 So I'm back this month after what I like to call The Great Hard Drive Crash of 2008. The day after Christmas, I started with a dead cd-rom drive and somehow blew up my hard-drive on top of it. Needless to say that my fantastic web comic review that I was just about to e-mail disappeared into the Akashic Record forever. Trust me on that one.
This month, with a new and improved hard-drive, I'm back with a little comic I discovered through the magnificent networking power of Project Wonderful -- Vlad the Vegan Vampire!
Vlad is surrounded by a colorful Cast including a punk were-panda. A mummy turned hardcore geek. And the zombie of General Custer who actually has a lot more on his mind than just eating your brain. And don't forget the Cyclops/minotaur that turns into Satan when he gets angry.
The series begins with Vlad himself, in a fit of ennui, declaring that he is to become a vegan and the consequences of such a lifestyle. From there they wander from video games to politics to
music and back to veganism again. Unfortunately, Vlad has the tendency to fall off the wagon.
The current story arc is something every guy should already know by common sense, if not instinct. You don't go to a urinal next to one that is already occupied if there's another free one away from the other dude. There were a couple of guys at the old office where I used to work that were guilty of this. You know what everyone called them behind their back? GAY! So, if you're guilty of this, knock that shit off… queer!
Anyway, lots of sarcastic, mean humor abound in Vlad the Vegan but nothing too over-the-top. I'd probably have more to say but every time I go to study the page, there is an ad that has nice boobies barely covered by headphones. So, if you're not sold on the comic yet, go for the boobies.
The site updated MWF and has an extensive archive to get you started.
Here are a couple of my early faves to get you going…
A convincing argument against…
Tickling is abuse, y'know .
