Oh dear, poor Francis.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:18 pm
he really is a whiny little bitch
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:18 pm
So, WLB had a crush on April’s grandma?
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:25 pm
Oh dear, zombie angst.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:26 pm
Talk about rebound…
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:27 pm
o.o
Dirty.
but val sure is(was…)a player.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Oh boo hoo, she got burned in love, so he goes and wipes out 99.999% of humanity? AFP was right… Whiney Little Bitch.
Love this comic. Keep it coming!!!
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:36 pm
Krasno:
Yeah, it’s likely he loved Sullivan’s wfe and he’s been brooding because Sullivan got the girl and not him.. Just one more reason to kill the world I guess.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:38 pm
WLB appears to want to give a new definition to ‘necrophilia’ >_>
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:39 pm
“he’s been brooding because Sullivan got the girl and not him.”
And then the girl that changes you forever, turns you into the thing you DESPISE and started a secret society to KILL, leaves you because she falls in love with him too. Ouch. Bye bye, Earth, nice knowing you.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:45 pm
he really is a whiny little bitch
I was thinking the exact same thing.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Never posted a comment before, but I had to say something. Love how that girl vampire is seeing the moment to get staked, and have no torture and tries to go for it.
Wish I coulda seen her face when he pretty much said ‘Nope.’ And Francis can display alot of great emotions… For being patrially rotted.
Great comic, keep up the good work both of you! ~!~
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Sorry, that should be “he got burned in love”
Later,
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:54 pm
I was just going through the archives and some things don’t add up. First off, AFP knew who TFZ was, and yet he told April that she was his grand daugther a few pages back (and that he would not stop because of it). Was that just a mistake or no?
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:00 pm
As usual, the ultimate driving force behind a villain… the rejection of a woman.
A plot as old as the world
I liked this chapter – it shows Francis’s human side (not completely lost, even after he became a vampire and a schaemiac…).
Well done, Bobby!
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:04 pm
two post in little time! nice one! well, I think he is in love with sullivan’s wife AKA april’s grandma
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:07 pm
“AFP knew who TFZ was, and yet he told April that she was his grand daugther a few pages back”
No, he most definitely did not do that, as I’ve said a million times now. He said what THEY THOUGHT, he asked about THEIR THINKING, THEIR PLAN. He was also in a big hurry and did not want to waste time talking about that. Also, as you’ll see in a few pages, one of the First Zombies is April’s grandpa, so technically nothing Addison said was even incorrect, but it couldn’t be in any way, since he was only referring to what MATH THOUGHT.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Poor Prissy, someone stake her already!!
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:30 pm
oooh! scandal! Nice page as usual!
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Francis destroys the world for love…. well what logic do you expect from someone who thinks death and decay is a solution?
I SAY KILL HIM AND LET HIM ROT!
…. ok, thats already done, we need a better plan.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:35 pm
Justin, he already is rotting. He is a fuscking zombie.
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:39 pm
Eh, you’d think a rebound would be a few German hookers, but I guess Francis was more bent on EVERY human being his rebound army… I guess thats what happens when you stew for too long….
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:42 pm
Hey, don’t mess up with hookers, they are just making a living by loving! (?)
XD ROFL
November 23rd, 2007 at 5:48 pm
i just started reading this awesomme story,and applaud you on your creativity in both content,marketing,and delivery of the story.
A few quick things that im sure uve answered before but i missed.
1- R these vampires affected by sunlight(i dont think ive seen the sun in the comic), or garlic
2- Do vampires need blood to live , or is it like a psychological additiction( its not a stupid question, i know they need blood but they obviously dont die without it.) SO if TFZ had blood would he start to regenerate?
3- R these vampires magical in origin , like anne rice’s one, or more science oriented, like blade’s?
thx
keep up the good work
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:03 pm
I’m assuming Francis was married? Murdo does have his surname.
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:06 pm
“1- R these vampires affected by sunlight(i dont think ive seen the sun in the comic), or garlic”
This is mentioned early on in the comic, Math makes it clear they have no problem with sun or garlic.
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:08 pm
JUST READ THE GREAT FAQ THAT ANKO MADE!
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:14 pm
I love the vamp in panel one’s attempt to get staked.
I’d have to guess with dialogue that Murdo is going to have his ‘Oh my god, I did a girl who did my grandfather’ moment rather soon. That should be fairly amusing.
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:55 pm
Creeepy. The zombie is like “You look just like her” to April, and she’s like
“Dude, you’re really REALLY old…and dead…and decaying. No thank you.”
That’s just gross Mr. Zombie
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Gets even grosser on the next page.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:02 pm
man,what a whiny little b*tch. betcha he’s gonna try to seduce april next *shudders,then burns eyes*
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:03 pm
“Gets even grosser on the next page.”
I wish you were my dad.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Y’know, knowing that Val told Math the same thing as she told WLB makes Math just that much better. Yay character foils. And lesson girls: don’t go for the emo ones. WLB even looks like he has (partially decayed) emo hair. Heehee.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Hey been reading this for a while now is by far my favourite comic cant wait till it makes it as a movie
