade veterans and anybody with a last name ending in -berg, -stein, or -witz.

Gee, I guessed wrong.

I thought it must be FDR, history's greatest monster until Jimmy Carter.

Oh, well. There were plenty of other cabins in the Boondocks in 1941. Somebody must have hexed Roosevelt.

Yeah, I found it interesting that it's a bunch of straight-life white folks performing the ritual. But then again...

The chick on the right looks like she's enjoying this a little too much.

FTA: "Seabrook -- who struggled with alcoholism and at one point was committed, by his own request, to a mental hospital outside of New York City -- committed suicide in September, 1945. "

Those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad. Pray you are destroyed...
