Yes, the honest-to-goodness end of the road for Club Vamporama, after 15 years, on-and-off!
NOTE: I am recreating this post in May 2026, however, as I accidentally deleted the original post rather than making it private, during one of my anti-archiving spells. Nothing lost in terms of post content, but, alas, the original comments people left are gone… hopefully we can get a few new ones.
OK, the finale deserved two pages, anyhow. Maybe the cynicism about 2021 is somewhat influenced by the current political climate and the lovely COVID era. Away we go…
It is comics, so nothing HAS to end, but I do like the idea that the end is just a new beginning (though not in a religious sense, obviously).
The power of our imaginations – making and creating new ideas, art, perspectives, all has to be begin by being imagined. And like that Bowie Lyric, 1982 was a great year for me too in so many ways…
I always liked these!
The writing & art are a perfect fit for each other.
I’ve been writing like mad the last 3 years (after getting over that PTSD thing), and lately, find myself actually REGRETTING ever becoming obsessed with doing comics in the first place. I’ve been wanting to write since I was 6, and frankly, the art always just GOT IN THE WAY. It took too long, and slowed down my writing terribly.
I just got a brand-new computer this week (the cheapest I could find!) and so far have been amazed I’ve had an easier time setting things up than I did on the last 4 computers in a row.
I still need to get set up for my old Photoshop Limited Edition program. I refuse to pay rent (license fees) to use a program that should be FREE once you buy it. My tech guy has told me he should be able to set up a computer to run an earlier version of Windows, but it may mean having a separate computer that it strictly NON-internet. If that’s how it winds up, I’m okay with that.
As usual, I’m trying my best to create and maintain a positive attitude & state of mind. Which, in my situation (and in my neighborhood– and I use that word loosely) isn’t easy.
