Wait a minute, you’re telling me Icepick Joe is from some obscure Scorsese film and wasn’t just created by Kim Newman for that Anno Dracula short story. Well damn, now I gotta go through that collection and see if any other characters from the movie show up.
*sorry, Scorsese *produced* film. All due credit to Matteo JWHJ 0715.
**Did any of these characters show up in Dracula Cha Cha Cha? It would have made sense but I don’t have the energy to go through the whole book.

nearly 50,000 grad students and researchers are on strike at the university of california this week for fair pay and benefits, one of the largest strikes in years, but this won’t get the national attention it deserves from politicians and the media because a) it’s on the west coast and b) since the people on strike almost all have college degrees it’s not viewed as a “traditional labor” issue.
A quarter of grad students at the UC faced food insecurity even before the pandemic, people work multiple jobs, live in their cars, and rack up massive amounts of debt while working at the UC.
(it has gotten some good coverage, here’s a post article explaining the issues. https://t.co/RVI7e1xchT)
Support the strike fund here, and if you’re a UC student, worker, or professor, do not cross the picket line!!!

A few months ago I decided to finally try my hand at action figure customization because my 3.75 X-Men needed a Magik.
I think she’s pretty good for a first attempt. Paint was a little rough in places but up on the display shelf you hardly notice.
Made from a Black Widow, a Bucky, and a Captain Rex with an old GI Joe vs Cobra era Storm Shadow sword.

I hope that before Dracula Daily finishes, someone draws the one scene I’d like to see: Mina taking Drac on in a fistfight and winning.

One of the things I’ve always appreciated about how many skills and hobbies Daphne in particular was given (I suspect by writers trying to counter her reputation from the original show) is that it makes her character that of a deeply weird rich kid with a collection of strange hobbies. She’s a pastel Wednesday Addams…and I mean that as a compliment.

With the news of Velma’s new love interest I think it’s worth noting that it continues one of Velma’s most consistent character traits—that male or female, her type is people willing and able to commit crimes.
Marcie
Windsor
That Lancelot actor
That NASA Scientist
You could make a case for Ben Ravencroft
Now this new lady who designs monster costumes for villains.
Velma, who is also the only member of the gang to ever herself be the monster in disguise, is pretty exclusively attracted to criminals.

If I had a nickel for every time Scooby Doo fell in Love with an alien intelligence masquerading as a fellow dog I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened Twice.
