Will the Gronk save us from the zombie-disease-carrying candidates for president?
Hugh B. Hayve almost 13 years ago
Somehow, I knew Capn. Eddie would have a completely plausible explanation for the situation.

Huh!? I thought that the Gronk played for the Patriots against the Giants. Turns out he plays for the Giants against the Penguins. This explains a lot.

How does a little girl know what cheap booze tastes like? Has she been nipping from the old man’s liquor cabinet again?

Just get Obama out before we become the next Greece. With all the bad pub about Romney and his millions, you’d think people would want someone that know how to make money and not spend more than is available …

isn’t it nice to know that washington collects all the criminals and nut-cases in one nice District, so penguins can walk the streets safely at night?

I’m going to be very disappointed if Opus doesn’t make a cameo appearance during this story arc.

Zombies everywhere are offended that you would compare them to politicians.

I love Captain Eddie. Every time I look in the mirror he’s looking back.

So they’re from Pittsburgh? Hee Hee….Zombi penguins (zomguins?) are different than piranha penguins? Bird is the word!
Varnes almost 13 years ago
I certainly wouldn’t give Frogg applause! (See what I did there?)

Can the Ekert help out here?

Zombie apocalypse? I know it’s the ultimate disaster and thus being prepared for it is to be prepared for any disaster (zombiesquad.com for details) but really. The idea has been hyped so much over the past couple of years it’s becoming stale even to zombie-philes like myself.

Governmental zombies. Let’s all look in the mirror to see who’s to blame for getting them into office to begin with.

@ TheTrustedMechanic – You do realize that for the first two years of his presidency he had a Democrat dominated Congress behind him don’t you?

Kerovan, you are aware that the Republican use of the filibuster is unprecedented, and does away with the concept of majority rule, right? Now you have to have a super majority because Republicans take the cowardly way out, throw a tantrum because they can’t have their way, and filibuster everything. Anything but compromise for the good of all, or meet in the middle. Educated people know that America was founded on compromise, and can only work unless compromises are made. Republicans refuse to be reasonable adults, and compromise. That means they are only American because of where they live. Their ideas go against everything America stands for. Think about it. They have actually made the word moderate into a pejorative… twisted individuals all….

Are the zombie-disease-carrying penguins connected to the piranha penguins from Sunday’s comic?

So what you are saying is that if Muslims are often portrayed as terrorists, Jews as money grubbing Zionists, Blacks as poor thugs, Latinos as drug dealers, WASPs as loud mouthed bigoted xenophobes, etc. there is essentially nothing wrong with falling back on entertainment media stereotypes? That it is okay to constantly pigeon-hole a subculture/minority as long as it serves a humourous narrative?I was hoping that Wiley would be a bit more creative when identifying the “bad” Penguins but unfortunately he has gone the Clip Art route of comic strips on this one and settled for a boring stereotype of those outside the “norm” being bad.Sorry if my desire for a bit more intelligent writing labels me as a “Troll” but I won’t take too much offense seeing as you wrote a huge rant regarding Obama when he doesn’t even appear in the strip.

I know this is yesterday’s strip, but how can you tell if a penguin has a tattoo?
natureboyfig4 Premium Member over 12 years ago
The only penguin I know of who fits that description is Opus Croakus, rhythm tuba player for Deathtongue. Don’t worry: That’s not a zombie. It’s just Bill the Cat!
