Ask Hugo

Vincents very intelligent father answers your questions

Dear Hugo,

How come your arms are skin coloured but your face is blue?

Aaron H.

 

Heh, you must not be a mad scientist Aaron, Vat you are seeing is not my arms but my big yellow inpenetrable gloves, good for handling all sorts of dangerous chemicals, and zey are quite stylish, dont you think?
 
My face (and arms inside ze gloves) are blue due to ze state of ze vampiric biology. Some zink zat its because ve are cold skinned, but zat is not so. Our blood doesn't process oxygen so it wont turn red. Zis and high concentrations of ze element cobalt in our systems adds to our strong blue complexion
