Strawberry Syrup
is a
slice-of-life urban fantasy webcomic by A. Meyer and N. Rollason. It centers on a
half-vampire named Samson Rosalez and his father Fernando, who was forced to raise him by himself after Sammy's trailer trash mother Josie dumped the baby on him and left.
Fifteen years later, the story follows Sammy's life at home and at school; feeding on his female classmates and being stalked by an aspiring vampire-slayer named Hunter Smith.
