   You just had to have a crack at Twilight in here, somewhere, didn’t you?

     I thought diddling a mummy was a stab at Anne Rice’s necro-erotica novellas.

       I’m guessing; a little from Column A, …a little from Column B

         Yeah, I got a bit of both in that, as well. The sparkliness is definitely a stab at Twilight while the sexy mummies living forever is definitely a jab in the general direction of Anne Rice’s “The Mummy (or Ramses the Damned).”

     Yes. In fact, if he had not, I would have trouble viewing this comic as legitimate entertainment. Making fun of Twilight is an absolute necessity.

   Oh god, this was even HINTED at waaay back when in like the first year when Amber makes a crack about how mummies are the hot shit instead of vampires or zombies. Man, that’s good planning.

     The joke in that comic doesn’t really make me laugh, but the middle panel is glorious.

     I get the feeling that people are still going to say that Penny Arcade came up with the mummy thing first.

   Twilight would have been a lot better if the vampires and werewolves were replaced by superheroes…

     Naw, it’d still be sexist Mary Sue fanfiction crap, regardless of genre.
