Page 104: Thank You
Saturday, November 24th, 2007To anyone who might not have figured it out, April was not really happily thanking him and hugging him for real — was just pretending and getting close so she could try to kill him.
Also, to anyone who might say that Francis would have seen the stake, along with many other things I could say to that (like “No, he wouldn’t”), he didn’t think a stake could kill him — thought nothing could kill him as a First Zombie, especially after taking that bullet to the brain.
And to the people who will question how April got the stake: Math gave it to her during their hour of training before Page 73, which includes the line “Then we probably just wasted the past hour.” Math had a stake because he hoped to kill The First Zombie with it, then when he discovered that April’s grandpa was almost certainly TFZ, he figured she would be the only one who he might let get close to her, as his only living relative and most likely the reason why he of course kept this town alive while killing everyone else in the world. Math tried to teach her in that hour how to kill a vampire (or schaemiac) and coached her on various things to say which might help her get close to him if he gave her the opportunity.
But killing TFZ does no good if all the humans are surrounded by tons of zombies at the time, because then those zombies will still be dangerous and still want “brains” after they lose their connection to TFZ, who is currently stopping them in their tracks, frozen around the humans, waiting for instructions. If/when he dies, they’ll start eating humans left and right, and there aren’t many to go around! This is why April hesitated before killing TFZ, didn’t take any of the opportunities in the past few minutes, because she was petrified for one reason, and also because she still had a faint hope that he’d let all the humans live, since he still hadn’t killed them, had stopped the zombies. But she was so disgusted by the plans that TFZ apparently had for her on this page that she just had to stop this evil piece of shit from controlling the world for one more second. She decided his time is up, even if it meant the death of herself and all the humans.
I originally thought this page would be a really good one, but I’m kind of hating it at the moment. Oh well, hopefully I’ll get a second crack at it on a film set soon.

Am I the only one that’s sad that Francis will die?
November 24th, 2007 at 9:21 pm
yeah 2nd comment thats cool.. awesome page guys.. keep up the great work.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
YES! this is going to be great
November 24th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
hey, this is my first time posting. but im confused. i get that he thinks he couldnt be killed, because he could just not know to the extent vampires are immortal, but if he thought Schamaeics are invincible, how did he plan to kill all the vampires after they turned into TFZ’s if he thought they’d be immortal. just seems to make no sense to me.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
Early comment? HAHA, laughing hard at the second panel. Looks like WLB is gonna rape her. XD
November 24th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
I doubt this is gonna work. We still have too many pages left. I just really hope he doesn’t kill her. Maybe throw her around, or make her stake Murdo or Math. Just don’t kill her. She should get to met her grandpa to. Hope he really is decayed, moreso than WLB is.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Foolish zombies… who would check there!
(heh, he’s gonna die…)
November 24th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
“if he thought Schamaeics are invincible, how did he plan to kill all the vampires after they turned into TFZ’s if he thought they’d be immortal. just seems to make no sense to me.”
#1 — Why do people continually underestimate the impact of 65 YEARS OF THE WORST TORTURE EVER??? That’s worse than a million deaths and who the fuck cares what happens to you after that. #2 — Probably plans to stake them all right before the 65 years are up. 64 years of torture maybe. Either way, who cares — 65 years of torture is the main goal — doesn’t matter what the fuck happens after that. It’s not like there’d be anything for them to do, and the torture is a big enough punishment (that’s the ultimate punishment).
November 24th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
All I can say is.
OWNED.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:46 pm
HAHAHA! I love April’s comment in the second panel: “Oh god.”
Also. Is he GRABBING HER ASS in the sixth panel? O__o
(I seriously checked all this about TEN MINUTES AGO and ya’ll’ve already updated and there’s been 9+ comments.)
November 24th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
OK, everyone’s wondering so I’ll ask. Does Francis even have a wang these days?
Creepy question, but inquiring (and filthy) minds want to know!
November 24th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
Errm, where’s his right hand in panel 6?
Poor April, gettin’ groped by a zombie. Ugh.
Later,
November 24th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
I must really congratulate you. There are so many cool things you could have done, or do, but you made some decision on what would happen and what not would happen. Zombie animals would b really cool, but you said no. Final. Though I do personally think it would be really sweet to see some zombie cougars in Sullivan’s army, it ain’t happening. But a fanboy can dream, right?
And stake taped to the arm, classic. Glad it wasn’t a lame “let me just let down my hair, and then we can have fun” and then stake with hair pins. He may be a little annoying bastard, but he does deserve a little better death then that cliche.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
Go April!
She shouldn’t have said anything though, I know it’s much more dramatic this way but he’s so close he could always nic her with his teeth as he goes down.
Oh well, goodbye WLB!
November 24th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
“Am I the only one that’s sad that Francis will die?”
