Someone forgot to lock the back door.
No matter how awesome you think your zombie fortress is and how impregnable you think you’ve made it…. The Zombies will get in, and they will get you.
If it’s not the zombies themselves getting in, then your fellow survivors will inevitably do something stupid and boom… You’re all dead. Have you ever seen a zombie movie where something like this didn’t happen? Of course not, if something doesn’t go wrong there will be no conflict and therefore no story.
That’s why my zombie plan involves immediately locating the weak links in whatever group of survivors I find myself…. and quietly doing away with them. That’s merely self preservation.
“This place is a fortress after all”….led by morons.
I’m channeling some deep seated irritation with this comic. I am the only one in the family who thinks it’s super important to lock the door. My family thinks I’m nuts.
But a locked door is your first and best line of defense against a cold cruel world that’s waiting for the first sign of weakness from you before pouncing and rending your lifeless body limb from limb….
And my family thinks I’m crazy for insisting on a locked door… Pffft… whatever. I’m just being practical.
yep, A locked door will save your life, why keeping moron with you, just give them a job away from all door and chain them to make sure they do no stupid think like opening a door or trying to save someone
Every group of survivors will have it’s moron who will inevitably get everyone killed. Perfect example of this is George Romero’s “Day of the Dead” the moron guy goes crazy and lets the zombies into the military compound and gets everyone killed.
I would have smothered him in his sleep first before he got the chance, but that’s just me.
Would have just put a bullet in him
i thaught up of an mpregnable fortress and no matter how hard a zombie or human they wont get in unless you use a tank but zombies can`t drive so i`d be safe 🙂
But what if this particular strain of zombies were smart enough to use tanks. Then no place is safe….. We are all doomed.
Wait I thought we killed grandma and her dog
There’s always more people like her to go around.
Reminds me of Night of the Comet where they had a secure research facility. Somebody left the vents open so the comet dust got in and infected everyone.
Oh man I loved that movie, and not just because the main female character was kinda hot.
Zombie proof? Maybe. Idiot proof? Never. 😉
You can’t make it idiot proof or zombie proof as they will just create a better zombie or idiot… Possibly an idiot zombie. Then your screwed.
Did you see the last “Resident Evil” movie? They are completely secure in this building… until they create zombies who have no trouble burrowing through F’ING CONCRETE!
If you run across a zombie who can burrow through concrete, you should run.
To hell with running, I’d shoot myself there and then. It would be possible to make a zombie proof shelter as long as there aren’t any “special” zombies running around. However, it only takes one idiot to leave a door open or just in general do something incredibly stupid to screw it all up.(the old lady from Deadrising comes to mind)
I love that lady. I even made an early comic specifically about her.

I’ve seen that going around the intertubes today. Holy crap! Nice house. I would kill to own that house.
No, literally, where does that guy live? Because I own a shovel and a whole mess of plastic bags.
I have no idea. I would also kill to have that house. Have you ever seen the movie Snatch? Pigs are the way to go.
I have not seen that. Is it good?
I thought it was pretty good and I’m not much of a “guy” movie person. If you like Jason Statham you’ll probably like it. (But for the love of God don’t watch “In the Name of the King”.)
I like the look on the zombie’s face.
“Hmmph, somebody left the door open.” *Slurp Slurp*
He’s debating on whether or not he should close the door politely or possibly instigate a zombie invasion and subsequent bloodbath of truly epic proportions.
Decisions… sometimes life is hard.
As is death. Ba-dum-bump CRASH!
Yeah, you have to be careful not to save any strangers. That’s how it usually starts. They’ll stop screaming eventually.
Exactly! 🙂
Don’t forget that the concrete burrowing zombie is really smart too. I mean he can’t smell his target through all of that dirt and concrete, he can’t see them either. So he has obviously had to do the math (probably in his head, maybe with an Abacus, to figure out his line of approach. The other issue is that he also managed to make a straight hole and avoid the basement levels…Sigh… well at least Milla is there to make us over look the plot holes.

Plot holes? In a Resident Evil movie? This is madness I say!
But holy crap! I loves me my Milla Jovovovovovavishich. She is dang good looking. Nice links.
Hope you don’t mind me posting this, but i saw this house yesterday and seeing this comic the connection is there. At any rate it is the first zombie proof house. 1 foot of concrete that slides over all the windows and metal doors completly closing off the house from the outside. It even has a drawbridge.

Don’t worry, it’s fine. I’ve been sent this link about a dozen times so far. That is an amazing house. I think they should give it to me.
But remember it’s not the house you really need to worry. It’s always the people holed up with you that will be your downfall. Happens all the time.
If you eliminate every weak link then by logical deduction, you would value everybody else as weaker than you and hence you would have to not only fight the zombie horde but also the survivors
Actually I was thinking of devising some sort of “Common Sense” test to give out before letting anyone join my band of survivors.
If someone fails the test, I shoot them out of self preservation.
When zombies team up with poltergeists, then you’re really doomed!
“We sealed the door!”
“Something’s opening it!”
“Run like scared, fat rabbits!”
Poltergeist! Thank you! I need to see that movie again.
Poor Carol Ann. I wonder if that’s on Netflix.
