You have to admit, though, Slug managed to cram all the questions into one image. Drac screws a (presumed) zombie, Wolfie bites off Drac’s hand, then directs the gushing wound down Drac’s gullet so he won’t starve. Zombie-girl holds a chicken foot for the voodoo connection. Did he miss anything? ---

I was a bit worried about the possibility of censorship by prudish publishers, when I saw that. Then I remembered that the _Reader_ is a free alternative urban weekly. OK, no problem. ---

Occasionally, normal newspapers write to the READER asking to carry Cecil’s column (which is available, of course, for a fee.) The response (I was told) was to send a few sample columns and illustrations, such as [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/050610.html](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/050610.html) or [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1\_065.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_065.html) … and then they usually shy away. ---
