vampire

A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a vampire rises from inside an open coffin, baring his fangs and pointing accusingly at a man who stands over him gripping a wooden stake. The vampire protests: "I never kill anything! I just take a blood meal once in a while, which BY THE WAY grants immortality. YOU guys domesticated entire species of thinking creatures so you could kill them at will and eat their flesh! And now you're here to kill me in my sleep?! YOU'RE the monster, Van Helsing. YOU." In the votey (aftercomic), a close-up of the stake-wielding man's face shows him thinking in a thought bubble: "BETTER MURDER HIM QUICK BEFORE MY CONSCIENCE KICKS IN..." The joke: rather than rebut the vampire's hypocrisy argument about humans farming and eating animals, the hunter just decides to kill him fast before guilt sets in.