Theres been a few people commenting on Owens art through the comments and i thort id toss my own compliment in. Now I might be wrong but in panel five it looks to me like Francis is both angry and sad all at the same time which is just freaking awesome. like i said i dont know if it was intentional and if he should just be showing rage but the mixture of hate of Sullivan and sadness at being turned into zombie/rejected/other seems appropriate to me
Awesome Job Owen and keep up the great work the two of you
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:41 pm
I’m on Francis’ side as far as the staking Val thing goes.
What a huge bitch.
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:53 pm
This is a great series of comics.
I discovered them and read about to page 90 in 1 night. I catch up once a week. I am interested in how this story goes from here considering the good guys pretty much lost. I’m thinking WLB will trade the potential future of humanity in exchange for April. I still think the WLB looks kind of wimpy and nerdy even though he is pretty twisted.
Keep up the good work, I’ll be checking back in to catch up in a week!
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:55 pm
“I’m on Francis’ side as far as the staking Val thing goes. What a huge bitch.”
It was actually showing compassion (partly) to stake her, though — saving her from 65 years of torture. He says because he remembered that she was the only one to ever recognize his brilliance, so he spared her the torture. But I’m sure part of it was also that he just couldn’t wait 65 years before shoving a stake through her evil heart. He’s also probably lying about never loving her.
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:20 pm
At the risk of repeating everyone… man, what a whiny little bitch.
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:41 pm
You know what would have prevented all of this? A Vietnamese hooker.
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:43 pm
“Gets even grosser on the next page”
let me guess…. he tries to kiss her or at least he fondles her
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:45 pm
so, she recognized his brilliance did she , a wandering female who finds the next man to latch on to having dumped the last person she said was to be her one and final only one for her ,talk about your romance novel educated wlb boy there ….mathison got the same treatment and it looks like it was fine with her leaving and “just being friends” .. .. looking real bad there real bad for the rest of the humans ,having removed the most dangerous and the most “evil” heart breaking vampires of the group
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Damn! What a good comic! I find it funny how Francis monologues them all and such… But I have a question… What even happened to Payne’s suitcase? He didn’t use it for anything, so is it like a bomb or something lol?
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:48 pm
It will be opened and its contents will be used before the comic is over, as I’ve said many times.
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Francis’ motivation actually makes a lot of sense to me. People do crazy things for love, or in this case, BECAUSE of love. I can almost feel a little bit of sympathy for him. Almost. (Must keep in mind he wiped out 99.9 percent of the population and killed Addison Fucking Payne.)
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:32 pm
I now look arond my school for people who are Francian(Francish? Francisish? Francis-like?)
So far I’ve found three… and that scares me
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:43 pm
Addison shouldn’t die. Think about all the story that he can be involved in or the sequals you can make regarding him.
I am not doing this, because i am some AP fanboy, but because i really do think he has even more potential as a character.
However on the other side him dying is kinda need. Having just Val die is not as dramatic I guess.
Sullivan arrives 105/106?
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:47 pm
There are many reasons why Addison has to die, especially the ending of the first GN — just plain does not work in any way if he’s alive. Makes multiple things better too.
See Sullivan for the first time on 107 hopefully (hopefully not 108 or I’ll cry).
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Wait a minute, if it gets really gross and he kisses her… wouldn’t he effectively turn her into a zombie twenty four hours later?
November 23rd, 2007 at 9:54 pm
As has been discussed a million times, only bites make zombies.
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:00 pm
I hope that Francis brushed his teeth like you said, Bobby, or Alice is gonna puke again.
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:01 pm
I don’t know why I said Alice instead of April. I always mix up names.
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:03 pm
WLB/TFZ II/Francis + Microphone = Conner oberst
=P look at teh hair
Bright Eyes: It seems cut myself too hard while whining about a girl not liking me Album
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:46 pm
Oh, GROSS. I really hope he doesn’t kiss her, I REALLY HOPE he doesn’t kiss her…I’d stake myself right there, vampire or not, fuck the rest of humanity, jeez.
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:51 pm
No kissing. Not a single kiss in the entire graphic novel.
EDIT: Well, not on the lips at least.
November 23rd, 2007 at 11:36 pm
ohthankgod
November 24th, 2007 at 12:09 am
I wonder what TFZ would do for 65 years waiting for them to finish their torture? checkers anyone?
November 24th, 2007 at 12:20 am
I would play Army men with the billions of undead puppets I have.
On the otherhand what would be the gameplan after they become zombies them selves? Just kill them and wrap it all up? Or maybe Zombies in Space! the invasion of Mars. Just find the zombies from NASA and you’re set.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:25 am
I see Morman advertising at the top of this page. That amuses me to great extent. I mean first Space Jesus now Zombie Jesus. I cant wait for the pamphlets,
November 24th, 2007 at 12:46 am
What is he gonna do after he gets the vampires imprisoned and kills all the humans(no spoilers):)
November 24th, 2007 at 12:49 am
He’s gonna eat two cheeseburgers and call it a day.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:59 am
Oh God, please… please don’t tell me………… ugh, I’ll ask you about it later, Bobby.
November 24th, 2007 at 1:03 am
Well… As others said before me. He IS whiny little bitch… A fucking big one…
November 24th, 2007 at 1:10 am
Cool, I have been reading this since page 4 was released. I really wish the movie comes to fruition. I never really felt the need to leave a comment before buy when I read about the poker tournament (which is a awesome idea) I thought why not. I was an avid +EV reader but now Last Blood takes all my time
its the first site I check for updates now….
November 24th, 2007 at 1:36 am
All they really need is a purple penguin, and WLB would cease to exist. (The link will explain all.)

