The person most responsible for my degenerate love of zombies would be George Romero, hands down.
The second person most responsible for my perverse obsession with the living dead, Michael Jackson. (This was back when he was a black man instead of a white woman… It was a crazy time)
You young people don’t understand. See when I was a boy and I was walking uphill both ways in the snow, naked, with a rabid badger gnawing my nether regions (That’s how it was, kid. Believe it) MTV had just barely been created and even more shockingly they had something called “Music Videos” on it.
Then one day the “King of Pop” put out a music video called “Thriller” with dancing zombies! And I stared slack jawed at the television every time it was on. To be fair I stared at the television a lot at the time. This was preinternet meme time! Literally the stone age. No really, my family rode dinosaurs around and smacked each other with clubs.
That probably explains a lot about me really… Wow I’m old. Thank Cthulhu I’m immature so it balances out.
…. Also in my zombie webcomic either the doctor is unaware of Michael Jackson’s untimely demise, doesn’t care, or realizes that much like Elvis the “King of Pop” is still alive somewhere.
ouch! cheap shot on a guy thats already dead… hehe… but MJ did say that after the nose job he was able to hit higher notes or something like that…
on another note, alot of fighters tend to get nose jobs to help them breath better through the nose, as to not leave their jaws hanging out for Ko’s…
I refuse to believe that Michael Jackson is dead. Nope, he’s probably living on an island right now with Elvis. I’m sure of it.
Nope, we snuck into the cemetary in the middle of the night and drove a wooden stake into his heart to make sure he stays dead.
Tsk Tsk, Van. That’s how you get rid of vampires not Zombies.
Sadly your efforts were in vain and Michael Jackson runs free. Next time don’t forget to destroy the brain.
If hours of playing Halo has taught me anything it’s that ,if you’re dealing with zombies, you should always destroy the whole body. If you only destroy the head they might still come back to try and kill you.
Apparently several people got permission to dissect his body, when they got to the tomb, the door was open from the inside (which should have been impossible as the design was a inwards opening door, not a outwards one, and was also locked with several layers of locking, not a outwards one) and both the corpse and his clothes were missing.
Damn you typo fairy! Ignore the “not a outwards one” sentence fragment after the lock part, i’m pretty sure I zoned out there.
Proof positive MJ’s on a beach somewhere.
neat bit of trivia. I’d think they got the nose jobs to fix all the broken ones they get through their careers.
Not the brightest of men, is he? Although I could totally see MJ hitting the scene again when the zombie apocalypse starts.
I’m telling you, man, somewhere on a remote island Michael Jackson, Elvis, and bigfoot are hanging out playing cards and drinking.
Loads of mad respect for MJ; I love his music, and his embrace of childhood, but I have to ask, seriously:
How do you tell the difference between Michael Jackson alive, and a Michael Jackson zombie? I mean, seriously; both of their noses fall off, both of them are emaciated, both of them have sunken eyes, both of them can do the Thriller…
How can a person tell the difference? Inquiring minds want to know!
Dude, you’ve got me. They are so similar it’s scary.
I love the spacial pause. It’s great.
Thanks, I knew there was no way this could be a three panel joke. I may do more of these larger comics. This was fun.
On the bright side, would a zombified version of Michael Jackson look any different than he did when he was alive? I mean come on, that skin palor never did look healthy.
It’s possible that MJ has been a zombie for years and his whole story about a “Skin condition” was all a front.
That would explain why his later music sucked.
I’m not sure if you’ve see this before. But I figure you might get a kick out of this.

I have seen that, how funny.
That’s what I call motivation to run though.
