Scary Gary by Mark Buford for December 20, 2023

Gary, the neighbors are restless tonight!!!

Oh there sure accepted that you is vampire, Vampy. And they is then acted accordingly.

We already have bats in our neighborhood, so you’re welcome to live here, Gary.

You’ll be fine.

Leo is so helpful.

Cowardly racists!! Why do they even live in that neighborhood if nobody likes them?

Apparently the one thing he isn’t ‘permitted’ to identify as.

You’d think by now, the neighborhood would realize Gary isn’t violent…Leo is the culprit.

He’ll get to it, Leopold.

“Shoot the juice to me Bruce, Pass the crimson to me Jimson…..”

“But hey, more tools for the Tool Shed…”

I hate when that happens.

Maybe they actually do not have to accept the fact that you’re a vampire. Or they accept it as a fact and responding rationally to the danger.

In the digital age, Gary gets attacked by flash mobs.

“A riot is an ugly thing. And it’s just about time that we had one!”

Panel 1: A New Hope! Panel 2: Yes! You go, Gary! Panel 3: Oh, no! You’re gone, Gary! A true goner! Panel 4: Leave no fallen warrior behind, or whatever the vampire equivalent is. Leopold is just too satisfied with the outcome….