No, I’m going to miss him too. He’s still my hero for staking Val.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
If he bites her I will laugh… i am not sure why but I will
November 24th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Man this keeps getting better and better, keep up the good work!
November 24th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
WHERE IS HIS HAND? D:
(panel 6 D:)
November 24th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
is it just me or is he grabbing her ass in panel 6?
November 24th, 2007 at 11:15 pm
You guys gotta look at the sketches — they answer most of these questions.
November 24th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
Awesome page as always. Bobby, Owen, Thank you.
November 24th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
Its great that the comics are being posted really reglarly at the moment, i can get my Last Blood fix almost every afternoon!
November 24th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
I sincerely hope WLB doesn’t react too fast. April is one of my favourite characters and it would suck immensely if she became a zombie.\
Great page, I love how twisted this all suddenly is.
Girls Rule, WLB drools-Neh! *Immaturely sticks tonuge out*
November 24th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Oh man.. who dies??? April or WLB???
November 24th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
*checks out the sketch*
xD
He is grabbing her ass, then.
November 25th, 2007 at 12:09 am
Well you can’t blame him..
i mean come on!
60 years of torture
he killed the entire worlds population
i’d want some action to?
i’d think id be pretty damn hot than, and any babe would want ruler of the world.
so can we really blame wlb for wanting soemthing after all that hard work?
November 25th, 2007 at 12:21 am
He’d probably wouldn’t look so bad if he didn’t condemn the rest of the human adults to death. The “grabbing her ass” comment in the sketch was pretty funny to see.
April looks wonderfully pissed off in the last panel. It doesn’t look like WLB is wearing any body armor under his dress uniform…
November 25th, 2007 at 12:31 am
I am stupid. What does WLB stand for?
November 25th, 2007 at 12:31 am
Does anyone else think it’s a little ridiculous to tip off the bad guy you’re about to stab him? I.e. the “No, you won’t!” comment from April. >_>
November 25th, 2007 at 12:36 am
DJam: I guess WLB stands for Whiny Little Bitch
November 25th, 2007 at 12:43 am
Oh man you always make TFZ look big pimpin.
The looks he has on his face truly shows a man that has the world in his grip.
Still even though you have repeated that a human would kill WLB I was still blindly hoping to see two schaemiacs engage in epic one on one combat with the fate of the world in the balance. Like the last scene of the matrix where the mindless drones watch as the two greatest forces do battle.
November 25th, 2007 at 12:45 am
I personally like those little ‘vindication moments’ where the bad guy is about to get it (e.g. stake to the back) and doesn’t know it. I just hope she can pull it off and not get ‘zombified’ in the process.
Also… I think it’s awesome she didn’t toss her cookies when he tried to get near her… think about it: A disgusting, evil, shambling corpse is about to get so close you can smell his decaying tongue and she still has the fortitude to hug him? That takes BIG ovaries
November 25th, 2007 at 1:07 am
If she gets through this someone has to show her ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUslGSoEH8I
Take a lesson from Tuco, talk AFTER they’re dead!
“When you have to shoot, shoot – don’t talk.”
November 25th, 2007 at 1:10 am
She can feel the way he’s grabbing her ass like it’s been 65 years since he’s done so (because it has been) and she knows he’s not letting go until he’s dead, especially an ass as nice as her own, which she knows full well.
November 25th, 2007 at 1:14 am
You know how to make it interesting
:D:D Poor April…. And fucking whiny little bitch 
:D
November 25th, 2007 at 1:26 am
Dear Ms. April,
You are awesome. Marry me?
Mr. Crosby: I bet this will show up better in film
November 25th, 2007 at 1:34 am
Yay! April does something important to the plot!
November 25th, 2007 at 2:16 am
Go April!!! I don’t think that will be the demise, unfortunately. I think something else is going to happen. He knows.
November 25th, 2007 at 2:43 am
Liking how the story’s coming together. Can’t wait til Sullivan makes it there and everybody’s standing around staring… “You’re late…”
I know Math’s trained her well, but I couldn’t help but thinking: What if she misses and catches him in the lung?
“Oh i’m sorry Mr. Zombayman, that was s’posed to go in your heart. Can I have a do-over? You can slide your hand in my pants this time ^.^”
November 25th, 2007 at 2:51 am
“To anyone who might not have figured it out, April was not really happily thanking him and hugging him for real — was just pretending and getting close so she could try to kill him.”
Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious
Sorry, but i just couldn’t resist
November 25th, 2007 at 2:53 am
now I know I haven’t been reading all the comments, I simply don’t have the time to do all of that, but the ones I have read seemed to indicate that Sullivan was gonna be another TFZ. I really liked that element cause I was hoping Sullivan would come to the rescue, or that it would be like…an important part of saving the world. Its entirely possible that it will be, the writing has been top notch so far, but I guess I’m just sad that she’s going to take out the WLB herself.
like someone said, I was hoping for epic duels between TFZ’s. and i’m really curious how the play will/would go between the two. like…could Sullivan take WLB’s zombies and do shit with them? probably answered in comments, but like I said I don’t have the time to read all of them.
great comic though, is it really ending on page 112?
November 25th, 2007 at 2:59 am
“Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious”
Definitely necessary for some people!
LivingTree: Sullivan’s showing up very soon. Control of zombies cannot be transferred from schaemiac to schaemiac under any circumstance. Ends on 112 unfortunately, yes — the first GN, that is. Second one starting within six weeks almost for sure.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:02 am
Ummm…. has anyone else thought of the fact that when he dies all his zombies are gonna go wild? and you know 2 feet from the remaining humans, is there gonna be a lot less humans? or will Sullivan get there just in time to have his zombies kill those zombies?
November 25th, 2007 at 3:06 am
Oh, ew. WLB is the ultimate pervert. I mean, come on, he liked her grandmother! x_x
Love April’s expressions, especially that big fake smile. She kind of looks like a Disney character all through this strip, going through lots of different moods, all of them showing her thoughts perfectly. I’m actually surprised WLB didn’t catch on it, since she’s ver readable…
Great page, see you around.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:06 am
Michael: Maybe try reading my original post up there below the comic, where I say –

Heh sorry bobby, read it right after i posted it and kinda wished i hadn’t written it XD but hell just got back from my bro’s going away party so anybody can only imagine what state im in XD
November 25th, 2007 at 3:14 am
oh fuck yeah, do it!! DO IT!!!
November 25th, 2007 at 3:17 am
LOL, love the enthusiasm, Lydia.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:19 am
I think you should make a second comic of this LAST BLOOD 2.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:26 am
“Am I the only one that’s sad that Francis will die?”
No, Anko… Francis is a pretty wicked villain, but I think it will be a pity if he dies like that. After all this planning and effort…
That will mean he was killed by a woman… TWICE
(if vampire transformation by Val counts as being killed).
I am concerned that Francis’s death would cause the zombies to run amok… and some of the last humans may be killed in the process.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:36 am
I’m curious how you’ll consider the behaviour of ‘free’ zombie beyond the scent of the humans? Would they wander hunting for flesh or stand where they are till their legs rot out from under them? Controlled Zombies can have their memories tapped for all their living skills, but do they retain anything beyond the instinct to feed if the master dies?
If you’ve covered this before feel free to ignore my questions.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:55 am
He’s grabbing her ass… And he’s about to get a major case of wood. ::Snickers:: That was corny, I know. But hell, that fake smile was pretty damned corny too. Love it as always!
November 25th, 2007 at 5:07 am
Sooo. Would the movie have a close-up shot of WLB grabbing April’s ass? Because it -should-. It would be hilarious.
November 25th, 2007 at 5:19 am
Nah, most likely wouldn’t be anything like that in the movie. He’d probably seem more taken aback by the hug and just kind of frozen in place, caught off guard.
November 25th, 2007 at 6:30 am
just knew he was going to get icky with the living … but hey,uhh nope just plain icky and stupid ,so very very stupid … go out and find some hooker zombies and use them .. but if it takes mind control to use their memories then it would be more of a “self pleasuring” action wouldn’t it?… just wondering there.. perhaps that weird al movie “UHF” running on the tv at the moment the novice judo student gets thrown out the window from the judo class and the judo teacher leans out of the window and shouts at him that he is so stupid…i amuse myself so easily …. anyways , so the wlb dies and the zombies go wild and everybody who can make it out of the window onto the pile of zombie corpses outside … but that still leaves some 360 or so million zombies roaming the countryside at random looking for brains…and the rest of the world ,forgetaboudit ….
November 25th, 2007 at 6:37 am
How would Francis react if April missed the heart and didn’t end up killing him?
November 25th, 2007 at 6:51 am
He’d cry like a whiny little bitch and say “Boo hoo, I’m sad! Why is everybody always meanin’ on me?!”
November 25th, 2007 at 7:10 am
This page is the biggest piece of crap i have ever seen. I had really enjoyed this comic so far, but now…
Something has happened to the story telling.
Your better than this, dont waste away would could have been a good ending.
November 25th, 2007 at 7:23 am
I hate to be the one to ask this…
Can he even get an erection? I mean, its not like he has any blood, right?
There’s my less than necessary thought for the day.
November 25th, 2007 at 7:37 am
is april’s hand going to be burned??? you said something like that would happen
November 25th, 2007 at 7:47 am
This won’t work…thats all I can say it seems to corny for it to end like this.
