Anytime Jon! I'm a bit concerned that you'd infer Picpak has illegally unsafe costumes! XD

Even when it was the bears, I knew it was the Generals!

This sounds like a good price for B&W. I'm just curious if any interest is there.

Well Jon, you are an odd fellow, but you don't make a fool of yourself when steaming hams.

The Vampire On Our Block
Ch 1-03-Pg 10
Well! There it is, out in the open! And either terrible or perfect timing on Eloise's part. Come back on Monday to find out!

#TheVampireOnOurBlock #comic #webcomic #horrorcomic #vampire #ghosthunting

Panel 1: POV Fred. Jarek smiling, says: “Your mom told me you and your friend went ghost hunting last night. See anything interesting? Any ghosts?”
Panel 2: POV Jarek. Fred, having pulled himself together, watches Jarek as he walks into the room. He answers: “Yup.”
Panel 3: Fred has walked the long way around the living room so he didn’t have to cross in front of Jarek. Fred casually walks towards the corner of the couch, closest to Jarek.
Jarek asks: “Really?”
Fred: “Yup. A ghost...”
Panel 4: Fred drops down onto the couch, looking directly at Jarek as he calmly continues “... and a vampire.”
Panel 5: Fred and Jarek stare at eachother. Fred has a neutral expression, waiting for Jarek’s response. Jarek, in turn, is staring at Fred with a serious expression. Not quite a glare.
Panel 6: Eloise comes back downstairs, carrying her cellphone in her hand. She interrupts: “So... What’re we walking about?”

Been brainstorming an idea but want your input. Bluesky doesn't have polls, so how much would you spend on a monthly Picpak zine collecting recent comics? $5? $8? $10?

May I steam it?

Steamed hams? I've been calling it steamed clams! Oh, I've been making a fool of myself!

She was so smart - she knew, all the way across the house, that the carrier was being brought out.

It’s #InktoberDay9! Some people are hard to find, but the striped shirt, glasses and beanie are the unmistakable trademarks of this beloved picture book character! That’s right, it’s Missing Boy, quite possibly Spirit #Halloween’s laziest effort to skirt legalities! #Inktober

The Vampire On Our Block
Ch 1-03-pg 09
Kinda rude that Jarek is still wearing his shoes in the house...

#TheVampireOnOurBlock #comic #webcomic #horrorcomic #vampire

Panel 1: Continuing from previous page, Eloise takes Fred’s head in her hands as she pleads with him: “Please my darling, I just need you to be safe!”
Panel 2: Eloise lets go of Fred and points at him, adding “And no ghost hunting until I get back!”
Fred: “WHAT?! But mom-”
Panel 3: POV Fred, Eloise has her arms folded and is looking at him, with a waiting expression. She has put her foot down on the matter, and nothing Fred could say would sway her.
Panel 4: POV Eloise as Fred opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.
Panel 5: Fred lowers his head, glancing away. He says to Eloise “Siiiigh. Fiiiiiine....”
Eloise gently touches Fred’s arm and says “Thank you. Ricky.”
Panel 6: In one swift move, Eloise has taken Fred’s backpack and shoves him towards the living room. Fred, not expecting this, stumbles forward.
Eloise: “Now you two talk among yourselves... I need to grab something from upstairs.”
Panel 7: Fred barely stops his stumble right in front of Jarek, who is still sitting in the living room, and smiling at Fred.

It’s #InktoberDay8! Your toddler will go cooky over this costume based on a beloved childhood figure who’s tweaked just enough to skirt copyright infringement. That’s right, this #Halloween, hit the trick-or-treat trail and get your fill with the Pastry Creature! #Inktober
