I’ve not poked much fun at Twilight, mostly because it feels too much like swatting a fly with a howitzer. Beside that, better minds than mine have taken stabs at it recently. (Unfortunately, not with a wooden stake.)
Still, when it’s lampooned effectively, I can’t help but chuckle.
Sam’s comment in the first panel neatly sums up what I think of vampires and the whole “goth emo” scene, but it’s Fuzzy’s comment in the last panel really sells it for me.
*Yes, I’m still busy with the book illustration and other assorted projects, but I had to get these little silly things out of my system by foisting them off on visitors. Lucky you. I’ll be back to my semiserious “deep thoughts” (thanks, Ixo!) later. I’ve got some game design to talk about next week. Or later, depending on, well, everything.*
You know, I feel the exact same way about vampires and emo goth stuff…
And then when I do random paintings it appears my popular paintings are…
…vampire emo goth stuff.
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! OGRES ARE LIKE ONIONS!
*runs away wailing to self*
Thanks for the link, Tesh. I appreciate that muchly and verily.
I have a big problem with the OMG GOTH vampire scene right now in general, but Twilight is the worst offender. I’ve really come to enjoy True Blood on HBO despite the vampure culture because it’s a background fixture.
There is no fix for Twilight, though. Were it possible for me to stake the franchise and free us all, I certainly would. Where’s Buffy when you need her?
let’s see some illustrations!