And also… what I think someone should give WLB for all those birthdays and christmases that he missed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nRNYG_xM2U
Somebody needs to cry a river, build a bridge, and get the hell over it already.
November 24th, 2007 at 2:11 am
if only we had been armed with purple penguins in the first place..
OH WHY!?!!?
November 24th, 2007 at 2:21 am
dangit Bobby, stop alluding to TFZ’s inevitable demise! Why does everyone hate him? He rocks all kinds of socks off. I mean really: wiping out all (most) human life on earth over being ditched? Thats not whiny, it takes a real arsehole to do that! Addison got what was coming to him.
November 24th, 2007 at 2:32 am
Hmm, couple of comments.
First of all, TFZ doesnt seem that whiney to me. Vindictive and bitter, hell yes, but whiney people tend to be short on action, big on the crying, and just dont look to be the type that would suffer 65 years of excruciating torture just to get their own back. that kind of thing takes an awful lot of rage. Looks to me that he got super upset, and went waaaay over the top in getting his own back.
You gotta admit, destroying the world as an act of revenge really does have style, but then he has to go blow the whole thing by not killing the remaining humans and monologuing instead. Typical newbie villain mistake.
Oh, and if a movie comes out of this, you might want to take into account that the sense of smell is non directional. Have the guys walk around while having a sniff so thay can triangulate things by how much stronger/weaker the scents are at places and get accurate direction and distance estimates. Its the little details that matter
November 24th, 2007 at 2:43 am
Wait, you write +ev too? Wow, you’re awesome. I discovered (and read the complete archives of) +ev a little over a month ago. Did the same for Last Blood a couple days ago when a friend linked me to it. I must give you massive kudos, I don’t think many people could write a kick-ass poker comic and a kick-ass zombie comic.
November 24th, 2007 at 3:36 am
Now try “Marry Me”! Romantic comedy too!
November 24th, 2007 at 4:07 am
I’ve been reading “Marry Me” for a couple of days.
Favorite moment so far – “Wait, did I forget to stop peeing?”
November 24th, 2007 at 4:58 am
Whiney little bitch is right!!
*sigh* I already miss Val… lol..
great comic, just started reading it.. well.. today, lol, and now I can’t wait for more :\ keep it up… and bring back Val… lol
*plot Device* her dieing and most of this was all a flash in her head while she is planning to escape from the chains.. HAH… ya… umm… ya, just go with it.. lol

