By June of 1995, when this strip fell due, TSR had already agreed to let us to go to a full-page format. But first, following the 15-month-long run of "Hard Fun", the new editorship, itself unfamiliar with our story, wanted us to recap who everybody was.
This seems to have confused everyone at Dragon, so we didn't mind the do-over, with only a nominal reference to Ralph's dimensional challenges. After all, having been given a whole new format, we figured we owed them their request for a refresher. Four months later, Yamara would be gone from the magazine for good.
There's a tall, muscular Howdy Doody vampire in the background of panel five... I think Chris just started drawing a vampire there, he looked a little like Howdy, so he added freckles and a scarf to make him look more like Howdy. Back at panel three, there are two female vampires bearing a striking resemblance to Eddy and Patsy, the characters played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous. This is spun out from an in-joke in the authors own private stash, about what would happen if the AbFab banshees discovered vampirism.
life and make claim to the fashion world that they had been the ones to "discover undeath"- through Forever Knight's LaCroix, sweetie. We had entire plots sketched out about Saffy trying in vain to stop her mother's idiotic course; the typical discordant screaming match while Eddy levitated drunkenly around, knocking over the garlic and exorcists that happened to be there. We felt an Eddy vampire wearing a big "LaCroix" necklace was enough of a joke to include it. Yamara(TM) and all characters and likenesses are trademarks of Manui & Adams.