November 25th, 2007 at 7:49 am
Sullivan can show up just in time for his 3000 under direct control to use all the skill and fervor that Francis’ zombies had when they were rushing the school to take out a ton of Francis’ zombies, once Francis is dead and can’t direct them like a rotting scalpel. Awesome. Only way this could get cooler is if Sullivan’s zombies are wearing some kind of easily recognizable uniforms so we can root for them in the melee.
November 25th, 2007 at 7:50 am
go april!i can jus thear her now” NO MEANS NO!!!!!”
November 25th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Maybe… If WLB dies and Sullivan is also a Schaemiac, he could take control of the errant zombies and use them as… sex slaves?
OMG THAT’S GROSS
NOT!
I read the FanFAQ…
It would be nice, though
Great great story… Glad there’s still people with good ideas
November 25th, 2007 at 8:47 am
Zombie vs. Zombie… that would cool
There is still the question – would April succeed… damn, the suspense!!!
November 25th, 2007 at 8:47 am
I’m curious…..if you have sex with a zombie, does that make you a zombie, or is it still just only bite?
On the other hand, i don’t think it would matter. I bet WLB is a rough lover, he’d probably bite her sometime in their “relations”.
November 25th, 2007 at 8:58 am
Woot! Totally called that one yesterday.
November 25th, 2007 at 9:56 am
I sincerely hope that I’m not the only one who is fundamentally disturbed at your wonderings of having sex with a zombie. I mean, I know there’s necrophillia, but there has to be a point where you just couldn’t stand the thought of it.
Ugh…
First you’d have to want to have sex, unless it’s rape. Second you have to see them, and let’s face it, WLB ain’t very pretty, solution close your eyes. But then you still have to smell him. I don’t know about you folks, but I’d find it all kinds of difficult to be turned on when you’ve got a thing that smells like your gym-sock wadded in your cafeteria’s ‘best’ entree. Maybe you have a stuffy nose? Even then, you have to feel their flesh or lack thereof.
Gyah! Curse all of you! I didn’t want to think this through!
November 25th, 2007 at 9:58 am
some interesting comments “do zombies get wood?” “if you have sex with a zombie do you turn into a zombie?” WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
whats wrong with me too? i’m curious myself
November 25th, 2007 at 10:02 am
To the people asking how April and WLB would have theoretical sex…please stop. You’re making my brain bleed.
November 25th, 2007 at 10:21 am
Those 3000 are going to do an amazing job taking out zombie after WLB is gone… their natural zombie instinct doesn’t do them much good fighting other zombies. They have no motivation to kill something that isn’t tasty.
November 25th, 2007 at 10:41 am
Hey, you people are forgetting something!! Zombies CAN’T RUN!!! That gives the humans a chance to fight them easily until Sullivan arrives.
November 25th, 2007 at 10:55 am
lol WLB reminds me of a horny virgin at the prom that was lucky enough to dance with the head cheerleader
November 25th, 2007 at 11:02 am
LOL… what? Zombies cant run? Haven’t your read any of the comic yet? They both run, jump, wear armor and chains and sing if they have too. Aslong they are under control.
Second. Figth them easy? they are surrounded by thousands of zombies atm, in a closed room, all the vamps chained, a bunch of kids and some worn down adults??
If you see the possibility of them figthing their way outta this one. Then I must be more blind than a dead mole run over by a truck on a hot summer day during rush-hour on the high-way! Cause I dont see it?
Zombies with wood… uhm… yeah… I can already hear the squishy sounds their flesh makes when they rub up and down eachother… pieces of rotten carcass and dead skin peeling off… yeah.. I can understand why people are interested in knowing that!?!?!?
November 25th, 2007 at 11:05 am
Double-post
Shouldn’t even write this but… Yes the zombies prolly cant run when WLB goes down. But as said before, they wouldn’t need too.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:17 am
april’s grandfather’s zombies will come to the rescue!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:22 am
“LOL… what? Zombies cant run? Haven’t your read any of the comic yet? They both run, jump, wear armor and chains and sing if they have too. Aslong they are under control.

Zombies do all those things when commanded by WLB. Bobby said earlier that they can’t do complex things unless WLB orders them so. Haven’t you ever read any of the comments yet? Or the FAQ?
If they can keep distance from the zombies while fighting them, for example, with Mac’s ax, they can buy enough time for Sullivan to come to the rescue.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Was Moustache man based on this guy: http://www.sorethumbsonline.com/d/20050608.html
for owen’s other comic?
November 25th, 2007 at 11:24 am
from* owen’s other comic.
Also, good page
November 25th, 2007 at 11:39 am
Woah! Dude! Wow! Oh my god! Dude!
That’s all I have to say about today’s comic. Well, that and can you make the next one like uberz fastizizzle?