“I now look arond my school for people who are Francian(Francish? Francisish? Francis-like?) So far I’ve found three… and that scares me”
I have one as my classmate. It’s really freaky.
November 24th, 2007 at 5:38 am
You know I’d feel sorry for TFZ if he hadn’t gone and destroyed all of humanity and everything. Well most of it. XD I dunno about April but after that little revelation I would be way creeped out! LOL
November 24th, 2007 at 6:31 am
“You gotta admit, destroying the world as an act of revenge really does have style, but then he has to go blow the whole thing by not killing the remaining humans and monologuing instead. Typical newbie villain mistake.”
Disagree completely.
Look at what he just did. He killed AFP. Francis knew AP was forming a plan or something of that nature and immediately dispatched of him. He didn’t even think twice and killed the most brilliant creature on the planet. That shows smarts. Also the part of taking over the world in less than a month with retarded things that move at a snails pace unless you order them otherwise is impressive.
He is all powerful and as a plus has billions of zombies. There is nobody in the world to stop him at all. According to him and almost completely true, nobody can touch him now, because the one thing, AP, that could hurt him he killed.
Imagine it this way. You are a world champion in Muay Thai and you are in a room filled with 3rd graders that want to hurt you. One of them has a knife and you instantly break his spine. Do you honestly think the others pose a threat?
November 24th, 2007 at 7:07 am
hey, im just gonna say im really impressed by the artwork.. its pretty amazing how much emotion your managing to get out of a half-decayed face… keep up the good work
November 24th, 2007 at 7:43 am
Dan, killing AFP was sensible, true, but he has been standing around in there with the last humans on the planet (The only things that can keep the vampires from this horrible torture he wants to inflict on them), and all he has to do to cement that victory is to let his zombies chow down, which he stopped them from doing earlier. He can gloat to the vampires AFTER his victory is assured, and by doing so he crushes their spirits completely and extinguishes all hope for salvation.
Almost every single villain in movies and comics has, at some point, thought that there was absolutely no way they could be defeated. In this case, keeping the humans alive serves absolutely no purpose, as its the Vampires he wants to hurt, the humans are a means to an end. He has all the Vampires in chains, or laying with a smoking hole in their chest on the floor, there is no point in keeping the humans around, thus it is only prudent that the last remaining humans be bitten/decapitated/cruelly slain before the vampires, so as to assure victory.
Face it, its quite possible to do everything brilliantly, then fuck up the endgame. This is something Francis is busily doing right now. Its completely believable that he would do this though, its just not terribly smart.
“Imagine it this way. You are a world champion in Muay Thai and you are in a room filled with 3rd graders that want to hurt you. One of them has a knife and you instantly break his spine. Do you honestly think the others pose a threat?”
Thats why im not allowed things such as superweapons 
No, i wouldnt consider them a threat, but that wouldnt stop me from doing them in, just in case
November 24th, 2007 at 7:44 am
WLB is so emo.
Nice Panel 2, first full view of the skull side of WLB’s face.
When Math says -She told me the same thing- i expected more dialogue bubbles coming from the rest of vampires saying
-Hey, she said to me too
-And me
-me too
-I fucked her too!
-What a bitch!

