SO EXCITED you updated again. Wonderful as always. Makes me miss France with my girlfriend. Also makes me miss Shaun of the Dead. Tra la la.

[penrod_pulaski]

haha, thank you! I'm hoping to milk my short stay abroad as long as this comic will sustain itself.

and god, how could I not have watched Shaun of the Dead again in preparation..!? I'll have to correct this immediately. "It's not hip-hop, it's electro!"

What size notebook did you draw these in? I've been using one of those back-pocket reporter-style notebooks for a couple months, and I can't cram 1/4 as much detail onto one of those pages as you have. Tell me you're using something bigger!

oh! No no, this is the 5 x 8 1/4'' book, though when I drew my minicomic, every page was that backpocket size. This is the kind of detail I had to cram:

That is still pretty dang epic. I'm going to have to try and get that kind of detail on those little pages, instead of half-assing everything with a giant marker.

thanks! I've always had a strong inclination to draw very tiny... I've been trying to force myself out of the habit, and it's interesting to see how it changes my drawing. Still, I like drawing the occasional comic on the back of receipts!

Wow, LOVE the expression in that title page! The detail in this comic is great :)

I was confused by "Mince!" though... so I looked it up! Thanks for teaching me something today about French exclamations! :)
I'm sure glad you updated :D

[penrod_pulaski]

Thank you very much! Expect more silly French obscenities, which were really the only words I used there. I'm on track with the next pages, so hopefully another update soon!

[tallfemalemanta]

Yay! I can't wait! :) All the best!

I like the way you designate the zombies largely through the spooky white eyes. And "Awesome, we totally got this place to ourselves!" is a great mode for a zombie story!

[penrod_pulaski]

Thanks, Jason! I realized in my preliminary sketches that I stink at trying to draw actual menacing horror, so I tried to pare it down to eyes and bitemarks. Perhaps I'll learn as I go along.

There should just be an entire city converted into a zombie-theme park. I'd get a loft there.

Spectacular! I particularly love the aerial views.

Thank you! I'm trying to teach myself to draw varying perspectives again! It will be a bit of a bear for a while
