Monty by Jim Meddick for July 18, 2011

It was the merciful thing to do.

Don’t worry Brad. Everybody becomes a zombie during Snuggie’s ad.

Honestly Brad, we all die a little bit inside when those informercials come on.

Ironically, it seems encouraging to me that Brad realizes he’s dead; his brain has not yet ceased to function altogether. Maybe there’s some hope for him! —And for Monty’s survival!

Simple. If you wake up tomorrow and your brain is missing, you’ll know he’s a zombie.Meanwhile, thanks PSchearer, from yesterday.

I just got back from vacation in Gilmer County, WV and it seems that the zombie storyline is a bit too much for their local readers to handle; the local paper had an entirely different story running all last week. Weird. I don’t see anything wrong with this story…except maybe Brad’s hand placement in the last panel while he’s talking about a snuggie. Is that a euphemism?

Since it was a monkey-zombie who infected him, maybe he’s just “mostly dead”? Or maybe he’ll only want to eat monkey brains, in which case all he has to do is move to Pankot.

Brad can be a zombie artist. He’s already drawing flies.

Behold-The new Prometheus..I bet Roger Corman and George Romero arefollowing this story with baited breath..
