This all changes one night in a bar when she meets Jimmy, a charming werewolf with a wry sense of humor and a fondness for running wild during the full moon. Haha.A New York Times bestselling love story between a vampire and a werewolf by the creator of the enormously popular Sarah’s Scribbles comics.Įlsie the vampire is three hundred years old, but in all that time, she has never met her match. They just feel more insubstantial when you have them together in one place.
I don’t think collecting these strips does them any favors. I think I read the whole thing in fifteen minutes, to be honest.įangs is one of those books where the more I thought about it, the less I liked it. Instead, the best I can say about this book is that I like the art, and it was occasionally funny, maybe a quarter of the time. Perhaps I would have been more forgiving of this collection if there was an overarching story, or if the individual strips were funnier. This collection sort of feels like that concept distilled into comic form: what if a vampire and a werewolf dated, got really comfortable, loved each other, and there was absolutely no conflict or danger? Personally, I find that kind of boring. People love to write fan-fiction about their favorite characters falling in love and experiencing no trauma or strife whatsoever. I know there is a market for this sort of thing, of course. Some of the strips are literally just a picture of them hanging out being a couple, drinking tea and reading. That’s it! There isn’t any kind of developing story or anything. They meet, they do couple things, and sometimes there are jokes about vampires or werewolves. The stars of the strips in Fangs are a couple: Elsie the vampire and Jimmy the werewolf. Although the art style and main characters are very different from Sarah’s Scribbles, the strips in Fangs are still one-page slice-of-life jokes and observations. I’d assumed that it was a longer story, but it’s actually a collection of another webcomic.
However, it turns out that Fangs doesn’t go that far afield. When I heard about her new book, Fangs, I was intrigued because it sounded so different from her oftentimes silly work in Sarah’s Scribbles. Those strips are the exact sort of thing that people love to share on social media. Sarah Anderson is best known for her Sarah’s Scribbles web comics, where a big-eyed, spiky-haired version of herself deals with introversion, anxiety, and the vagaries of modern life in a humorous, relatable way.
