Count Rapula. A rapper of the night that will not hesitate to violently tear into your neck if you ask him for an autograph. I'm not really sure what the joke here is, but I like the distinct lack of a punchline. The repeated panel at the end sort of provides a mundane context to this insane character. It's kind of about meeting someone famous in an everyday place and having that celebrity lose their mystique, if you want to read too closely into it. Sean's coloring in the middle panel makes me smile.
There was going to be another, very realistic and anime-inspired comic that featured the Count rapping and then violently devouring a victim. A rough sketch is floating around here somewhere, and though it's terrible, I'll post it if I can find it.
