Flogging the Dead Horse - the Buffy Comics Issue 34 Poll & A Drabble

Yeah, I know everyone is sick of this by now, but indulge me. This is your way of stating your piece without having to write anything and making someone work to figure out what your opinion was. Also to see if you truly are in the minority.

Regarding the ships wars? I came up with a little drabble. Not to be outdone by Harmony, now that she's become super-buffy, Buffy has chosen to go on Harm's reality talk fest to set things right, once and for all.

Harmony: So, Buffy, curious vamps want to know - which vampire is it?? Which one is your one true love? Angel or Spike?

Buffy: Uh, who says I have to pick one? I mean - could you choose? Say it was between Christian Bale and Daniel Craig? And you could have both?

Harm (fans herself): You do have a point. I mean I've had my blondie bear and he's ...(she catches Buffy's glare and coughs), moving on. So, you can't pick between Daniel Craig and Christian Bale?

Buffy: Have you seen them...naked? I mean really? Daniel's all Mr. Bond, the hitman with that devilish snarky smile, and Christian ---that square jaw, those brooding eyes..

Harm: Let's put this another way - you know that game going around online? Who would you marry, shag, and throw off the cliff?

Buffy: Well, first - I don't ever plan on getting married, just so we're straight on that. I mean, really, come on, have you seen how many people I have to take care of? And look at what happened with my Mom? So over the whole marriage thing! And throwing off the cliff? I'd throw Angel - because he's super-human and could survive it, which I guess leaves shagging Spike? But then Angel could join in afterwards.

Harm: Okaaay...if Spike and Angel were cookies and you could have just one, which one would it be?

Buffy: If they were cookies? Did Angel tell you about my cookie dough speech because if he did he is sooo staked, and I'm not -

Harm: Cookie dough speech?

Buffy (blushing): Forget I said anything, you were uh saying?

Harmy: Forgotten. Out of curiousity what cookies would they be?

Buffy: Well Spike's definitely chocolate chip - because hello, chip! Get it! (Harm looks bewildered) Oh never mind. And Angel...a...snickerdoodle.

Harm: So you'd pick Spike.

Buffy: Again why couldn't I have both? I really don't get this whole choosing thing? I mean they are vamps, and they've been with each other and alll...you know, in that special way...

Harm: Ahhh...hem. Let's put this another way - which one do you love the most?

Buffy (thinks hard): I love them both?

Harm: The same way?

Buffy: No different, they are different. Don't be silly. Can't love them exactly the same.
But with same intensity? OOOH Yeah! I mean honestly, why choose? I love them both. There you have it from the proverbial slayer's mouth!

Harm: Well there you have it...straight from the...ahem, slayer's mouth!

So far, comics keep me curious. And - deeply confused. I'm not sure I understand the medium. There's a screenwriter's unofficial rule of adapting a book: make a 12-years old read it, ask him to recount the content and use only the elements he remembered. Sometimes I think that comics use the same rule.