November 25th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
AAAARGGHHHHHH You had to stop it there, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?!?!?
Sorry. Somethimes, I just go crazy. Like now–heehee
Random question: I saw the ‘I do not cuddle’ t-shirt, and thought it was uber awesome. My question is… are there going to be any more Last Blood t-shirts or other cool LB-related stuffs? I’ll buy it ALLLLLLL!!! YAAAAAAAARGH!!! A t-shirt that says “I eat Brains” with a pic of TFZ would be funny as heck…
November 25th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
…And I might be the only one who’s stretching this particular comic’s intent far enough to say that there’s something between April and Math?? Maybe??? Just a little??? Ok, fine. Whatever. Just thought….
November 25th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Can’t help but notice that her left forarm has been hidden throughout the last 25 pages or so so that this whole stake hiding thing might be a surprise.
November 25th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
A great t-shirt would be “I’m never wrong” with AFP’s face on the front and “You’re an idiot” on the back XD
November 25th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Krasno: They can definitely run without TFZ’s control. When they’re inches away from a group of humans and then the humans start running away, they can smell and see that just fine and run after them. Nothing complex about that. What is complex is having 3,000 zombies run together when they’re miles away from any humans.
November 25th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
So they pretty much need to be close to humans before realizing that they are food?
Oh, so many questions, I’ll check the comments before asking them. God bless the freaks that came up with Google.
November 25th, 2007 at 2:21 pm
psh.
Like that will really work.
This is pretty predictable. He will stop her at the lst moment with his super vampire reflexes or something like that, then be like “grr, im mad at you now. you betray me like your grandmother did. i kill you too. grr.”
and then that.
LOOOOOVE this comic!
’s awesome.
Ill probably be wrong about this prediction too or something. it always breaks away from the obvious and does something awesome.
plus it’s just plain awesome. Love it!
November 25th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Krasno: “God bless the freaks that came up with Google.”
They aren’t freaks…they just have issues is all…
November 25th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Wait bobby now the zombies can run without TFZ control?
When TFZ wasn’t there the zombies did not run at the humans from what I have seen in the comic.
>.
November 25th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
“When TFZ wasn’t there the zombies did not run at the humans from what I have seen in the comic.”
So you probably didn’t see page 46.
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/04/27/page-46-action/
November 25th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
“When TFZ wasn’t there the zombies did not run at the humans from what I have seen in the comic.”
Huh? Please give an example.
“This is pretty predictable. He will stop her at the lst moment with his super vampire reflexes or something like that, then be like “grr, im mad at you now. you betray me like your grandmother did. i kill you too. grr.â€
and then that.”
Uh, TFZ is dead in the very next panel we see.
November 25th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Page 2 of my fan comic is up, for anyone who’s interested. Also, even if you have already read page 1, read it again. It has been revised because of a major mistake I made. You can get to both pages from here: http://www.freewebs.com/lastbloodfaq/fancomic.htm

November 25th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
The idea of a zombie touching me in any way sexual made me want to scream and go hide in the corner. Just…no. NONONONO.
This comic is amazing. This is the first time commenting, and I had to comment on the idea of zombie love is pretty grotesque. But that fact that you guys WENT there is amazing. I can’t wait to see how this finishes out.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
All I know is that I had never read that comic.
November 25th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Man, I’m really loving this series. Loving the characters, loving the plot, loving it to the point of salivation when I see a new one is up.
The only thing about it that’s been nagging at me lately about it is that major plot turns just seem to pop up out of nowhere with no foreshadowing. Perhaps I’m wrong. Perhaps I simply forgot about any. I plan to reread it once it’s all out. So maybe I am wrong about that. But it just seems really really really rushed. And time constraints being what they are, that’s understandable I suppose. But still it pulls one completely out of the world when you read something and wonder “where the h-e-double hockey sticks did that come from”. I find it preferable to read something and think “you sly devil, you, I should have seen that one coming and you still got it past me”. But perhaps that’s just a personal preference. And perhaps I should have seen certain things coming out of the story and am simply too dense to put it together. That’s certainly possible.
I do not want you to think I’m complaining. This is a brilliant story and you’re weaving it very nicely and I’m getting a great deal of enjoyment out of it so you’re definitely doing a kudos-worthy job.
I do feel with it seeming so rushed and haphazardly slapped together in places that a little fleshing out, foreshadowing, and insight into other characters could make this into an amazing movie or even a very nice horror novel.
But even as it stands, it’s certainly deserving of two (or even three) thumbs up.
Keep it up man, can’t wait to see more!

LOOKOUT FRANCIS, IT’S A TRAP!!!!!
