Are Vampires Dead (not as ironic a question as it sounds)
Friday, October 30th, 2009Happy Halloween everyone!
When doing some thinking about how to write this joke (and it was hard…. I could do a whole webcomic unto itself just making fun of Twilight day in and day out…) I figured out how sad it was to me that Angel and Twilight had so much in common. A Vampire tortured by his feelings? Dumb. A vampire with several varying love interests? Dumber. Atleast Angel would sometimes get up and kill some people. The dudes in Twilight aren’t really even vampires by definition. They don’t kill people, they live just fine in the sun, there’s really nothing vampiric about them at all…
And please note that I say all this as a staunch Whedon worshiper. The man has done very little wrong in my eyes (I’m not 100% sold on Dollhouse, but thats for another time) and I have maintained for a while now that Angel is a better series than Buffy. I don’t say that lightly, ’cause I love me some Buffy. You’ll remember these strips, based on my real life…
This is leading my brain to a train of thought… I might do one more vampire joke Monday, but then we’ll launch a new storyline and get down to what everyone loves: the bog of character development! Oh joy of joys! (It’ll be funny, trust me).
