A bout with insomnia had me watching an Invader Zim ep at 2am. Guess which ep - That's right Game Slave 2 - with the vampire piggies. So, I started thinking about a vampire piggy.

Meet a new character in progress. He's a Spampyre. (Word first coined by Abel DuSable in his Spooky Stories Trilogy.) Bout all I can tell you about him for now. This may be one of the most directly inspired ideas I've ever had.
