''[[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/ The Watcher Of Yaathagggu]]'' is an HPLovecraft-inspired webcomic by Robyn Seale. From the comic's description:
"Yaathagggu (pronounced yah-THAG-goo) is a city surrounded by eldritch horrors and absolute darkness."
Pieta Gaolwynne is a perimeter watcher, tasked with guarding the city by keeping her lighthouse running and survey the ocean, which stands as the greatest threat.
But things aren’t right with her tower or with the city, and one unlikely protagonist is thrust into a plot of mystery, intrigue and madness.
