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!
Joel and Aaron represent the two dueling genres of rock music in the early '90s. Joel loves alternative rock because he's always valued substance over style; Aaron loves hair metal because all the music videos have smokin' hot babes in 'em.

Ah, for the pre-deflategate Super Bowl days, when the only controversy was how annoying Pete Fountain's halftime show was going to be.
Early in 1990, the American military forced Manuel Noriega out of his Panamanian hidey-hole by blasting The Clash and Van Halen in the windows at 200 decibels for 72 hours straight. Joel finds that it works just as well with The Pixies.
This is one of those overt '90s pop culture jokes that are typical of this strip. People tell me I should back off from doing these and stick to more character-based humor. I don't see why I can't do both - the aim of Nineteen-Ninety-Something is to explore the characters' personalities by how they react to the pop culture around them. That way, it's character driven, but I still get to do the nostalgia stuff.
