I'm sure that’s what’s really bothering him.
If you’ll recall, Mike was last seen overwhelmed by a torrent of magic straight from Jack’s veins. Now we see that he survived, but it left him with very messy hair.
And of course you'll recognize the guy that Betty had fun with and the guy that Tomie blinded. There are plenty of other dismembered vampires floating around in there, Zandra left no shortage of them. Although she did leave plenty of them shorter.
Now, I’d like to issue a warning at this point that, owing to a passing muscle injury (and my time-honored glacial pace), my work was hampered somewhat and I may have to take a minor break, say, around the Easter holiday. And April Fools’ Day too, as Kerinbot pointed out! So it’ll be a fine time to post the last holiday-themed placeholder this comic will ever have. And since it’s a twofer I can justify leaving it to cover the 31st and the 2nd! Yeah, that’ll be real smooth. The perfect crime. But for now that’s all in the future.
The near future. This comic doesn’t have a far future anymore.

That's not the only thing that Jack's magic torrent had affected with Mike. Figured that he got energy-fried earlier.

"Zebra Girl" is, no joke, no hyperbole, my favourite comic. I will be sad to see it go.
P.S. Does anyone know how the Subfusc turned Zandra human for a spell?

Thanks for reading, it's great to know you've enjoyed the experience! It means a lot to me that my work has meant something to you.
And, in answer to your question.... Yes! I know.

I didn't realise I would want a follow up on the limbless vampire until I saw this page. Now I have questions I fear may not be answered. Damn, is there anything that Zandra's not willing to be the source of fear?
Hats off to you Joe. At the very least three hats.

My morbid curiosity wants to see the injury now. Pics or it didn't happen?
Hey Mike, love the new look.

I'm afraid there was nothing to take a picture of, it wasn't an obvious kind of injury. More like a strain or a pulled muscle.

It's always something, right? Any time you hit your stride, and something happens.

So these kinds of vampire don't regenerate? That's an inconvenience...

Cuz it's looking like he needs to regenerate something very personal. Eventually.

So wait..he got hit by an overload of magical energy, and all it did was turn him into a frumpy chick with bad hair? Kinda thought you had more imagination than that, Joe. Then again, I suppose it's the sort of thing where surprises might revel themselves in time. If we had any.

Too bad you're ending the comic. I can see a LOT of places you could take it from here!

Mr. Casual
I'm . . . rather curious why the energy blast did _that_ to his body. Is it just "because Jack"?
Also, I see little wisps of something coming out of those vampire stumps. Is that a slow regeneration at work?

Hmm... Is it me, or does "Mike" look more like a Michelle now?

Gender dysphoria as cosmic punishment. I didn't think you could make me feel sorry for Mike. At least those other guys will regrow their legs... (Unless... Joe, if that's your next comic you'll be rolling in that sexy filthy patreon tf money!)

Actually, I think Michael (now pronounced "Michelle," apparently) looks pretty hot. And I think her (although I suppose, physicality notwithstanding Mike could still choose to identify as "he") sorry, where was I?
Oh, yeah...I think Mike's hair looks pretty cool. I'd like hair like that. Although, if I wasn't living in a greyscale world, I'd want it to be purple.

I am SO going to miss this comic. It is a downright privilege to have gotten to watch your growth as a storyteller and artist.

Man, Jack is creating entire races and turning everyone into big boobed ladies. I suppose that once the magic flows get cleared this will stop happening, or at least it will stop being Jacks fault if it is still happening.
But, hey, thank you for this. I wish you well soon on your injury, and wish you well on whatever endeavor you have next.

What was it Jack said? "Set some kind of record for creating magical she-beasts?"

The particular term he used was "unprecedented she-creatures." His magic really does seem to have a preference!

Honestly, even with Jack's penchant, Mike almost did this to himself:

Yes! Took me a bit after I saw this page initially, but the last conversation Mike had with Jack really cements that his current situation is karmic justice, not just Jack's special brand of magic turning everything he touches into ladies.
Very nice.
