Scary Gary by Mark Buford for March 13, 2023

If Gary is a bloodsucker, Leo’s surely a joysucker.

Why just the other night I sucked the jelly out of a jelly donut.

Female mosquitoes need a “blood feeding” so their eggs will develop and they can find their version of happiness in propagating their species. So, a little bite on the neck can’t be so bad, can it? In fact if you check I’ll bet there’s not even a law against it.

No; He Resembles that.

Poor Gary! An empty shell of his former self!

I wander the cul de sac in my mortal shell but the perfect lawn eludes me.

Gary, happiness evades you because you are in denial of your true nature. But wait, maybe his true-true nature is calling to him, from across the a cursed eons of vampirism. His original true milquetoast nature. Could it be true that the meek do in fact inherit the earth? Could milquetoast be stronger than evil?!?! If Gary is our true savior, I fear all hope is lost…

Leo, you’re a butthead. :)

Vampires are predators because their parasite that changes them needs a host.

Leopold does know how to get under Gary’s skin, doesn’t he? —But it is the truth, too!
