Goth vampire and lumberjack werewolf couple in life antics. Just as cute and wholesome as it sounds.

This was so much fun! Fangs consists of a series of vignettes depicting the very unusual relationship between a vampire and a werewolf, their eccentricities, their differences, and how, despite it all, they make it work.

I flew throught it; it's super quick and funny (I *actually* snorted several times), and the perfect read if you're in need of something lighthearted or a good laugh. I loved the art style, in all its "simplicity"; I think it worked amazingly with the collection, and it was overall very cute. I enjoyed the format, too. It's very slice of life; we get to see snippets of their relationship and day-to-day life, instead of a overly detailed storyline with long scenes, and I see how that might be a con for some people, but I found it very dynamic and fun.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I love Sarah Andersen so much, she's so talented, sweet and amazing. I love her art and imagination and I'm so happy to have read this wonderful and hilarious earc!

Fangs is a sweet love story between Elsie, a three hundred years old vampire and Jimmy, a werewolf and it follows their relationship, between cute and hilarious moments, love, banter, bickering, humour. It's a spooky and amazing story between two people very different from one other, but perfect for each other. They are sweet, funny and I love their relationship so much!
The drawings are perfect, the story made me laugh, swoon and smile so much! I can't wait to have this book in my hands!

I’ve been a fan of Sarah Andersen’s work since the early days and still follow her art religiously on Instagram. Suffice to say, I am not disappointed with this comic at all! It had the perfect amount of fluff and humour!
Fangs was such a sweet wholesome comic. I fell in love with Elsie and Jimmy’s relationship. They were so perfect together and I loved their banter and jokes. I would find myself laughing out loud at times, it was hilarious.
Overall, I enjoyed this so much! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a heartwarming love story between a vampire and werewolf.

Fangs is shorts collection about a really spooky-cute love story between a vampire & werewolf. The humour is completely cliché, but if you love all things spooky like I do, you’ll be charmed.

Fun little story, 20 min to read, cute. :D Easy, morbid sometimes but definitely cute.
I want more.

A delightfully quirky portrayal of a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf. No great depth of plot, but highly amusing and aesthetically appealing.

This is adorable. Fangs shows the love story of Elsie, a vampire, and Jimmy, a werewolf, as they fall in love.

I love that this starts from the very beginning of their relationship and then highlights small moments throughout their relationship. It was so many relatable moments during the course of a relationship that were then uniquely adapted with puns or vampire/ werewolf elements.

This is a super quick read but its exactly the vampire/ werewolf relationship I didn’t know I needed. I will absolutely be reading this again in October.

#Gifted I obtained this e-arc for free via netgelley in exchange for an honest review.

Jokes were a little predictable but a cute, quick read.

A cute and funny love story between a vampire and a werewolf.

A short read but a welcomed distraction from reality.

I liked the illustrations and humour and, once again, Sarah didn't disappoint.


Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC.

This was very sweet and completely won me over. It is done in the style of newspaper comics, which I didn't think I would like but it was actually pretty great. Each page is like a quick snapshot of their life. It is filled with cliches about vampires and werewolves but they take those tropes and make them into cute little jokes and moments. This will be perfect for teens who love the paranormal.

Jimmy is a werewolf and Elsie is a vampire. One night they meet at a club and soon they are dating, moving in together and falling in love. But what is life together like for a vampire/werewolf couple?

This is such a cute book. It is humorous, engaging and really entertaining. The artwork is fab with clear drawings, accomapnied by a quirky dialogue as we explore the love between this very odd couple.

I loved this and now I want a printed copy of my own. It is the kind of story that gives you fuzzy feelings even though the couple are not really fuzzy, cuddly characters. Jimmy might be fuzzy once a month but both of them bite!

The story telling is quite simple because this is a comic strip but it is hilarious as we see how the two of them love and live. One becomes a wolf and the other sleeps in a coffin. One chases after squirrels and the other is invisible in selfies etc. All these quirks and characteristics are brought together and portrayed through lovely artwork. A great gift for quirky friends and unlikely couples or for anyone who likes vampires or werewolves.

Are you a fan of Sarah's Scribbles? If so, then you should be checking out Sarah Anderson's latest piece of work; Fangs. First released on Tapas, it's the story of a vampire and a werewolf falling for each other and dating.

It is every bit as chaotic and entertaining as you might expect. Their entire relationship is told through a series of short panels. If you read the story on Tapas, you received segments on a regular basis. But if you're reading this collection, you get them all at once (along with several bonus panels).

Fangs is adorable and endearing in the best of ways. Fans of Sarah Scribbles will surely enjoy every moment of it – as will any new fans. Especially those that are fond of vampire and werewolves acting cute and irreverent.

