If you thought her last Sarah’s Scribbles book was bad, Sarah Andersen hasn’t improved now that she’s decided to write for the Twilight crowd. I was bored from start to finish but I can see plenty of people raving about her strips because they seem designed for the social media crowd who consider looking at Instagram “reading”. Your mileage will vary depending on your sense of humour but I found Fangs to be full of really obvious, predictable, unoriginal, unfunny, tedious, vapid, banal, and self-satisfied easy “jokes”. Sunlight, silver, blood… all the expected bullshit is here. Werewolves are like dogs - look, Jimmy hates the postman ‘cos he’s a werewolf and that’s like a dog and arhharhgh… He chases squirrels, she takes a selfie but she’s a vampire so she’s invisible. Yes, cute girl, but could turn into a real bitch.
Sarah Andersen moves away from her Sarah’s Scribbles gag strips to produce… basically the same thing albeit with less cartoony art and centred around vampire/werewolf tropes. )Īll told I really liked “Fangs” and I kind of want more of those two super sweet little monsters! *lol*Įlsie’s a vampire and Jimmy’s a werewolf and they’re girlfriend and boyfriend and hilarity ensues and waffle waffle… Yes, the author might exploit a lot of clichés here, but she did it in a fun way and truth be told this only added to my enjoyment. It was on point and caused me to smirk whenever they did something “typical”. So I think “sequential art” might be the most accurate description here and I noticed that a lot of reviewers already put it in that genre which is great! =)Īs for the story itself: I loved it! Elsie and Jimmy are so adorable and I loved the black humour. Because of this the pacing is pretty fast and it seems like they jump right into their relationship and push the “fast forward” button instead of taking it slow. This was no story with a central theme but rather little snippets of Elsie’s and Jimmy’s story that starts when they meet in a bar. So first things first: I know this is titled as a webcomic, but I think this might not be the right description for “Fangs”. I mean a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf? It sounded interesting and I decided to investigate.
This said, I found this on tapas and was immediately intrigued. This is me speaking from the webcomic rabbit hole.
