I’m getting so close to not having to draw those Groucho Marx disguises. I had no idea when I started this comic story arc that drawing that would annoy me so badly.
Plus I don’t know about you guys, but I’m tired of seeing Lovecraft’s Moobs. That guy needs a shirt. Okay I acknowledge that there may be some out there whole really would like to see some zombie moobs. Look I’m not here to judge you. If that’s your thing good on ya, but I just can’t draw it anymore.
Also moobs is a funny funny word when your a crazy sleep deprived.
It’s just my personal opinion, but I think Cthulhu and zombies are two great tastes that go great together. It’s like chocolate and peanut butter, only rotting flesh and eldritch elder beings of unfathomable evil. That’s close enough right?
I like doing the larger format of the comic, I wish I had the time to do it this way every time, but I still have to get faster. Originally I started this comic to get better at drawing, I hope that’s coming along. I like to flatter myself that the newer comics are better than the old ones.
I spent more time on this comic than I usually do. It had tentacles so I had to do it. Now I command you, LOVE ME. LOOOOOVVVEEEE MMMMEEEEEE!
But not in that slappy awkward way, I’m married.
We approach the end of the comic’s current story arc and as you can see from the comic above it is going to hit the fan. I am looking forward to the ridiculous over the top wanton destruction that will soon come to pass. It’ll be like one of my family reunions but with fewer nasty jello and yam deserts. Honestly Yams? Who eats that crap? Bleaaak!
You can blame H.P. Lovecraft for my love of horrible monster with Tentacles, they run a very close second to zombies on my list of things that I love. I’ve been looking for an excuse to mix Cthulhu Mythos monsters into my zombie comic for a while. Love them so much.
“Return of the Living Dead” is one of my all time favorite zombie movies. I never get tired of it and I’ve seen it at least once a year for about twenty years now. Holy crap I’m old. I’m excited to see this documentary on the film though. This looks really cool.
Now this is where I go off on a tangent.
Do you ever get tired of people asking you why do zombies eat brains? It’s because of “Return of the Living Dead” dang it!!! And it’s just worked it’s way into Pop Culture ideas of zombies ever since.
I can’t take it anymore so let’s answer some questions about “Return of the Living Dead” zombies, soon you’ll see they are nothing like the zombies from “Night of the Living Dead.” I pray this ends the debate. Right now I am currently debating this with three different people. I know I have no life.
These questions apply only to “ROTLD” zombies btw.
Q: Why do zombies eat brains? A: To stop the pain of being dead… It hurts to be dead. Apparently brains are the ultimate pain killer. This is straight from the zombie’s mouth (Literally)
Q: But if they eat brains, won’t that keep more zombies from being created. A: In “ROTLD” zombies are created by exposure to Trioxin 245 gas, not by being bitten by a zombie. Don’t worry it’s just Trioxin gas you have to worry about being exposed too… You can still eat that tasty bean burrito I know your craving right now…. mmmm burritos.
Q: Doesn’t a headshot kill a zombie? A: Not a “ROTLD” zombie. It doesn’t do jack. Nothing less than complete destruction of the body will stop the zombie, however, this has the tragic side effect of releasing more Trioxin in the air and causing more zombies. Your pretty much screwed.
Q: But aren’t zombies slow and stupid? A: Nope they’re pretty spry little buggers, they run, scream, have coherent conversations, and are capable of reasoning out how to kill you no matter where your hiding… And they are impossible to kill. Yeah! We’re still screwed.
Q: Zombiecarter, is it true that you are incredibly sexy and simply the manliest of all manly men? A: Yes
Q: Can I please have your love child? A: Hey! Look here, Pal. I’m the one doing the stalking in this relationship. Now If you’ll excuse me I’ll be in your bushes with my high powered binoculars… naked…again.
I love zombies… Oh yeah, in that really slappy way too.
But zombies don’t get the respect that other monsters seam too. Sure there’s the horrifying dread one feels when faced with a newly reanimated love one that Hell bent on devouring your tasty tasty brain, but in most games these guys get mowed down by the truckload.
In games like Dead Rising you can actually humiliate zombies in many amusing ways (Brings back a lot of highschool memories actually)
This always makes me sad and I always look forward to those rare gems of media where zombies take their rightful place as horrifying monster superior to vampires and werewolves.
Also today’s Sketch Comic brought to you by my occasional need to draw something serious.
Now before you get your fur suits in a wad let me state my position on furries.
I think we can all agree that a pretty girl who wants to wear fox ears and call herself a furry is a wonderful thing….. mmmmmm wonderful thing. (Sorry I got distracted)
But let’s be honest people while doing “Research” about furries through Google images, I saw things… things that cannot be unseen.
I’m entirely willing to embrace the entirety of geek/nerd culture which furries are a part of, but if you want to dress up as a Pig with a massive head and an even bigger massive fur “wang” you can expect to take a little good natures ribbing. (Yes I saw that guy)
The question is did Lovecraft provide Moon that dress or was that one of his?
Also in case your wondering why Moon makes the perfect bait, it’s because he’s delicious.
I’m so happy to have a comic up today. So far everything is working out great with the new server. My webcomic hasn’t crashed and exploded taking hundreds of innocents with it and I’m pretty sure it’s actually faster than it used to be.
If I was Charlie Sheen I’d be saying “Winning” I would also probably be stoned and covered in hookers and cold sores.
