Vampires
The “Gift”
Danny receives a heaping helping of shame and obligatory favors to return all wrapped up as a rebirthday “gift” from his soul-sucking creator, Mother Magnanimous.
Mother “Maggie” Magnanimous + Currr
Persona narcissus and Danny’s insidious, self-serving creator. Mother feeds not on life blood but soul tears, appearing as a benevolent angel of light to disarm her victims and reduce them into becoming her witless, monsterous minions to repurpose to her whims and sustain herself upon their suffering and adulation for her.
Currr is Mother’s consort, a hound of hell tormented and broken down into an impotent, foul-tempered lapdog who now only manages whimpering insults.
Loves Me … Not
Vampire-infatuated fan girl expresses to Danny her love for everything about the undead bloodsuckers except the whole undead, bloodsucking thing.
Cliché Con Comic