November 25th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
A la putita llorona le caben las estacas. (WLB is into stakes)
Hey Bobby, how would you like me to translate Last Blood to Spanish? We Spanish speakers are over 400 million people, don’t underestimate us
It would be a blast to see Last Blood in my language ^_^
November 25th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Despite all the negativity about Francis, definetly the best villian I’ve seen in a long time, great backstory, excellent character developement, and none of that complicated way to kill his enemies, just a quick stake in the heart.
So yeah Anko, I’ll miss Francis too.
November 25th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
Say goodnight Francis, you WLB.
The art of the cliffhanger once again well applied.
November 25th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
I’m pretty confused by the way it goes now. If it is so easy to kill TFZ for April (as it seems now), why didn’t AFP think about this option?
On the other hand: Will Francis be killed, what else matters afterwards? As i know Sullivan is not against them. So they could flee away from zombies with the help of the vamps, and get rid of them by time.
Although based on the existing strips, the story’s gonna have some much more exciting ending, i hope!
November 25th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
“Hey Bobby, how would you like me to translate Last Blood to Spanish?”
Doesn’t matter to me — do whatever you want, as long as you’re not making money off it, of course. Use your own web space for it and I’ll link to it.
November 25th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Hahaha, i love the WLB face in the firts panel. Also, this page shows the real state of Francis mind – total mess. He’s about to kill last humans on earth, take his revenge on vampires, and he is delaying it because he thinks about sex with April, only because she looks like her grandmother. And he looks kinda drunk in the second panel xD
BTW, i think that idea of “horny” Francis is little stupid – he could capture and rape any woman he wants to – but no, he had been waiting to the moment of the final battle to grab April’s ass xD
To Krasno: Dude… i speak polish and i have no problem with reading this comic in english. Learning other languages is a good thing
Not that i have something against translation, but i think if someone have found this site, it’s pretty impossible that he won’t understand the comic. So translation will be just waste of time.
November 25th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
“If it is so easy to kill TFZ for April (as it seems now), why didn’t AFP think about this option?”
The hard part is somehow getting close enough to him to kill him. You CAN’T SMELL HIM, as the comic has explained, so you can’t find him. The only reason he’s showing himself to people now is because all of the vampires are chained up and because he thinks he can’t be killed and because he thinks the humans aren’t any threat to kill him in any case and because he’s talking to the girl who is the spitting image of the only girl he ever loved and so on and so forth. AFP would have had no chance whatsoever of just going and killing him somehow, as the comic and the comments have explained a million times.
“So they could flee away from zombies with the help of the vamps, and get rid of them by time.”
It’s not so easy to flee away when you’re surrounded by millions of zombies, which is how everyone in Mexico and Canada and everywhere else died, even while being protected by tons of vampires.
November 25th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
In the 6th panel when they’re hugging….what is WLB reaching for with his other hand? O.o
November 25th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Nohface, did you even read the entire list of comments? o.O
November 25th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
I think this is a reasonable thing to do. If you want to say how much you love it, or wild speculation, then go ahead. But if you want a question answered, at least read the comments on the current page. Sound fair?
And Bobby, Owen. You guys ROCK!
And Anko, thanks for all you do as well.
November 25th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
“Doesn’t matter to me — do whatever you want, as long as you’re not making money off it, of course. Use your own web space for it and I’ll link to it.”
I don’t have a web space and I suck at lettering. I was thinking of sending you the translated transcripts of the comics so you can do whatever you want with them. I don’t want profit (but I would gladly accept to be credited as translator xD )
November 25th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
To: Anko.
Yes. Yes you are. Personally i look forard to danceing on his metaphorical grave.
November 25th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
“I was thinking of sending you the translated transcripts of the comics so you can do whatever you want with them.”
Nowhere near worth the insane difficult job of doing anything with that. That’s like a trillion hours of work to re-letter the pages and I know no one who would be willing to do so. Certainly not me — I refuse to even letter the English version.
November 25th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
Oh wow. I can imagine WLB thinking. “Well I got booteh and the world. Damn I sure am glad I joined the army.”
Army of one………HAHAHAH!! Oh man oh I’m sorry I just find that to be hilarious.
November 25th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
“Nowhere near worth the insane difficult job of doing anything with that. That’s like a trillion hours of work to re-letter the pages and I know no one who would be willing to do so. Certainly not me — I refuse to even letter the English version.”
You brother letters the comic, right? He has the last word, since it’s his time ^_^
Hey, is there a fan crazy enough to help me in this task?
November 25th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
First things first – this is another really great page. I really like how delightfully evil Francis looks in the third panel. Owen’s work with facial expressions has always been good, but this is the first time such a wide variety of facial expressions are seen on a single person’s face on one page – disgust, fear, uncertainty, fake smiles, and rage. Does anyone else think April looks a little like Val in the penultimate panel? Maybe I’m just going into Val withdrawal, and I’m seeing her everywhere. Anyway, I think April looks the best when she is angry. All of my fingers and toes are crossed hoping she lives – it would be really sad if she died, too. The zombie with the spiders in her hair looked really good, to, but I somehow don’t think that she would appeal to most readers.
