The Vampire On Our Block- Chapter 1-Part 01
Here is part 01 in one post-1/4
#TheVampireOnOurBlock #ghosthunting #vampire #comic #webcomic #horrorcomic #adventurecomic

Panel 1: An abandoned industrial site at night. A speech bubble from inside the building asks "Is there anyone here with us?"
Panel 2: Interior of the decrepit building. A soft light emulates from a dark room.
Panel 3: Inside the room, Fred sits on the floor with his back to the wall, while Alex sits on a chair. On a table is a small EMF reader. Alex says "If you're here, please walk towards the device on the table. It will light up the closer you get to it."
Panel 4: Panel within Panel, close-up of the EMF reader with the "all clear" green light remaining the only light.
Panel 5: Fred: "SIIIIGH. Sorry Alex, but I'm gonna call it here. We've been here for hours and haven't had any signs of ghostly activity."

Panel 1: Fred turns on his flashlight as Alex says "Siiiigh, Ok. Lets pack up the gear.
Panel 2: The boys put on their backpacks and begin to leave.
Alex: "Think we got any evidence on the recording devices?"
Fred: "Nope."
Panel 3: Alex: "But you'll still help me go through the footage, right?"
Fred: "yup."
Panel 4: Alex: "You know, most ghost hunters spend the whole night at a haunted house."
Fred: "I know."
Panel 5: Alex and Fred are on the other side of the chain link fence now, far away from the abandoned building. Alex dangles from the tree they have to climb to get out of the grounds.
Fred: "But most ghost hunters don't have a math teacher who plays pranks on anyone caught sleeping in class. So no 'all nighters' until summer, at least."

Fred and Alex walk away from the abandoned building and into the city proper. The street is empty, but is lit by many street lights.
Panel 1: Alex: (looking at a text on his phone) "Daphne just texted. She's done her thing and can pick us up.
Fred: "Cool"
Panel 2: Fred: "Hey, Alex? Can we ease up on the ghost hunting missions?"
Alex: "WHAT?!"
Panel 3: Fred: "I'm just getting tired of all the nothing we find."
Panel 4: A small green car has pulled up beside the boys and they start to get in the vehicle. Fred: "I'm not saying we should quit. But maybe we could take a break for a bit."
Panel 5: View, inside the car. An woman in her early 20's is in the driver seat. Her hair is pulled back in a tight bun and she has glasses.
Fred: "Thanks for the lift, Daphne."
Panel 6: Everyone is in the car and strapped in. Daphne begins to drive. Daphne: "No worries Fred! Sooo... See any Ghosts tonight?"

Panel 1: The lone car drives along an empty, but well lit street at night. From inside the car, both Fred and Alex answer Daphne's question from the previous page: "Siighh! No."
Panel 2/3: They travel along at speed, inside the car, Alex turns to ask Fred: "Oh! Fred! My mom wanted to know what day YOUR mom is leaving on her work expedition, again?"
Panel 4: Fred glances out his window: "The Monday after next."
Panel 5: Alex: "And she'll be gone for a month?"
Panel 6: Daphne: "A MONTH!? Oh Freddy, I'm sure our parents would be happy if you stayed with us!"
Panel 7: Fred: "Thanks Daphne, but I'll be fine. It's not the first time I've been left on my own, ya know!"

Can you dig it?

A six panel comic, two with three rows of two panels each give her the corgi is digging a hole so that he can bury his bone. In the second panel, he drops his bone into the finished hole, which is so deep, it creates a hole right out the bottom of the panel. When he drops the bone into the hole, it falls right out the panel and into the fourth panel, although he doesn't notice this. In the third panel he turns around and starts filling the hole back up with dirt. In the fourth panel, the hole is full again, but the bone is resting on top, having fallen down from the second panel. In the 5th panel, Dipper examines the bone, looking confused. A little bit of dirt from the third panel is just starting to fall into the top of the frame. In the 6th panel, Dipper is covered in dirt, and looks annoyed

Net loss

A six panel comic... Two rows of three panels each.

In the first panel, Hilde the cat looks up as a big butterfly net swoops down to catch her.
In the second panel, the lizard man Hunter emerges from the bushes, excited that he has caught her. However, beneath the net, the cat is using her giant pencil to erase the ground beneath her feet.
In the third panel, the cat drops down through the newly erased hole into the fifth panel. The lizard man looks on in confusion.
In the fourth panel, the lizard man Neil's next to the net and looks down, trying to figure out what happened. The net is now drooping down through the hole.
In the fifth panel, the cat drops down through the hole in the third panel, and bops the lizard man, pushing him down into the net.
In the 6th panel, the cat walks away. The lizard man is now dangling in the net through the hole beneath the sixth panel.

The Ghost Hunting Team take a break from the supernatural shenanigans to watch the #CRAZIESDayParade, and eat pizza and popcorn!
(That's Aloysius, The Cheerful Ghoul on the tv. Legally distinct from Casper The Friendly Ghost!)
