Nineteen-Ninety Something [Bart Simpson's Dracula Parody]

Fanart done for jbwarner86 's webcomic, Nineteen-Ninety-Something for 2023's Halloween. The year in the comic at time was covering 1993 which is the year when Treehouse of Horror IV aired, and that included one of my favorite segments, Bart Simpson's Dracula. So I just thought it be fun to have some characters from the comic act out a few scenes in the style of the comic's humor (or as close to it as I could get anyway, ha ha).

It's not one for one of the segment, just something done on the quick and not meant to be serious, which is why there's some OOC moments here, just for the sake of comedy. Really I see this as a dream Kendra is having after binging on some Halloween candy and falling asleep as the segment was airing.

If you're familiar with the comic, some role explanation:

Jenny and Eric in the Bart and Lisa's roles. Makes sense seeing as they're still kids and Jenny especially being a trouble maker similar to Bart. And yeah, her devil may care attitude would likely get her caught by vampires and turned. Plus I have no doubt she would very likely enjoying being a vampire.

Ronald and Phyliss in the Burns' and Smithers role. He's one of the more unpleasant folks in the comic despite Phyliss and he being extremely conservative. So I loved the irony in Ronald being a vampire master and Phyliss just following his lead as a bloodsucker. Honestly fits him too since he's such a control freak. The Simpsons ep likewise did some irony too (Flanders as the Devil in the first segment), so why not.

Everyone else is still more less in character from the comic, just reacting the craziness around them. Ho-hum.

I might add one more page to it as I still got an idea for a joke where Ronald comes in to bite Jenny and she's still mocking him even with the threat of losing her blood. Likewise I wanna throw in a few more of the comic's jerks as some of undead brood. We'll see if I ever get the time. For now though, enjoy!

I'm curious: Outside of the obvious Initial D and Wangan Midnight inspirations, what else motivated you to make PowerGEAR? You are still working on PowerGEAR? Right?

Yeah PowerGEAR is still on track, don’t worry. It’s just taking more time given that I want to make it a story/machinima type dealie. I might drop the Machinima angle though to get it out sooner, but I’m hoping to learn and use rFactor for Machinimas instead of Trackmania 2.

As for motiviation outside of D and Midnight, it’s a whole bunch of stuff.

One of the first thing comes to mind is this little known one-shot graphic novel called Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong. It’s about some popular high school kid who’s caught in the crossfire of two cliques that he happens to be apart of. Basically teenager dealing with teenager things. It’s a fun little book, highly recommend.

Something else that also had a bit of influence on PowerGEAR’s direction of it’s characters is this webcomic strip I used to read on Deviantart called Nineteen-Ninety-Something by @jbwarner86. It’s a slice-o’-life series about a group of teens (the strips usually rotate between characters) living life in the 90′s. When in the 90′s? Where and whenever JB feels it’s right.

Admittedly I haven’t really read the strip in a while since I stopped using Deviantart since it’s just a cesspool of bad updates and other stuff, but it’s a real nice comic with some pretty good art, kinda gives off a mid-90′s Warner Bros. TV animation vibe. All in all highly recommended.

Another thing is I just felt like I needed to balance out my characters and stories. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE my Delinquent centric New York Densetsu, and I’ll keep working hard on Nonkina Ace and it’s battlin’ Clown.

But sometimes you can have too much of a good thing and ya need to balance things out. And I think PowerGEAR’s more down-to-earth tones are just what my writings need.
