Yeah that's pretty much where I expected that to go. At least Lorie got a hit in.

It’s way easier to read via the second link, at least on mobile. It’s a good, well-paced comic that packs quite a bit into just a few pages.

It's a very simple idea, but compelling. And it would absolutely be an ideal way to recruit victims, if you're a group of vampires.

The sad part is that I think a lot of women (including myself in darker times) absolutely wouldn't fight. There's that much pressure to be thin and conventionally attractive. Is becoming a vampire really worse than weight loss surgery?

I told the artist on Twitter that now every time I might be tempted to join a diet group, I'll think "wait a minute; could be vampires."

Pretty good metaphor for MLMs.

Love the line art and limited colour patches: so much personality!

Yeah I would do it as long as it didn't confer immortality and I could just get animal blood or something instead of having to go to meetings. Having to drink blood directly from an actual human is way too much interaction for me. Interacting with other vampires doesn't look much fun either.