I guess WLBZ is a “tragic villain”. I still say rage should get tortured. Just because he’s been absent lately, and needs a little fun.

Probably he would play D&D with Stephen Zombie Hawkings.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:49 am
I love it, destroying the world to get back at the woman who killed you and then broke your heart. Of course, with the replacement…things could get bad.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:05 am
Yea I find it great how all the characters have motive behind what their doing, its not one of those completely good vs evil things, its more of one side vs the other.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:49 am
We’ve already been told that a human is going to kill a vampire. It will also clear up the fact that the stake gets white hot cause that human is gonna get their skin burned on their hands.
I’ve got 20 in the pot that says Francis comes onto April and she stakes him.
November 24th, 2007 at 11:39 am
This has probably been asked before, but does a schaemiac need to feed like a vampire, or is biting a human purely by choice?
November 24th, 2007 at 11:44 am
Sorry to double post, but did WLB and Aprils grandma have an affair, or is someone else the great granddaughter? (methinks the latter)
November 24th, 2007 at 11:48 am
OMFG!! APRIL! GT OUT OF THERE NOW! THIS GUY COUL TRY TO DO SOMETHING VERY BAD TO YOU!! I MEAN IT! GET OUT NOW!

You owned my laughter xD
November 24th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Most important question ever!!
Where’d the doggy go? I hope he saves the day
November 24th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Does Francis realise how ironic it is that, when he was young, he formed a secret society and dug a tunnel in order to protect his town against vampires, and now vampires are trying (and currently failing miserably) to protect the people of his town, who are the last living people in earth, against him?
“Also, vampires die from any piece of wood going through their heart, through one side and out the other”
Dang. I was hoping they were going to kill Francis by cutting out his heart and playing baseball with it (with a wooden bat). Finally, one of the most useless sports in the world could be used for something productive.
At risk of being accused of wasting time with more idle speculatulation, if a peice of wood is stabbed deep into a vampire’s heart, but does not go completly through to the other side, what will this do to the vampire? If two pieces of wood are shoved in, one from each side, and they meet in the middle, what will this do to the vampire? What if a stake is made out of a substance which contains tiny bits of wood, such as fiberboard? What if it is made from plywood? If I were to build a chainsaw with wooden blades, and drove this into a vampire’s chest, what would happen? Could a vampire surgically implant metal plates arround their heart?
Yes, in case anyone is wondering, I do like picking at loopholes. I also have a rather morbid sense of humour. Sometimes these combine in interesting ways.
Can animals other than humans be turned into vampires? Is vampirism limited to mammals, to simians, or just to humans? Vampire monkeys would be seriously awsome.
There go some vampire monkeys. I’d better rev up my wooden chainsaw and let out the ent.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
There’s really, really no reason to be relieved that WLB isn’t going to kiss April, as there’s only so many things left that can be described as “gross” when you’re already in a room full of rotting bug-infested flesh-consuming human corpses.
Just saying.
Also, absolutely love the facial expression in panel 5. If there was a way to hug someone through the internet, Owen would have a restraining order on me by now.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed that the tin can man just posted the following bit of idiocy while I was writing my previous comment: “This has probably been asked before, but does a schaemiac need to feed like a vampire, or is biting a human purely by choice?”
Either the wizard of Oz somehow failed to give the tin can man a brain, or the tin can man’s button eyes just fell off, rendering him strangely able to operate a computer and post comments but unable to read. Anyone who payed any attention to either the comic or the comments should know that schaemiac’s are formed when a vampire runs completly out of blood. Vampires take two weeks to run out of blood and fall into a coma, then spend 65 years of utter agony then awaken as a schaemiac. Schaemiacs are essentially zombies with vampire powers. They do not need blood, just like zombies do not need blood. Right at the beginning of the comic, Francis (and you do know who Francis is, right?) walked across the bottom of the ocean immediatly after bursting out from his coffin. This journey would have taken a long time, and he did it without any blood. Zombies are practically as dead as someone can get and still be able to move arround. Starvation won’t affect them, only physical destruction will. So no, schaemiacs do not need to feed – they do not really need anything.
Sorry for the harsh and insulting words – it would have been much worse if Bobby had answered your question.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
“This has probably been asked before, but does a schaemiac need to feed like a vampire, or is biting a human purely by choice? ”
They don’t need to feed.
“did WLB and Aprils grandma have an affair, or is someone else the great granddaughter?”
Huh? April is the granddaughter of Sullivan Davis and some woman, and Murdo is the grandson of Francis Murdo and some other woman. Francis and April aren’t related. And I don’t think Francis was ever in a relationship with April’s grandmother.
November 24th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Its a town thats barely bigger than a phonebooth, so a lot of people will be distant relatives from one another even more than some bigger place. April or her grandmother for that matter was probably some distant cousin of the girl Francis loved in his day. Why on earth is everyone so speculative over a comment like “you look just like her”?
November 24th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
“April or her grandmother for that matter was probably some distant cousin of the girl Francis loved in his day.”
I think there’s more to the story than that. It would be extremely logical to assume that Francis had a thing for April’s grandma, who was, by the way, married to Sullivan Davis.
November 24th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Hmm… which would of course only add to the whole resetnment for Sullivan. You could even add the back story of the girl having rejected Francis for Sullivan – all of it happening with high school as a backdrop.
Of course, all that would make Francis even more of a whiney little bitch…
November 24th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
To be fair if a vampire turned me agaisnt my will because she wanted to be with me forever…..and then did it to my best friend…well dammit man id be a little whiny too. Living eternally isnt something i would look forward to alone; plus I’m not too keen on killing myself either. So yeah….not like you can take back vampirism.
November 24th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Since Murdo exists someone MUST have had sex with WLB…
ew
November 24th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
“Since Murdo exists someone MUST have had sex with WLB…”
OH YEAH. Almost forgot that one.
ewww…

