If a vampire bites a human, the human becomes a vampire right?

If a human bites a vampire, the vampire…?

Takes her home apparently.

Well, if that isn’t a man bites dog scenario then I’m a monkey’s uncle. Remember the Armour Hot Dog song?

Vampires, caring vampires,
What kinda girls like caring vampires?
Big girls, naughty girls,
Girls who climb on rocks;
Demons, Devil-spawn,
Even girls with chicken pox
Love vampires, caring vampires,
The vamp girls love to bite!

Just couldn’t resist.

Now won’tcha gimme three steps…

Hey, the last time a girl bit me, I took her home… Er, I think she bit me afterwards… Uh… Let’s just say I wasn’t complaining! 🙂

And Marcus is proved to be a real gentleman as well. I’m beginning to like these vampires…

heh… this is a pretty sweet strip. It would be hilarious (if completely out of style) if some police officers say that exchange and intervened.

I realy like Marcus’ font. I don’t know why I didn’t notice it early, but it really suits him.

Isn’t that that if human tastes vampires blood he/she turns to vampire? I think what just happened was sure way for that to happen. At least if (s)he then dies by vampire bite. Most (more serious) vampire legends I have seen include blood transfer in both directions.

I think that you could argue both ways regarding the vampire issue; see Rice’s Queen of the Damned. There it has to do with the transfer of a resident elemental that gives a co-resident, semi-sentient life force where life would otherwise not exist.

Could there be “non-classical” means of inducing a vampiric state? Certainly Ignatius would be the one to figure that out, since he controls Marcus. Or we might be in for a treat regarding a slow transformation here with Tara.

Interesting that Tara is also a Gaelic name, as are the spells being used. That could make for some interesting synergy.

Also the whole legend from Vlad Tsepec was that of one hungry for destruction, although Vlad was probably single-minded in his desire to resist Islamic military incursions and therefore made of himself a demon to be feared by the enemy and loathed by his own people. Sometimes the command to survive suppresses other imperatives that result in one becoming morally ambiguous, yet historically necessary, Vlad, Son of the Dragon (Dracula), was likely one of those such figures. And Wallachia was not Islamized, while Vlad lies in the Eastern Orthodox monastery that he founded. It looks like he may have realized his own transgressions, yet saw no other way. I like the real Vlad better than Dracula or Nosfaratu.

Oh, by the way,

Since Ignatius was a king, that makes him the political beast. Since Rex uses the structure of the Church, that makes him the ecclesiastical beast. Together you have an analogy to the two beasts called for in Revelation 13.

He that hath ears, let him hear.

Vampire stories are old. So old that I have sometimes wondered if there is something real in behind those stories. Like some extinct fruit bat that switched from fruits to meat (these bats can grow rather big), or some other similar predator that was threat to humans in stone age, and hunted only nights. An sub-species of human that specialized to hunt other human-like species during nights, and which killed its prey by biting to throat. Nighttime hunting would develop its eyesight so that daytime would be too bright to it (strange eyes). Maybe even have inheritable “disease” that causes them to need blood (there is real disease that consumed blood can keep in control) and maybe also light sensitivity similar to Lupus disease.

Not that anything like that has ever been found.