Revealing that stake on her left arm is going to send a lot of readers scrambling back along the last 30 pages, to see if her left arm was shown in any of them. Hopefully, they will read some of the previously posted comments and previously answered questions while they are at it.
I’m really impressed with how the story of this comic is turning out. I’ve wrote a few (not particularly good) short stories, so I can say from experience that creating a plot which flows smoothly to a satisfying conclusion is very hard.
“LOL. Your previous comment was filled with at least 50 times more idiocy than any other comment on this page, Herb.”
Hey, not nice. My comments probably have a little more idiocy in them than most, but that is because a few of them were much longer than most. My comments did, however, contain a fair amount of picking at tiny details and innovative speculation, which you seem to have mistaken for idiocy.
You do, however, have a point about my question regarding vampire animals, and for this lapse I apologise. I thought you just said that human vampires were unable to turn animals and so on, but did not discuss the possibility of separate strains of vampirism in different animals. Even if vampire animals are not possible in the fictional world, they are still kinda fun to think about. Once again, sorry.
I would also like to apologise for insulting your love of baseball. Sports seem to be a subject that is very close to the heart of certain people, and they just cannot tolerate others not enjoying them in a similar way. Obviously the fact that I cannot enjoy baseball means that I am deficient as a human being. Sorry.
Please don’t hate me. I would offer you a platter of sizzling toothpick-impailed vampire monkey hearts and let you play baseball with my flaming ent, but that would probably just make things worse.
On another subject, maybe it would be a good idea to just post the raw pictures and text somewhere any let the fans do the work. Each person would only need to do a page or so and the whole thing would be over quickly.
I’d probably better not share my thoughts regarding zombie sex. Waxing lyrical on the subject of dead organs grinding, with maggots and spiders crawling all around, with various bodily fluids mixing is vile swirls of offwhite, pale yellow, and red, of the smells and the sounds this would involve, would probably be enough to make everyone hate me.
November 25th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
i’m kind of wondering what happened to TFZ while he was down in that coffin. i remember reading he can’t regenerate any damage while he’s in the torture phase, but it’s just now that i’ve noticed it’s almost that whole side of his face that’s damaged. and wondering how much he whined about it when he got out.
November 25th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
“Huh? Please give an example”
Well Bobby this is what I meant. You showed us a few pages where Murdo and his drunk friend kicked zombie ass. Murdo as well. The zombies did not seem to be running at all. They were actually stumbling along walking at a snails pace.
You just said that if TFZ died the zombies would run at the humans, while in the rest of the comic I saw them walk.
What gives?
November 25th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Anko, i’m gonna miss francis jut a little…or rather, the interaction he had w/ the other characters. On his own he’s rather annoying, and I personally wouldn’t care if he was gone. However, the situation creates a very dry, ironic humor. Here he is, millions, probably billions of undead flesh-eaters at his control, the only possible hope for humanity is chained up, and everyone still treats him like a piece of shit. That I will indeed miss.
and Dan, lighten up a little, there’s some stuff that’s hard to express in just pen and paper. Plus bobby is the one who wrote, i think he would know. And regardless, think of it logically. If the can run physically, y wouldn’t they? A basic primal instinct is to chase your food, and if you have to run, you will.
I want some more of Eddie, he’s cool!
November 25th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
“You brother letters the comic, right? He has the last word, since it’s his time”
Um, he complains enough about having to do the English version and obviously his time is much better spent on anything else in the world other than lettering a foreign language version of “Last Blood” for zero money. If you want to do it so bad, do it yourself. Saying you “suck at lettering” doesn’t make any sense. It’s just manual labor basically, especially when the bubbles are already made for you and you just have to replace the English text with Spanish. Anyway, let’s not waste any more time talking about it here (or anywhere).
“Hey, not nice.”
You call someone an idiot and insult them a ton out of nowhere for doing something that you did to an even worse extent yourself and then you act all hurt when you’re insulted in the same manner? Ugh, so annoying.
“You showed us a few pages where Murdo and his drunk friend kicked zombie ass. Murdo as well. The zombies did not seem to be running at all. They were actually stumbling along walking at a snails pace.”
Don’t understand your point. No humans were running away from them there, so why would they be running after anyone? Humans were moving TOWARDS THEM, fighting them, killing them. I think only once before have we seen humans running away from zombies in the comic, Panel 1 of Page 54, and it looks to me like that zombie on the left is running after those kids –
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/05/30/page-54-scarred-for-life/
But it doesn’t matter in any way — you can’t compare such situations. When you have 30 humans all running away together right next to tons of zombies, there’s much more reason for the zombies to run after them than in any situation we’ve previously seen. Even if they were identical situations, though, we haven’t seen nearly enough of the zombies in general to be able to make any kind of judgements about how they should or should not act and somehow make it sound like they couldn’t run before.