Okay, yes, TFZ is a WLB. But, unfortunately, I’d wager that at least one of the people who have commented about this comic would do much the same thing, especially after torturing themselves for 65 years.
Oh, and it ain’t me, neither. I don’t like people, and I keep ‘em at arms length. (Funny story, I suppose, is that I once got dumped by somebody I didn’t even know I was dating).

I wouldnt torture myself for 65 years like some super-emo kid cause of a girl. If he just wasn’t a people person then maybe I can understand that, But I mean there must have been easier ways to kill AFP.
OH! Question, He must be wondering Where the FUCK is Sullivan right? I mean he would have noticed if he was killed by a bomb since he was like… there? Assumed suiside?

“Relationship trouble” and “getting dumped” is less than 1% of the reason for why Francis killed the world. The biggest reason is because his country just lost a huge battle in the Pacific and he thought for sure at the time that America was going to lose the war and that 65 years later the world would be owned by Germany and/or Japan. The second biggest reason is because his whole life basically he hated vampires more than anyone on Earth and then he’s turned into the thing he despises against his will by a vampire who very stupidly tells him of the only way to not only kill all the vampires, but also torture all the vampires for almost a century before killing them, and the only way to do that is to kill every human on Earth. The relationship trouble, among other things, are just extra reasons for why he became so sad and pissed off at the world that he could actually consider doing such a thing. No excuses, though — he’s the devil.
“Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed that the tin can man just posted the following bit of idiocy while I was writing my previous comment”
LOL. Your previous comment was filled with at least 50 times more idiocy than any other comment on this page, Herb.
“Either the wizard of Oz somehow failed to give the tin can man a brain, or the tin can man’s button eyes just fell off, rendering him strangely able to operate a computer and post comments but unable to read. Anyone who payed any attention to either the comic or the comments . . .”
This coming from the guy who in his previous comment somehow asked if animals can be turned into zombies, something that I’ve answered on at least 20 of the pages. He also thinks that if the inventor of something dies, the things he invented also die with him and no one else can use them. He should be amazed that telephones and computers work, I guess, since their inventors are dead.

i probably wouldn’t kill the world, but the first thought i’d have after getting out of that coffin would be, “i’m gonna kill the next person I see”.

I know that it wasn’t done, but would the following have worked in this world?
Turning about a thousand people into vampires and locking them up in Antarctica for two weeks (or anywhere that TFZ would be unlikely to search through for at least 2 weeks) until they go into a coma and become undetectable by TFZ. Then set up a time release blood injection set for lets say 10 years (long enough that the normal zombies are all rotted away).
They would revive and unless very unlucky would still be out of TFZs several thousand mile detection radius, giving the newly awakened vampires time to hit him and free the trapped vamps (possibly finding them through implanted radio transmitters quickly).
Hit TFZ while he is unprepared and has no allies and only a little warning. Kill him, free the trapped vamps then break out the cure.

TFZ still has 5 billion bitches at his disposal. Those vampires would be owned.

