In French, there is both a masculine and feminine “they” (ils, elles). If it’s a group of women, it’s correct to use the feminine “elles”, but if there is just one guy, then you are supposed to use the masculine “ils”. Yes, I know we speak English and not French, but I thought it was interesting. (Besides, as a correlation, English used to have singular and plural forms of “you” just like the French. That’s what “thy” and “thou” are.)

Also, in my Technical Writing course, it’s alright to use either just “his”. It’s bad to use it in documents when you could possibly offend people, but then again, I doubt April will really stick up for the zombies.

Though, imagine if the zombies went on zombie-strike as a counter… “No, we WILL NOT maim, bite, devour, horribly disfigure, or destroy the human race until this sexism ends and our demands are met!”

Also, I think it’s important that we all remember that Bobby and Owen, as well as almost every other web-comic writer/artist/etc, create their work out of their own free will. 95% of the time (from my experience) they do not do so for pay, or are under any sort of contract; they do so because they want to, and there are times that they want to give up because they are tired of the work, but don’t for some driven reason.

So thank you, Bobby and Owen. Unable to speak for anyone else, I appreciate the effort you both have put into this, and I’m glad that it’s still together after all this time. Good luck with your movie; I eagerly await to see it. : )

Vo i would never ever want to be on your badside

Well, I’d totally disagree with this. Tons of talentless hacks have tons more readers than this comic, and I’m not at all pleased with my work on “Last Blood.” Also, Javin credits Owen for any success “Last Blood” has, and good art certainly has a lot to do with it.

“If there are in fact any modern military still active anywhere on the planet . . .”

I’m not positive, but I think you’ve brought this up several times, and each time I’ve said that the only humans left alive are the ones from this small town and also 200 in Mexico (all of which will die very soon).  There is no human military of any kind active, other than Murdo as a one man army.

P.S. If you were a talentless hack like Javin says, you wouldnt have so many readers and comments.

From certain points of view the zombie horde is TFZ because it operates as a direct extension of his will. It could be a perfectly legitimate way of speaking amongst vampires about the subject.

On another matter long since debated into the ground which nonetheless pops up here and there…

If there are in fact any modern military still active anywhere on the planet (certain elements of the modern Navy for example?) they doubtless have access to at least some orbital surveillance assets. Such assets could easily spot this mass convergence of zombies and thus locate/ identify the school if they haven’t already.

Too much to ask for an intact carrier group to have survived, but single ships here and there slowly starving to death…

Dunno if they could actually do much this far from the ocean, but they could see it happening at least. Be interesting to see if they are still out there.

I feel sorry for whoever was stuck up in orbit when this all went down. Poor bastards were screwed in so many ways.

Anyway, let’s not make this a private chat, it’s rude. Still looking forward to the next comic!
