One of the Read Harder tasks this year is to read a completed web-comic. Not having too much of an idea where to start I did some internet sleuthing and came up with Sarah Andersen’s Fangs. I have been a casual fan of Andersen’s work, particularly her Sarah’s Scribbles series that so often appear on my social media feeds. With the information at hand, this seemed like an excellent solution to finding just the right sort of book for me right now to fulfill this task.
And it was. Fangs was first featured as a webcomic series on Tapas, and is a visually more refined version of the Scribbles style art– as you might expect. I find the black and white illustrations to be beautiful and wish that Andersen had merchandise for it on her store. The story tells the tale of a three-hundred-year-old vampire (Elsie) who falls in love with a werewolf (Jimmy) after meeting at a bar one night. Told in a serialized manner, the reader follows along with the ordinary ways this well-suited couple deal with being in a relationship with someone who is vastly different to themselves.
This is a book full of humor based on the relationships we cultivate with the people we love. I found plenty to chuckle along with as we watch these two find a balance in the way they live – from sleeping habits, to television and movie choices, to what they eat (or do not). It was a quick, enjoyable read that I can easily suggest to almost anyone. I just wish I managed to write the review weeks ago when it was all fresher in my mind.
