The Todd of Dracula

As the blog says, I like to cover everything and anything Arrested Development, so this definitely fits. Good friend of the blog Christian recently did a comic filled with in-jokes for his wife for a birthday present called Todd of Dracula. Due to popular demand, he recently posted the entire thing online.

Like I said, it's filled with in-jokes meant for his wife and for fans of the Dark Shadows TV show (and fans of hating the Dark Shadows movie starring Johnny Depp, which I think fits most of the world), but thanks to his annotations, it can be enjoyed by the rest of us. I know I had quite a few laugh out loud moments. To the left lies one pertinent series of panels from the book that will make it so that you never look at "Mr. Wendal" the same way again.

Anyway, take a look at it if you get a chance. Christian has a lot of talent and it'd be fun to see him work at something for wider audiences. In the meantime, we can enjoy what he has already done.

Also, the ten minutes I spent ordering a massage gift certificate on the internet for my wife's birthday this year looks doubly lame after seeing the effort he put into this! On the other hand, I did dedicate my book to her, so that counts for something, right?

Oh man, that page makes almost no sense out of context - on the plus side, it doesn't make much more sense *in* context, either :D As anyone can tell from this page, warning for language. And thank you so much for the link, Jeremy!

(Also - full apologies for what looks like a dig on AD; it's a loving, loving tribute, believe me.)
