Now, fly along Count Dracula, will you please, and go after the Sackler family who now is declaring bankruptcy for Purdue Pharma, the maker of Oxytocin opioid painkiller that has killed so many Americans along with the pain, after siphoning billions off to off-shore tax havens. I am sure they are juicier than most and you do not need to worry, for since they are of a different kind of blood-suckers, it does not count as cannibalism.
hey, an original four-panel funny comic? wow, didn't know it did that

“A lot of my inspiration comes from classic children’s book illustrations like the work of Edward Gorey and Quentin Blake,” 25-year-old Julia from California talked to Bored Panda about what motivates and inspires her to draw webcomics. “Artists who are able to balance childlike sweetness with human oddity are my favorite, so in my own work I enjoy combining colorful watercolor with my own sarcastic and somewhat dark sense of humor.”

That little *plink* from the ghost is so cute!! LOL... how shall a dark lord use his minions??? To thwart rigged Carnie games... NATURALLY!
“I used to draw little funny comics and have doodle wars with friends but I didn’t really consider art seriously until I was approached by one of my high school teachers who encouraged me to look into art school,” Julia revealed her winding path towards artistic mastery.
oh oh, look (laughs, lol) She meant the rhetoric meaning to it Mr. Vampire. Lol this comic is amazing!
I really appreciate how well this conveys what works about their relationship: Neculai is jaded and miserable, but Peg brings joy and light back into his life <3
This is deep. It really shows that immortality is both a blessing and a curse.
“In my experience, it’s important for an artist to make work that speaks to them rather than trying to fit into a specific artistic box,” she gave advice to other artists. “When we’re starting out and still trying to find our artistic voices, it’s tempting to think: “How would a more successful artist approach this?” But I’ve always found that I make my best work when I consider: “How would I approach this?”
Fun Fact: there is actually a film called "Love at First Bite." It was a vampire parody.

“In terms of making comics, the things I usually think will be popular are the ones that flop. When I made Vampire Boyfriend, it was a short series meant to make me and my buddy laugh, but I got such an overwhelmingly positive response from people that I’ve just kept making them and it’s turned into much more than I ever imagined.”
I feel like that in the second square, it’s the classic villain scene of “well, well, well...what do we have here?”
that will take you about 1,000 years more to build, trust me, it hurts putting that all together.
The high-energy artist exclaimed that she’s always working on various projects and is incredibly busy. “I make weekly comics like Vampire Boyfriend, but I’m also painting, embroidering, and writing. I’d eventually like to work in children’s literature, as that’s where my love of drawing began.”
“In my spare time I love swing dancing, podcasts, and collecting teeny tiny odd knick-knacks,” she added.
hes a vampire with a dark and cold soul, nothing with make him warm on the inside ):

Wow... okay... if instead of a nostalgic photograph we could get masterpiece canvas oil paintings (in which the artist ALWAYS makes the people look better than real life anyhow) - Oil painting please!!!
1884 is not a thousand year from now. Nic should be from around 1st or 2nd century CE.
These were actually quite original and refreshing! I love how Peg is a bit bigger than your average girlfriend.
What the.......? Panda said amusing instead of hilarious? Is this a breakthrough or just a glitch?