This is a collection full of sweet moments – and dark humor. It's a perfect combination if you ask me, but then I've always been a fan of things like this. There are a lot of tongue in cheek moments – teasing at the expense of pop culture and the like. It's funny and entertaining. In short, it is everything that I was hoping to see from Sarah Anderson.

The artwork is different from Anderson's usual style. The characters could not, in any form, be described as scribbles. Now they're more accurately drawn, with better proportions and more details throughout. The choice to change styles here was a smart one, making her series distinct. It also suits the material better.

absolutely love this graphic novel not only is it funny but it's off so sweet. It is about a vampire woman and a werewolf man and their relationship.

"Elsie: Did you ever date another werewolf?
Jimmy: Yes, cute girl, but could turn into a real bitch.
Elsie: ...
Elsie: Clever

Jimmy: And did you ever date a vampire?
Elsie: Yeah!
Elsie: He sucked."

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel for providing me with an e-arc.

Elsie is a three hundred years old vampire and in all that time she has never met her match. Until one day, she meets Jimmy, a charming werewolf in a pub and makes an instant connection. Consisting of comics exploring their relationship with puns and humour that is "oh, so adorable!", 'Fangs' is a wholesome collection of comics about meeting someone best suited for you but also vastly different!

I cannot stress enough on how much I enjoyed this! The entire collection is such gem filled with humour and puns. Some are cheesy & cute and some are brilliant- either way, they had me laughing out loud. It was a heartwarmingly adorable read and I want more of Elsie and Jimmy! This read was so quick that I am deep in wells of despair because I didn't want it to end with Elsie and Jimmy. I don't think I will ever get enough of Elsie and Jimmy now that I have gotten a part of them.
I will be recommending this to everyone I know!

This a cute and cheeky collection of comics. Although most of the individual comics are based on cliches of vampires and werewolves, it will still give you a chuckle. I do wish the book was a bit longer and with a cohesive storyline rather than random comics on each page.

well the cover was so beautiful so i decided to downloaded it on a whim from Netgalley . i did not realize it was by sarah scribbles or should i say Sarah Andersen, she is the reason i'm in love with Graphic novels. It is a short and adorable love story between and Vampire and a Werewolf. short and sweet.

If you like graphic novels it is must. <3

"Fangs" is a super cute collection of short comics telling the love story of a vampire and a werewolf.
Each of the comics is usually on one page and told in 1-4 panels only, but in these litle pieces you get small glimpses into their lifes. The humor is macabre and a bit dark, and in its combination with the romance, it's hilarious. I love Sarah's Scribbles and can relate to most of them because of my own derpiness, so it's no wonder I enjoyed this as well. The art style is a bit different than the Scribbles, but I loved the more classic approach, as it fit the gothic/paranormal theme very well while still being adorable and fun.
I read it in one sitting and it didn't take long at all, but it very successfully made my smile and swoon and laugh. I don't really have a lot of criticism other than that the jokes or puns were a bit predictable sometimes, but that didn't bother me too much.
If you want to check out a few of the panels before committing to the whole book, you can check them out on Sarah Andersen's instagram page, that's where I found them first.

I completely loved this book. I can't express with words how funny and smart it is! This is such an amazing and refreshing way of talking about vampires and werewolves. Rating: 4/5 stars.

Elsie’s a vampire and Jimmy’s a werewolf and they’re girlfriend and boyfriend and hilarity ensues and waffle waffle…

Sarah Andersen moves away from her Sarah’s Scribbles gag strips to produce… basically the same thing albeit with less cartoony art and centred around vampire/werewolf tropes.

What’s your type? Elsie asks. Blood type that is!

… ugh…

Did you ever date another werewolf?
Yes, cute girl, but could turn into a real bitch.
And did you ever date a vampire?
Yeah! He sucked.

HAR DE HAR HAR!!1

Werewolves are like dogs - look, Jimmy hates the postman ‘cos he’s a werewolf and that’s like a dog and arhharhgh… He chases squirrels, she takes a selfie but she’s a vampire so she’s invisible. Sunlight, silver, blood… all the expected bullshit is here.

Your mileage will vary depending on your sense of humour but I found Fangs to be full of really obvious, predictable, unoriginal, unfunny, tedious, vapid, banal, and self-satisfied easy “jokes”. I was bored from start to finish but I can see plenty of people raving about her strips because they seem designed for the social media crowd who consider looking at Instagram “reading”.

If you thought her last Sarah’s Scribbles book was bad, Sarah Andersen hasn’t improved now that she’s decided to write for the Twilight crowd. Fangs but no fangs, Sarah.
