   Ok, yeah, I really didn’t explain this…at all, actually, and I meant to! There again, posting these late and half awake makes for strange and confusing comics. Anyhoo, in the original book version of Brahm Stoker’s Dracula, ol’ V-Imp (vlad the impaler) traps Johnathan Harker in his castle and as a means of keeping an eye on the poor guy, he goes through his personal items. Johnathan tries to send messages to his GF Mina in shorthand, and also keeps a journal in shorthand. When Dracula finds the journal and letters and realizes he can’t read them, he gets really annoyed. He’s all “DRAT!!!!” and stuff. It’s a great unintentionally funny moment. Or, well, at least it was for me.

   So, there you have it. It’s kind of an obscure reference and I really shoud’ve explained it. Have you ever read it? It is amazingly good.

   Did you really just call Vlad V-Imp? That is awesome. And it reminds me of how Dracula signs his name at the beginning of the movie version with Gary Oldman. “D.”
