I’m hoping the next episode has the guy in white hitting the other guy for cursing them with “we’ll be safe here” type comment!
Hah, in real life, White Guy could knock Other Guy down with a feather!
Zombie Cliche Lookout: Food on the Shelves
Not a lot of people keep more than a few days’ worth of food stocked at home, unless you’re one of those people that buys industrial quantities of cans from wholesale stores. Lets say that the characters of this comic do that as a detail of the story.
Discussion Question: Looting
My favourite part of Zombie games? Looting. Not in the sense of throwing a brick through a shop window and running off with a new TV set, but more in the ‘acquiring food’ sense. Walking into a room, picking up neat little cans and boxes and eating them. However, in real life, I don’t think it would be as cool. Lets go forward to a post-apocalyptic world, where you’re finding some food. That dented can of beans you found in the trash? The bottle of grey water with a spider on it? That is your dinner for today. Do you think finding food could be as fun as it is in games?
I somehow registered what you said as “the spider on the bottle is your dinner”. Yark.
Reminds me of that scene in the “Twelve Monkeys” movie where Bruce Willis takes a spider in his mouth.. I can’t remember exactly why he did that though but the image stuck in my head.
I hate spiders. I’d just move the water bottle and hope it goes away. Just the notion that a spider sat on that bottle would make me consider leaving my only drink where I found it. Eating tinned food you found in the rubbish wouldn’t be too good either.
Don’t worry guys, I’m sure this sound comes from a poor bird that smashed on the window.
Yeeaaahh…
A bird…
I would have to weigh *very* carefully the pro of food against the possibility of food poisoning.
On a related topic, I think I have at least 3 months worth of food, easily, in my house. If it was winter and I didn’t lose the food in my freezer then it could be another 2-3 months worth. I would prefer to get up to a year’s supply at some point.
Make sure to use up the fridge/freezer goods first. When the power goes off, they will last up to two days inside a freezer. You can prolong this time by not leaving the fridge/freezer door open for longer than a few seconds. I learned that from a Hurricane Katrina safety booklet I had at one point.
Agreed. Some of the meats could be used in such a way so that they would then last longer. A smoker would come in handy.
What if it’s not actually zombies? And this is all a ruse?
