Zombie Cliché Lookout:
What brings around a panicking person in a hurry? Well, aside from a smack in the face. Having a plan. If you can assure that person that things are going to be okay because you’ve got a rock solid plan to get everything back on track, odds are you can pull them out of their funk. The best part about this is, so long as you don’t get too specific on things, you can fake a good deal of the plan without them ever figuring it out.

  1. With Stewart’s stuborn teenage attitude, he’ll want to follow Murphy or form a rescue party! 😀

    And that will get them at least neck deep into zombie trouble! 😀

    • Or just shut down and hate everything, too. Perfectly teen-a-riffic, that.

      • I’ll be in the fire truck, being moody.

        • You’re not my real dad!

        • *decides to get a wrist tattoo*

        • What are you, Jesse Pinkman?

  2. I can see everything is finally getting to Stewart’s mind.
    He desperately needs to go through a controlled mental break down.

    • You aint livin till you do.

      • Hah!

    • Yeah, poor Stew is having trouble processing all the fun they’ve been having over the last few days. Bound to catch up sooner or later.

    • @ Calicade….Please go read my review of ZMagazine when you have time and pay attention to the last few paragraphs. I really think you should consider giving it a shot.

    • They’re not very fun to go through… and I can only imagine it’s not fun in a Zombie Apocalypse.

      • Did you see the John Hodgman interview which touched on apocalyptica on the AV Club? Fun stuff: http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-hodgman-part-one-the-global-superpocalypse,64718/

        • I haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet, but it’s definitely on my radar. Moreso now.

  3. Murphy is going to look for that “person” he was referring to a while back I think . . . Hopefully is someone awesome xD hopefully a sibling or spouse

    • Maybe so, maybe so.

  4. He’s on the verge of panic. he should go in the truck and let it out.

    • It’s too bad I don’t have his face with a teary smirk on it. C’est la vie.

      • “C’est la *AHEM* vie”

        😉

        • God.Damn. I do that every time.

  5. Hey guys, have you heard? LEGO Universe is FTT!

    • *for the trash

      • And LEGO DesignByMe too! I hope Lego is going to make up for this.

        • Did you play Universe? Never did try it myself, but I also haven’t been one for MMORPGs

        • I only played Free Play Trial, but planned to try it out for real in the Christmas holidays. I’m going to be online in Nimbus Station at the centre of the gardens at midnight 31st November, when it’s switched off forever. It’s going to be cool, because I’m sure everyone else has the same plan. It sounds like something from a book.
          ‘And so they united together, in that lit up place, and danced and cheered until the screen slowly faded to black.’ Heartbreaking. I can imagine folks who will be very upset over this.

        • UPDATE: Closure on January 31st, 2012. 82 days away.

        • Prepare the funeral dirge.

  6. Well, Murphy will be right back. It’s too soon to see him go… and if he does go, he needs to go down fighting in a horde of zombies. Not some quiet off the screen we just never see him again.

    • I think Murphy’s coming back too, although I haven’t really scripted that far in advance 🙂

  7. When we first met him, I was suspicious of Murf… like he wasn’t all there. I hope he is doing something useful and not something distructive.

    • We’ll see in a couple of weeks.

  8. I suppose Stewart is a bit of a pessimist, then! You can’t walk away for two minutes to take a pee break before he just assumes that you’ve probably died already!

    • Damn teenagers.

  9. Dave – I posted your interview on the news 6 site. THanks.

    • Outstanding!

      Everyone go read that.

    • link?

      • Boom: http://news6.thecomicseries.com/interviews/

        Scroll down until after the Dude Person. It’s pretty short.

        • hah…whats the matter Dave…were you on a words per question budget with responses? hahahah…..

        • God, it kind of seems like it, doesn’t it.

          At the time it seemed like there were more questions and answers, but it’s been a while.

        • Poor Monkey…so wronged by Dave….

  10. GODAMMIT I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! TAKE THE RIOT ZOMBIE’S SHIELD AND BATON >.<!!!!!
