The plot thickens, I’d write more about today’s comic, but holy crap it’s late, and I’ve been working on the roof so I’m…. Itchy, smelly, cranky… Kinda like a zombie myself (Only I’m devastatingly handsome and have fewer flies crawling over me).
Also since I got my pen back this comic took way less time to draw in illustrator. That fills me with joy.
…I lied. I have more flies.
Win! XD
Damn, a zombie kegger would be bloody awesome!
Again with the zombology questions; could a zombie get drunk?
Actually I’m pretty sure that the Lovecraft character is a raging alcoholic and in desperate need of an intervention.
Sadly as he’s a zombie now, nobody really cares if he falls apart. He’ll just use superglue to put himself back together anyway.
As for whether or not a zombie could actually get drunk… In this comic, yes.
If Twilight Vampires can sparkle in the sun, I should be able to get my zombie liquored up.
I think zombies would be able to get drunk, depending on the type of zombie that is. Which leads to another good question. If a completely dead body is reanimated through whatever means. All the organs and what not is dead and the only thing really keeping it going are the electrical impulses generated by…whatever. Getting drunk is basicly the side effect of this impulses getting F’d with. If the brain is “dead”, but still generates electrical impulses…does it care that it’s getting alcahol? If so does it need even more then usual to have the desired effect? This is also assuming that the impulses are still letting the alcohol get broke down and entered into the blood stream and blah blah blah
If it were a story I think it would all depend on how much of the biological processes the author decided to keep going. It’s very arbitrary and depends on how seriously the author would want to go into describing their version of zombiism.
Take vampires for instance. I’ve seen stories where vampires can get completely plastered, and others where the author says they can drink ONLY blood and never get drunk, I even saw one silly version where they glittered and mooned over an emo chick. Why? Because there are no real rules when your making up a story about a fictional being.
I could for instance write a story about zombies where Alcohol causes the zombie apocalypse and the zombies are constantly searching for more booze and don’t care about eating people.
My point is… That a wizard did it.
Haha, my personal concern would be if Lovecraft can even retain water. Not much use discussing getting drunk if it goes right through him literally.
And if I had to make a guess, I might think that booze of certain kinds would actually help keep a zombie together acting as a preservative basically. Pickling if you would. Hell mummies do it and aren’t mummies just magical bandage wrapped zombies beneath the history behind them?
Lovecraft is one lucky and smart zombie. Think about it, he finds a dollar, doges a bullet, and gets beer.
oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, Story wise anything is really possible. I was just being technical.
I played a vampire RPG that if you fed off of somebody that was drunk, high, adrenaline rushed, or whatever. You ended up with whatever properties was going through them.
You couldn’t get any blood born diseases….but you could have an LSD trip
Besides we all know it wasn’t the wizard…it was fighter…wizard just needs food…badly
Wizard does need food badly… Holy crap I miss that game.
Also how did I miss that, Lovecraft is having way too much luck for that character… I’m going to have to do something unpleasant to him soon.
I’d hate for him to be…. uggg… happy.
it’s a fake dollar and light beer?
Oh, I know what you could do. Have him think that he keeps seeing his ex wife and go into complete paranoia mode. That would be most… unpleasant.(insert evil laugh here) Besides, his happiness never lasts long anyway. Anyone remember the new zombie taxes and whatnot?
I couldn’t be that mean. I have an ex-wife if I kept seeing that crazy woman around, I’d skip past paranoia and just shoot myself. (Shudder at even the thought of that crazy woman)
Hmmmm, good point. Oh well, I’m sure you’ll think of something dasterdly to do to him.
