Author Notes:
I don't have much else to say except that we can't find our cat :( We're not sure if she got out (Or when she would have...), but she hasn't been seen all day :( We called the animal control and hope that the fact that she's chipped will mean that she finds her way back home... She doesn't have a collar on, but mainly because we don't let her go outside...
Right now we've got a box with a sweater and a can of catfood set up out front of our house... Hopefully it doesn't get eaten by a Raccoon or something...
(If you only check on update days, go back for a spectacular collaboration between June and Kristy from Wake the Sleepers.)

And I love John's srs bns faic in that last panel! I love how quick he went from Mr. Apathy in the door to Mr. Let's-Do-This throwing on his jacket to rescue R.Z.!
"OW!"
*bump*
"Why are we going over so many bumps?!?"
*BUMP*
...What, I have good memory? :P
@Guest - I think that his attitude is sort of the same that I figure the readers would have... R.Z. comes across as resilient with what we've seen so far... But Beth reminds him that if they are trying for brains, it doesn't matter if they aren't there to find once the head is broken open... I think that John's taken to R.Z. fairly quickly, and I think that John is going to be just as fast to go to his defense as Beth...
@ranger_brian_new - Except that one was called "He only had himself to blame" :) I was doing the Cellblock Tango theme for a few titles.. :)
@moizmad - Me too... We're going to put up signs tomorrow...
(I hope your cat comes home!)
also beth's face in panel 1 is awesome. that looks about like me when i have a freakout over something... minus all the sexy.
I've missed this comment I've been so busy at work I haven't had time to comment in ages.
I really like the idea of the waste and it totally adds new depth to the story. Just because their dead it doesn't mean the you can't still die, it's really interesting to see the story get darker and more serious, although don't stop the jokes their funny.
@Metsfan - Definitely not going to remove it entirely.. It's always intended to be the light hearted look at the zombie apocalypse ;)
@MasterofWeirdness - Thank you, so do we :)
@model S - R.Z. is one of the few things that can actually get Beth unhinged... And thank you :) We'll take whatever help we can get :D
@Snoog - Me too... It's chipped, so long as someone takes her in and calls the right authorities, it should be fine...
The reason the Waste exists is because the population is much smaller than it is currently, so I wanted to show that some areas had fallen into disrepair.
The last scene, a Two with a Stop sign in place of a hand but still relatively happy shows a sort of buffer. You'd expect her to have her hand replaced in the city, and you'd expect her to be less friendly in the Waste...
Everyone was probably filming me walking around my garden XD
Either way, your cat will come back, we have faith!
As for the comic: I like it. It's true that you don't need a punchline every time. Drama and comedy tend to work as a good balance for one another. However: when we first saw John discover the hidden lab, it appeared to be pretty close to Beth's house (or I misread it that way)... but apparently that area must be pretty close to the wastes if RZ was able to wander there so quickly. Which begs the question: if they're that close to a dangerous area, why is Beth living there in the first place?
As for the bunker, it is close to Beth's house, and the Waste is far away... The fact that there is still a happy Two should show that it's not as deep in the waste as they have been suggesting would be the case about R.Z...
Beth doesn't actually live that close to the waste either, I think that we're going to say that the timeline is being slightly skewed due to the fact that I'm showing some things out of turn :)
i mean what?
I don't know if it's just me, but does Jhon's sudden impulse to help seem more like he's trying to impress Beth than anything else.
Hope you find your kitty soon!
Remember indoor only cats have a much better lifetime with less chances at disease and other serious issues (like zombie attack).
Hopes this helps.
@Kevin - Thanks ;)
Oh, I meant to put up your guest comic, but it obviously wouldn't fit our site... So I'm going to have to get June to chop it up first and make it a vertical design :D
@Jamming - She is an indoor only cat... which is why she doesn't have her collar on..
