Ghastly's Ghastly Comic was an adult webcomic that ran from 2001 to 2006. Inspired by a Not Safe for Work Sexy Losers strip, the series is about tentacle monsters living in our world, and the people they interact with. These people include a chibi, a girly guy who speaks broken-Japanese, an Attention Whore Cosplay Otaku Girl, a Flaky New Age Neo-Pagan, Baby Cthulhu, a Cloudcuckoolander who looks perpetually stoned, a furry, a guy transplanted from a Hentai game who has an invisible penis, a guy transplanted from a 1970s Blaxploitation flick, and Drunk and Bitter Jesus.
The series can be found here. This Web Comic is Not Safe for Work, and be careful about the examples.
