Sorry I'm late, this whole week was... distracting. Interesting times, huh?
Well, if you're feeling down over certain current events, there are things you can do to lift yours spirits. Read the comic, spend time with friends, watch a favorite comedian, maybe sign a petition or two! This one is a last-ditch effort to make Clinton president, and this one is a last-ditch effort just to make SOMEONE else president. I doubt very much that either one will succeed, but, y'know, I find that making a gesture can increase your sense of well being.
Conversely, if you backed the winning side then enjoy the moment and remember to be gracious to your fellow Americans. A lot of them are down in the dumps.
And you can do ME a favor by hopefully not discussing it in the comments section. Discuss it in some other comments section, they're all over the Internet. I've had enough of this election for a lifetime, and comics are meant to be an escape from this kind of stuff! Besides, there's plenty to talk about in today's page. Look at how many of the characters are going barefoot! Sam, Tomie, and now Jack! Will the vampire's shoes pop off? Then they'd all be barefoot! Start of a trend? Who knows!? Discuss!
You know, I reckon if that vampire wriggled out of his shoes he could probably get away.
Doubtful, considering he's held pretty high at the ankles, meaning shoes don't really enter into it unless he's got big, loose boots (which doesn't seem to be the case).
Fucking hell yeah SAM. Easily my favorite character.
I can't help but wonder, since Sam is from another world, if his religious symbols have slightly different powers than the ones we're familiar with. Or maybe different strengths. For example, do the gloves do more or less damage than a crucifix?
Heh... Based on the reaction there,it's like being punched with crosses strapped on like brass knuckles or getting punched with holy water.
Oh Bloo and Mike must meet Sam's gloved fists. A little suffering before Zandra lets them have it. :D
Is it just me, or does Sam appear buffer than normal for the past few strips. I guess his girl likes her rabbits with a little meat on their bones.
Sam ain't havin' it. He's going to punch that vampire's face right off (after he "enjoys talking egomaniacal catharsis" with him, perhaps?) and then join 'em outside.
You'd think would have noticed the plaque showing it was a public building... good catch indeed, Tomie.
So it's the old "welcome mat" loophole.
Go Sam go!
Nice catch with the ol' Vampire mythos too.
"I am not locked in here with you. You are locked in here with me!"
I'd be happy to sign the 'elect someone almost anyone else'-petition.... but I'm not an American citizen. Guessing my vote would not have a lot of validity.
As for the comic: I have no sympathy for that vampire. It's always nice to see Sam go into hero-mode, like he did before with those werewolves.
...
Heh. Sam Van Helsing, anyone? ;)
Aw, man. I never thought I could feel bad for the creepy vampire. : ( I'm hoping that the gang is going to be able to get some info out of him....
And what about Wally and Crystal!? Aren't they on the vamp hit list!?
If Wally has even a moment's notice, I'd say any vampires who threaten Crystal are in for a world of hurt. Remember the rice cakes incident? ;)
Since no one else has said it yet...
RABBIT PUNCHES!!!!
I'll see myself out
Sam should've just said, "Take off your shoes," instead. There you go!
Unfortunately, this probably made enough commotion to attract the attention of other vampires.
Once activated, wouldn't Sam's holy symbols repel them?
Only the ones smart enough to use ranged weapons would still be a problem.
One of those brow raising moments where you have to listen to someone explain how they got attacked by a rabbit. Classic.
It adds to the fun when an actual vampire wails about a humanoid rabbit beating the crap out of him with holy disney gloves.
Is Sam actually glowing or is that just the old artist trick to make characters stand out more from the background by erasing it around them?
Because a holy glowing rabbitman would be pretty cool.
Hare turned Paladin.
He'll have to take off the gloves when he wants to shake hands with any friendly vampire face in the future.
I think in this case, he'd fit that monk class. That or we can now joke about how he's an alternate universe version of Saint Peter Rabbit.
To quote an old Styx song, "Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, your attention please, in this corner, wearing white, from the city of the big shoulders, the number one contender in a ten round exhibition for your entertainment, sowhen the bell sounds prepare your self for the main event!"
