And you thought I introduced vampire squash because I was a raving lunatic…

Okay, that’s correct, but that’s not the only reason!

    I knew you’d bring the vampire squash back! They were too awesome NOT to mention again!

    ^ · ·^ It’s, it’s like in every bit writ lies the wit of Chekhov and his gun.
    ^. . ^ wait…. that … I would….
    okay time for sleep.

    The Vampire Squash followed me to bed one night after their first appearance. Wonderful dream, I only wish I could remember more of it. Some days later I found myself doing a squash doodle at work. I must say I am very delighted to see them here again. ^^

  4. Rave says:

    Hurray for Chekhov’s Gun 😛

  5. Flewellyn says:

    More like Chekhov’s Gourd.

  6. Willow says:

    Vampire squash with vocal cords, no less!

  7. Mark Antony says:

    Chekov’s Vampiric Squash. Sounds like a D&D spell.

    Okay, I’m totally writing up that spell and using it in my next campaign.

  8. TekServer says:

    Ha! I like that, Mark. I may use that one myself …

    😀

  9. Hunter says:

    Those squash will probably be diced in seconds, but it’s still a good delaying tactic.

  10. Absconding_Cascade says:

    If you don’t mind me giving this advice Mark & Tek If you do make Chekov’s Vampiric Squash into a D&D spell it should do twice the damage than normal if mentioned before hand due to the spell being powered partially powered by Chekhov’s Gun … or some kind of penalty should be worked in to the spell if you don’t mention it. Also you could make it into a type of low level monster and have it so after a magic user over a certain level (i.e. level 5) defeats them that they gain the spell that summons a Vampire squash & have it that every level you go up you get to summon one more Vampire squash (i.e. level 5=one vampire squash per Chekov’s Vampiric Squash spell , level 6=two vampire squash per Chekov’s Vampiric Squash spell and so on). Also summoning them when its day time would probably either require more magic And/or make them less effective.

    for any who really need to know, my father had left his squash in the vegi patch until today, having never heard of the folklaw. thankfully I was here to pick them and nip vampyric infestation in the bud before they turned…

    The squash “waking up” in the first panel is so cute. “Gnuh?”

  13. Jamie P. says:

    I love that the creepiest, baddest guys in the comic so far are about to get their @sses handed to them by vegetables.

  14. BunnyRock says:

    If anyone cares, that was me posting, and it was utterly true. I alone prevented a zombie-pumpkin plague rampaging across Surrey on Christmas day.

    ….

    Damnit! Why did I do that? That would have made the best Dr Who Christmas special EVER!
