It wasn’t easy fitting all that dialog into bubbles. In fact I think I trimmed a few cars off Generic Kung-Fu Superhero Sidekick’s logic train there.
Also, all of those vampire bloodline facts are completely fabricated and have never been in any D&D book ever. This comic was posted using the free Wi-Fi made available at the public library in Thousand Oaks, California.
Hilarious fluff! and yay, Thousand Oaks; you’re about 80 miles from me, right through the center of Mt. Baldy. 🙂
Thanks, Joyce. It is amazing how the hills have recovered from the fires. Everything is very green after all the rains recently. Once the temperature climbs about 10 to 15 degrees everything will be perfect.
Actually, what you’re describing is far more consistent with a Hungarian, or Transylvanian, vampire tradition.
There are reports from the Austro-Hungarian empire of vampires being defeated by the destruction of the master-vampire. Russian vampires would be assuaged, however, by the death of their children from when they were alive. Go figure.
Generic Sidekick etc would do well, if facing a French vampire- or any European vampire really- to recognise ‘widdershins’ magic, and do things backwards:
– enter graveyards backwards;
– speak in rhyming slang;
– wear a pair of underwear on the outside;
also, carry with them a bag of rice, as French, Italian and Hungarian vampires are said to be compulsive counters and can’t leave their grave until they have counted every grain.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Yeah, I didn’t do any actual research ahead of time. But what I don’t understand is why Superman keeps getting whooped by vampires when he wears his underwear outside his clothes. :o)
It’s the widdershins rule- do things backwards from how you ordinarily do them. For superman, that’s normal!
A-ha! Mr. Myxlplyx is a widdershin!
Absolutely- a great example of a modern expression of a fairly ancient idea.
