you stupid bitch…

One less human to feed on, well done.

I do not, no. Haven’t been to that site.

Glad you like the comic.

Global mass media has been on a corporate-driven downward spiral toward blandness in the last 30 years or so. It’s getting to the point that halfassed manga starts looking like art, and folks don’t even realize the depth they’ve lost till they are hit in the face by a real PLOT and find the edge of their seats to be a heady place to inhabit. Like single malt when you’ve been taught that “booze” equals “budweiser.” That question you hear over and over is really just the sound of horizons broadening.

BTW, do you know Matt R. Jones?http://www.hollywoodvampires.net? Your fictional universes should get together and make a bastard love child universe. I need it for my school project, if you’d be willing to answer a short questionnaire on what it’s like to birth a fictional mileu of kickass action-horror out of wedlock. thanks!!

Oh, and BTW, I can spell “Schematic” but I don’t know what everyone else’s problem is.

First page went up last Christmas. Owen Gieni is the artist.

“and have you done any other comics?”

I also write “Marry Me” and “+EV” — multiple links are on this page.

How long have you been doing this for? and have you done any other comics?

sorry if any of these questions were asked before, but my friend showed this to me.

please don’t equate Ann Rice with ‘most vampire legends’. There’s literally thousands of vampire legends and not one of them completely agrees with the rest. Plenty of them allow vampires to drink older blood.

I have no life and usually see the comments first — I get e-mails alerting me about new comments. I really don’t mind it when it’s just someone asking a question, especially a new person. When the people who comment on every page somehow ask a repeated question, it’s a bit annoying, though. Also, people rarely ask questions here — they state something that they think is an error when it’s really not. None of this affects my sanity — no worries.

“I would imagine the writers and illustrators would have done research on the topic”

I actually didn’t give Owen any instruction on how Murdo’s body should look (other than the obvious puncture wounds in his neck and blood spilling out and such, which I illustrated in my sketch). It was my thinking that Val only took enough blood to kill him and that Murdo wouldn’t look too thin from it, but I’m fine with what Owen did and I think it adds something cool to the page. I did no research on the subject.

I love the insights into the comic that come up in the comments – it’s cool. The repopulation thing – y’all would be surprised at the small number of people that can repopulate the species. I – like Bobby – am surprised at how people are snagging onto that. Then again, I have read several sci-fi books dealing with apocalyptic events leading to a need to repopulate a planet/country/whatever that gets into the genetics and so forth, showing the minimum amount of people and how best to do so. I was most amused by Anne McCaffrey’s solution in her Pern books, where each woman had to have a child by at least 3 or 4 different men . . . I’m sure the men didn’t mind that so much, though . . .;-)

I was also struck, when I first saw this comic, by how thin Murdo looked when he first “woke.” I noticed he looked better after he drank the blood, so I just figured the emaciation was due to extreme blood loss, although I am not certain of the physiological reality of that or not – however, I would imagine the writers and illustrators would have done research on the topic, so I decided not to doubt them and just went with it