Krasno, you quote the whole post but you didn’t read it carefully enough, like this part: “lets say 10 years (long enough that the normal zombies are all rotted away).” But it’s very possible that I’m going to decide that the zombies actually never rot away in this story, which may be crucial to something coming up in the sequel.
Stormin: There’s a difference between not letting all the never-been-a-vampire humans die and making your own humans by returning vampires to humanity. Letting all the regular humans die is like the end of humanity in itself, even if the vampire cure worked — they aren’t regular humans now — they were once vampires and most of them are hundreds of years old. It’s just not the same. They want to save the last humans. Also, they don’t even know if the thing works — Addison just finished the thing like TODAY and hasn’t tested it on anyone.
November 24th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
“Addison just finished the thing like TODAY and hasn’t tested it on anyone.”
That would be the big flaw in my idea I guess. It would have probably taken a couple years to set my idea up, building a base and making sure that the blood would be usable after ten years and setting up the equipment so it is 100% sure that it will work (maybe even giving each vampire its own independent injection system so if only a few revive they can do the rest by hand). AFP had 64.9ish years to set up, in that time having this built wouldn’t have been a huge deal. A backup plan to Sullivan’s.
Even taking the zombies never rotting into account, it would be easy to change the plan and deal with it. Just have a couple revived beforehand and have them get into a situation where they can be sure they will meet WLB face to face, then detonate a suitcase nuke. I know nothing but a stake to the heart will actually kill him, but being blasted into radioactive dust might make him harmless. Even if it doesn’t, it would have been worth a shot
As for the main point… would it be so important being sure that those few humans currently left stay alive, would there be any real difference between them and hundreds of people turned to vampires, stored then revived and cured?
November 24th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Heh, in the 5th panel it looks almost like WLB has pupils.
Imagine him looking at a spider offscreen: OMG it’s crawling towards me, don’t come any closer OHMIGAWDSPIDER!!!!

“would there be any real difference between them and hundreds of people turned to vampires, stored then revived and cured?”
Keep in mind that not only do they not know if it would work at all, but they don’t know the long term effects. Maybe there would be problems down the line with those returned vampire-humans and maybe they can’t have children with each other but only with a never-vampire human and maybe they’d get diseases down the road or whatever.

“Dang. I was hoping they were going to kill Francis by cutting out his heart and playing baseball with it (with a wooden bat). Finally, one of the most useless sports in the world could be used for something productive.”
…And football and every other sport are not useless…how? Sports exist as a bonding ritual and to exhibit your physical acuity.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Cat, thanks for reminding me of that — I knew I was pissed at Herb for another reason too. Baseball is by far the best sport in the world. What an idiot.

“Vicky: The first two words of Page 104 are “Your grandmother.—
and now I’m in love with the granddaughter. The stuff you get to do when you are immortal.
Ya know, one of those quirks I noticed but never quite cared about it considering just how damn good te comic is, only idiots would complain, but it does pique my curioisty: “Its five billion zombies.”
The world right now has 6.5 billion people, give or take. What happened to the other billion and a half? Are those the ones who died in the all out nuclear war? Sorry if its been discussed a million times.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
You know, I was lookign at the last page..
Francis saying “got some scheme?” with that look on his face is one of the best things I;ve seen in a while
Scheeeeeeeeeeeeme
November 24th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
“What happened to the other billion and a half?”
Killed in other ways obviously, like the nuclear war that was mentioned, for one. Math also talked about other survivors killing each other and committing suicide and so on.

… human/vampire is fine by me (and cute too.) but human/zombie is nassssssstttttyyyy.
Which is why I am SO glad that there will be no zombie kissing in this comic.
But no kissing at ALL? That’s….um…well…yeah. My train of thought just went through a tunnel and I lost all communication with it.
Loving this with many hugs!
Die, WLB!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! If I was there I’d stake you!!! and then chop off your head and use it as a soccerball! (since soccer is one of the zombiehead sports we haven’t seen yet.)

Necrophilia, yuck. Hey, what about zombie golf with their eyes as balls and their kegs as clubs?

My first post, even though I have been reading for a while. I read up to around 91 or so without reading any of the comments. I am only about on page 50 in reading the comments, but it was funny how many things I completely missed until they were brought up in the comments.

I bet Val and Murdo kissed at least once. We just didn’t get to see it…
