Another help-me-find-a-comic question. Ridiculous vampire hunters.

A group of vampire hunters are talking about how Dracula is going to be sorry when they catch him. One lady has apparently fixated on the idea of doing something uncomfortable to him in the crotch region, and keeps saying that they're going to "get up in his AREAS".
The 'get up in his areas' line is practically the only thing I remember about the strip. It was just absurd humor with vampire hunters saying uncharacteristic and goofy things. I don't think there was really a story; I think it was kind of a one-off that was only a few pages long, though it may be that I just didn't see all of it. I have a feeling it was drawn fairly loosely and cartoonily, and it may have been black and white. It was kinda like "Kate Beaton on an off day draws Van Helsing with crotch jokes," that's the High Concept. It's not particularly high. I saw it several years ago and have been annoyed at not being able to find it again. Possibly a long shot, but thanks if anybody knows what and where this is.

Response by poster: I'll be damned! That's it, and in less than half an hour. Thanks very much!

It's really hard to find these days, but here is the first part.

Response by poster: Awesome--thanks! I wasn't sure whether I should extend my question with another question--but even knowing the author's name and the correct name of the comic, I STILL couldn't find it in a readable form.

Ha! That part one was hilarious! After some poking around with the Wayback Machine, I found every issue on the author's defunct website: Abhay Khosla’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula : Index Page

Reading through the rest, this is like a crazy mashup of Venture Bros and Archer.

Also, because I'm bored at work, I compiled a CBZ file for easy reading: linky link
