Vampiric Gold

A crowd watches the vampire olympics, including a rowdy group of Americans Announcer: And we're still awaiting the judges' scores for Miss Ayres' performance Next up in the Woman's Maiming Event is Paola Mendoza from Argentina, so stay tuned Wooh French vampire: hmph

Because the Olympics aren't just for humans.

And before anyone gets on my case, I am well aware that the events displayed in the above picture are most likely not in line with the Geneva Convention.
But really. Is anything vampires do in line with the Geneva Convention?

Heck. Are vampires in line with the Geneva Convention?

I'm going on a tangent.
Why are you still reading this?
Go watch the Olympics.
Good day.

Keep Calm

It's late. I'm tired. I've spent the last week obsessing over finals and packing. So this week you get this poster I made a few months ago.

In other news, BILBY!!! ^^

Beginning of the End

Montage of Erin stabbing a voodoo doll representing school; typing while on the floor; Must comprehend instructions with deer on her head; making a phone call Hi I was wondering if you sell Time-Turners Yes, I'm serious; bawling while hugging stuffed unicorn; No, I don't want to restart for automatic updates; whimpering in the corner; begging of her computer Internet, I will love you forever and make you cookies if you just start working again; on the floor with a book on her face Wha-ha-ha I'm trying to do a Vulcan Mind Meld with a book She and roommate sit on beds Roommate: Just one more week of finals Erin: I don't think I can keep this up for that long

For the record, the above is more of a representation of my mental state rather than of what I've actually been doing recently. So no, I haven't been making any voodoo dolls. This semester. Special thanks goes to my roommate for agreeing to appear in this comic, even though I kind of posted it before I asked her.

By my count, I believe this is my 50th comic. Yay!

Oh, and in case anyone cares, doing a mind-meld with literature doesn't work. Even if you are an actual Vulcan.

The Rocket's Red Glare

Group of kids pool together money And together we have $483 Hey, mister We'd like to buy some fireworks Fireworks stand worker: The holiday is over We know, but you're still open, right Um, fine What do you want Everything 5 hours later: boy holds up match, looking at huge firework pile This is going to be epic 5 minutes later: They are all on the moon by the United States flag Remind me how this happened again This doesn't taste like cheese

1 group of pyromaniac school-age kids + $500 of fireworks on clearance = 1 unplanned trip to the moon.

Please do not try to replicate this at home. These people are in the vacuum of space without helmets, which a typical human lung does not appreciate.

Hmm? Oh yeah. And something about hurting yourself with those fireworks.

Murphy Was Here

Number of people in the dorm when you're trying to sleep: 12 Erin whimpers and covers head with pillow, while people outside chat loudly Number of people in the dorm when your roommate sets the stove on fire and needs help cleaning up the smoke damage: 2 Erin: How the heck did you start a fire by boiling water Roommate holds up fire extinguisher: I don't know How do you work this thing

The sad thing is that for once I'm not exaggerating. This is exactly what happened at my dorm last year. No, I still don't know how my roommate managed to start a fire by boiling water. All I know is that I was up until 10 o'clock at night helping her wipe all the smoke stains off of the walls and ceiling because the head managers were going to do a white-glove clean check in a couple of days. The rest of my roommates conveniently showed up after most of the work was already done.

On the plus side, now I can find comfort in knowing that despite all the times my cooking attempts have failed dramatically, I have never screwed up this badly.

Cat Wanna

Radio: authorities now estimate the giant rodents to be at least thirty feet in length These creatures and dangerous, and we advise all civilians to stay indoors and remain calm Crazy cat lady wields a katana and cats congregate as a shadowy mouse figure approaches the window

And thus the world was saved by a herd of cats and a crazy lady with a katana (cat-tana, get it? Oh, never mind....)

And thus a certain cartoonist admitted to herself that she had probably been watching too many cheesy monster B-movies lately.
