Honor student Ghoulia Yelps knew at a young age that she was created to be DeadFast's number one fan.

"I picked up a copy of DeadFast #7 and I was hooked," Ghoulia explained as she sipped on her Coffin Bean coffinccino during our exclusive sit down interview. Her demeanor was unusually perky for the slow to thrill zombie, so I knew she was more than excited to talk about her biggest hero. "My mom has been purchasing the comic for me ever since I was young. I really do believe it was her nurturing that allowed me to explore my love not only of DeadFast, but of comic books in general."

Last year, Yelps was lucky enough to capture a coveted ticket to the dead-lightful San Diego Comic-Con, where she was able to explore her geek-chic roots among monsters and friends.

"Comic-Con was like no other," she gushed. Her coffee was pushed aside, her hands now occupied with doodling a picture of DeadFast on her napkin. "I'm uhhhn-believably excited to go again this year. Scarah and HooDude will be with me, front row at the Monster High panel, so I've been spending the past few weeks giving them tips about what to do, where to go and who to see while we're there."

Though not all of her friends will be able to make it down to SDCC, she assures that all will have an opportunity to stay tuned in to the latest Comic-Con news and gossip. “The Monster High administration is great about keeping student bodies informed of all the happenings at SDCC,” she said as she handed me her uhhh-mazing napkin doodle. "Would you like to keep this? I hope you like DeadFast as much as I do."

Who am I to pass up a Ghoulia Yelps original?

it's the tasteful cleavage. it's that top button holding on for dear life. it's the colour of his shirt bringing out his beautiful blue eyes. it's the muscle definition. the excellent shoulders-to-chest ratio. the rolled up sleeves. sorry that wasn't an actual question was it

They are soo cute! I wish there was more but the whole short is soooo good!

What makes this more frustrating is that in the promo for season 1 that they showed at the 2012 SDCC, the string came out of the right area on the bottle. Somehow it got messed up in the final cut of the episode!

Animation Error 146: During the whole scene while Mabel is spraying the string, it comes out of the wrong area of the bottle.

Jane Espenson writing the majority of Spike episodes where he shows positive character growth, the fact that Spike is the antithsis of Angel and that Joss Wheadon hated his popularity can not be by coincidence.

I know I'm connecting a lot of dots with this one (that have probably been connected before), but she quiet literally wrote the episode where he is reintroduced in season 4 with "Harsh Light of Day", where he becomes part of the Scoobies with "Pangs", "Doomed" and "A New Man".

Then later on in Season 5 saved his character with the masterful "Intervention" where in the same episode she writes Spike creating the sexbot he also shows his worth by being tortured (where we see him being penetrated) and not breaking.

In the season 6 episode she wrote "After Life" where we see Spike's trauma of Buffy dying and how he is literally the only Scoobie to be able to look after her after being resurrected, as he himself has gone through the trauma of dying then digging out of his own grave. Also in this episode we see that he has now taken the mantel of Dawn's supernatural protector, out of surviors guilt from the events of the season 5 finale, and then later on how those events have haunted him every night. Jane then wrote Spike to be the only person in Doublemeat Palace to offer Buffy a way out of working there.

Season 7 Jane co-wrote the highly acclaimed "Conversations with Dead People" then "Sleeper" and "First Date" where we see Spike's fall to The First and where he killed people, but also where we see how he has risen in Buffy's eye's to being trustworthy in "First Date".

With all this being said you can probably understand now why I'd say a lot of Spike nuance is credited to Jane Espenson. To quote James in the SDCC 2012 Buffy panel "Joss would come up to me about 3 episodes in to every season and say he has no idea what to do with me", so this meant the other writers (mostly Jane) to take over with writing Spike. So you can see why it's not too far fethced to say she is the reason behind his popularity as she set a lot of the ground work after s2, outside of James's himself giving a masterful preformance. Later on in the SDCC 2012 Buffy Panel she says "we knew we had this amazingly verstial character largely because we had this amazingly verstial actor, we knew whatever we put infront of James he could do..." this shows that she felt comfortable making Spike into whatever she wanted.

For my last point, there's a lot of examples here that the fandom loves to highlight Spike's being Angel's opposite, like how Spike's treament of a Minor having a crush on him compared to the soul having Angel's. Spike's complete polar opposite on how he see's love as something postive to protect, where as Angelus's use of love as a tool to torture someone with. William loved and respected women where as Liam only used the ones around him.

This all leads me to the conclusion that Spike was more popular than Angel mostly because of Jane's input and groundwork on the character after season 2, and we all know how Joss felt about Spike's popularity and there's no way Jane didn't make all his postive traits the opposite of Angel by coincidence.

Thank you Jane for creating what I believe to be one of the best characters in media history and for being the original Spike girlie.
