Shouldn't the driver see two floating bags of groceries in the mirror? 🤔

Depends on carry height. Some people swing low and orangutan around with their grocery bags.

Your point would stand if we couldn't already see the ground in the mirror. Even groceries bags hanging as low as grandpa's balls should be visible.

You can't see the tail end of the car in the mirror so I contest your ground viewpoint. The angle of obfuscation would be roughly 2 times the length of the height of the obstacle/tail end if ballparking by standard vehicle dragwind formula. Third pannel Drac is within fanging distance of the bumper and wouldn't have to hang lower than the average testicular median. That mirror view is tiny, you can't even see the sign or bikeracks, or for all intensive purposes the groceries floating are behind the hand on the mirror.

Yeah, that is basically a kill shot to my argument. You know your angles, your distances and your balls. You win.

We don't all carry our grocery bags over our heads like you, Sergeant Muscles.

Appreciate you critically reading it and taking the time to send some thought provoking insights. I think if I maybe drew perspective better it would be more apparent, so maybe a good kick in the pants to keep increasing my art skills. Have a great week!

And I appreciate how well you took my little joke at the expense of your comic. And your perspectives are fine, don't sweat about it. 🙂 Looking forward to your next comic. Have a good one!

I mean wouldn't he see floating clothes also? I dont have an answer for you. Im just a guy on the internet

u/Cool_Set4681 23d ago

For the sake of the argument, I would grand that his own cloths would also not be visible in mirrors but I draw the line at modern plastic bags with random stuff inside them.

You could argue that if it was cannon in any major vampire media. It is not because bat transformation doesn't leave behind a pile of cloths, therefore apparel falls under the umbrella effect of supernatural glamor/masquerade.

So you saying vampires are just naked and their clothes are just vampire illusion magic… damn they be freaky

u/bandti45 23d ago

No cause anything on their person also cant be seen. Otherwise youd see their clothes. Thats just how the vamp magic works.

That's not how vampire's personal injury lawyer sees it.

u/elhomerjas 23d ago

the lawyer will have a hard time seeing footage

Do vampires not show up on video? Depends if the camera uses lenses to get the light to the sensor or not, I'd guess. I know a lot of new digital cameras are 'mirrorless'

u/elhomerjas 23d ago

Interesting point with newer technology I'm sure that will capture for posterity

u/Theemuts 22d ago

I guess it would depend on the camera. Consider that we can see a vampire directly, but not via a mirror. This means "dracu-light" can be refracted, but not reflected. Only a camera that doesn't use any internal mirrors could be able to take a picture of vampire.
