Misc. News:
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday (in the US anyway) there will be no Bonus Features comic this week. We’re back on schedule next week. I know this bums a lot of you out, especially when you still have to go to work and school. Sorry.

  1. Nice, first comment. Wonder if he’ll get any clothes.

    • I think I like how uncomfortable mostly naked Sam makes everyone. He’ll probably just run around in his underpants from now on.

      • He is truly the kind of no pants!

        • Argh… I meant “king.”

  2. I love your strip. It’s awesome.

    • Thank you kindly!

  3. … Two… One… NOW!

    Hm, nothing…
    Come on, I wanna know! 😀 😉

    • Hah, never works, does it?

  4. Sam’s probably going to spill the beans about the fact that there’s other people out there. Who are friends of his. And it sounds like this lot who’ve captured him certainly would consider doing something about them, whether it’s a good or bad thing remains to be seen! 😀

    • Or maybe he already has.

  5. What is up with the sock and bucket

    • I’m going to leave that to everyone’s imagination.

      • And what will he do with only one sock? Heh, that reminds me of the old rant, “How come you can buy 10 hot dogs but only 8 buns?!” 🙂

  6. Every time I look at Sam I think of the “Beach Trooper” in the Lego Star Wars game. Best character in the game! lol

    So far the captors don’t really sound menacing. Am I missing something?

    • As far as whether you’re missing anything, we’ll find out soon.

    • Yeah, I get the same feeling… I am even a bit disappointed that they have not yet started chewing on a leg or something.
      But I have faith in Dave, I’m sure it will get ugly soon.

      • Boy, everyone is so negative about these mysterious strangers who have stripped Sam down to his underpants and locked him in a creepy room with nothing but a dirty sock and a bucket.

        • Weird how that happens, eh? How embarrassed will y’all be when you find out that he’s rushing a post-apocalyptic fraternity and this is just the first stage of the hazing!

  7. I guess we know Sam isn’t a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan.

    • Do I wanna know how we know that because I don’t? Anybody play MW3 y3t? It’s a lot of fun. If you have it for Xbox360 tell me in a comment.

      • No. In fact I highly suggest against doing a google image search for “Red Hot Chili Peppers Sock” especially if you’re on a work computer.

        • I’m going to take that advice.

        • I double dare you. Hell, hit the “I’m feeling lucky” button while you’re at it.

      • Because he’s wearing black underwear instead of white? Just spit balling here.

      • @guy- Bren926

        @zombiemutts- I don’t get it, unfortunately.

        • haha…ok….there is an old band called the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Guys have been around since the early 80’s and still play today. For some reason they randomly play concerts naked except for one tube sock (like the one in frame 1) covering their wieners.

    • Nobody gets this?

      I lay out comedy gold and it fizzles so badly….

      🙁

      • Sad trombone.

        • son….I am dissapoint

      • oooooo!!! I get it and I was dying!

        • *bows*

  8. That’s not a sock…THAT’S A ZOMBIE SOCK!!!

    I was thinking Sam’s next line was going to be, Where are my clothes? But alas, I guess it’s not to be…

    • Yeah, if I were Sam, I sure would wonder why the hell am I naked ?! 😀

      Oh, hey! Maybe the “Wait a minute…” isn’t an intro for a flashback, but for the awkward moment when he realizes: “…Where’s my clothes?”

      • Don’t worry, Sam is definitely going to want an explanation for his sudden nakedness… or will he?

        • Don’t give me that ! >:L

        • I’m sure I’d inquire about why they would take my clothes.

        • I didn’t know mugs wore clothes :/

  9. Awww…. but I could see a Thanksgiving BoTD strip with a cage full of zombies and tossing in a couple live turkeys for them.

    • Hah. I do have one of those turkey pieces.

  10. Its the secret science agency people that always end up in the sci fi/ zombie stories xD

  11. I bet that door’s unlocked, looks like it with the way that piece leaves a nice gap big enough for a minifig hand to slip through! 😀

  12. Hooray for flashbacks! I can’t wait. 😉

  13. Hey lol you coulda given him a better chest piece lolz 😉

    • Its clear he was a man of leisure before the apocalypse.

    • From Sam’s bio: A mid-forties software developer, (…)
      What would you expect? 😉 😀

      And the “chest piece” is epic 😀 It’s hilarious, makes me laugh everytime I look at it 😀

  14. Hey, it’s the bucket! It’s like the mug’s dad. :O Maybe he’s here to avenge his son! Or maybe Sam’s savior is the Mug!! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA! ALLELUIA!

  15. Completely off topic but… will BotD be at the webcomic con? I love your advertisers btw.

    • Hah, BotD doesn’t have the budget for a convention visit, unfortunately.

      • But would love to send someone there and is always open to sponsorships with generous advertising space in return. Such inquiries can be made at either [email protected] or [email protected].

        Isn’t that right, Dave.

        • Damn straight.

    • too bad ’cause your guys rock. maybe next year. lol

  16. Awww sam’s a chunky monkey xP 😀 Adorable!

  17. Panel 2: ‘That’s all you “where” you need to know.’

    • Fixed!
