About this Strip

This comic came about specifically from a previous one where I stated, explicitly, that vampires could not reproduce. I was quite clear about that, in no uncertain terms.

Of course, I forgot that Dracula had a kid, Alucard, and that fucked all of that right up. Stupid Castlevania series getting in the way of me making my own, cohesive world.

So, I had to elaborate the point out further. I did steal bits of this from other vampire literature, and then just sorta fleshed it out to suit my needs.

As far as Dracula reproducing, it could be seen as one of two ways:

If Dracula was young, which if he had Alucard in the time period he was supposed to, and was the real Vlad Dracula made into a vampire (as would be historically accurate for the person -- just not the vampire part, we think), then as a young vampire he'd be able to have a child without it being that big a deal.

That said, if you pay attention to Castlevania continuity, and Dracula is in fact an impersonator, a vampire that was centuries older who presumably killed the real Dracula and took over his life, than Alucard was a chance by-product or a human/vampire coupling.

Of course, I really dislike the idea that Dracula isn't Dracula and is, instead, some other ponce pretending to be Dracula, so I choose to ignore it.
