Dev Art image without apparent permission and a stupendously long caption.

Behold, The Great Dark God Cthulhu, Almighty Master of R'lyeh, Destroyer of Worlds, Harbinger of Aeons of Madness and Despair, Inhabitant of the Terrifying Abyss, Herald of Unimaginable Infinite Horrors and Limitless Gibbering Cyclopean Chaos which Man was not meant to comprehend, (names continue on for one hundred and eight pages).... and a Flying Nun's bitch.

Great pic, definitely need to get permission and lose most of the caption if the former happens.

That's Cthulhu? I thought it was a bigfoot, or the Beast from the Disney movie.

The artist is the guy who draws Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, for ease of contacting et al.

[up]The dA image description is Cthulhu vs a flying nun.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

^^ I don't see it.

No hair, btw. Coloration is throwing you off?

[up][up] Coelasquid is very much aware of TV Tropes, so I don't think she'll have a problem with us using it if we ask.

I think the caption used to be less unwieldy. The current is a terrible change.

I hope this stays, it's awesome. The only way it could be better is if it showed Cthulhu KO'd.

   Evil is my favorite color.

As a temporary measure until such time as we have express permission, I suggest an image from God Of War. Death of Ares should do, or Zeus if it wouldn't be too graphic.

Aw, guys, I was linking to this page enthusiastically because I thought it was awesome with the picture in it. A great disappointment to see it gone.

Also, did someone ask for permission to whoever drew the image in Darth Vader Clone ?, Did you ask for permission from George Lukas to use the Star Wars logo in the Star Wars page? Or permission from NBC to use the image from Scrubs's cast for the Scrubs page? No?

What makes this case different? Or are we going to start going into a removing pictures rampage?

PS - And I love that image caption, it, by itself, captures the essense of what punching out Cthulhu is about.

[up][up] This is an entire work. You can't use an entire work without permission. Using a single comic panel or a scene from a movie to illustrate a trope is Fair Use. Look up About Images And Copyright. Also, a caption shouldn't be as long as your image.

[up] Thanks, Rodney.

Sweet.

EDIT: Well, I was gonna put the pic back on the page and note permission, but it's checked out and I need to leave for work.