EDIT: Was just reminded of Page 46, which I believe Anko linked to earlier –
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/04/27/page-46-action/
Zombies are clearly running after Mac there, because he’s running away from them.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
Herb you talk too much…
Also, has no one thought of the fact that francis might have the worlds ultimate case of Erectile Dysfunction considering the distinct lack of blood =P I mean damn wouldnt that be frustrating destroyed the world saved the one beautiful girl only to realize.. oops.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
Wow. WLB re-defines the benchmark for creepy. Ok that’s why people are supposed to grow old. So they aren’t super humanly strong when they’re saying you smell just like your grandmother used to …
Love the close ups of his open cheek. You can see each tooth. Owen needs to stop spelling his name with an ‘e’
November 26th, 2007 at 12:11 am
And the fourth panel … you can actually see her thinking one of those noises you make when you shudder involuntarily. He must’ve really loved her grandmother to miss a cringe like that. This is my favorite page in the whole series.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:11 am
>.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:13 am
Oh bother, sorry i forgot that the less than sign messes things up.
The grossed out face was followed by
Eww, zombie gropeage..
Yay April’s awesome STEAK THE WLB!
November 26th, 2007 at 12:33 am
I think that if this becomes a movie and it has a premiere. Anko should get a ticket to it most definitely.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:49 am
Wow…she has definitely gained my respect (even if she is fictional) I would definitely have thrown up by now XD
November 26th, 2007 at 12:50 am
Looks like a lousy angle for stabbing someone through the heart. Zombies may be softer material, but at least the uniform is reasonably fresh, and getting through the fabric alone is not going to be child’s work. And he has kept his parts together reasonably well for a long time. After all, the vampire strength must have some structural support, too.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:08 am
Good thing April’s not a child. Did you see her back in Panel 6? She benches 240.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:12 am
Oh my God, this page was amazing. WLB’s totally going for it in panel 6 (I laughed so frigging hard when looking at the sketch) which is oh so creepy. Yay, go April!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:20 am
April and the children, it is blackmail and TFZ/WLB knows a lot of the group strength has come from April wanting to keep the children protected and secure. He could figure she might submit for them.
On the protect the humans thing, TFZ/WLB has brought all the parties together: humans, vampires, zombies. The last few frames have only been a few minutes. So we should have:
1) TFZ/WLB’s last thoughts should be continued shock, first over April’s submission then stabbing (he thought he couldn’t be killed). This should not allow him to issue a “kill” command before he dies. Zombies will react in a mindless fashion.
2) The chain gang will lose their cohesion as vampire holding goons.
3) Murdo is under control, but probably not fully secured yet (yeah, I’m assuming he is still struggling, same motivation that caused him to turn to defend the humans).
4) Possibly some other vampires are still working on and possibly breaking chains the entire time (Rage, Math, John Henry, etc.) but easily controlled at this point by the chain gang (and getting more wrapped around them as time goes by).
Biggest problem I see is that Sullivan’s crowd is still incoming and how will the vampires and humans understand that Sullivan’s aren’t hostile, at least at first. Of course putting an outward facing phalanx around the humans might give a quick hint and even if a few are killed, it wouldn’t matter. Also Sullivan himself would be a great killer of zombies. Great mass confusion scene.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:31 am
I can see D getting out pretty fast. Only one chain on her.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:10 am
“Uh, TFZ is dead in the very next panel we see.”
-
Yes he will be…then again, he has been dead in all eight of these panels…
November 26th, 2007 at 2:38 am
Don’t worry Anko, I’m kinda sad too. D: Lets hope he doesn’t die together~!! ;D
Seriously tho, I’m amazed she can keep her cool, hugging a big lump of seriously old flesh like that… I mean… After all, she’s not me. XD
November 26th, 2007 at 4:07 am
tfz/wlb=ultimate emo kid
I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but are animals able to turn in zombies? Or are they pretty much just ignored?
November 26th, 2007 at 4:47 am
They can’t, and it been asked many many times before.
November 26th, 2007 at 4:49 am
No, animals cannot be turned into zombies or vampires. And Kamatu, Francis doesn’t have to issue a kill command. Once he is dead, they won’t have any control and they will just mindlessly try to eat the nearest humans. Yeah.
November 26th, 2007 at 4:53 am
Hmm… I figure WLB would be able to have sex without blood the same way he can see without eyes… but then again, why is he hitting on April if he can just find zombie April’s Grandma and hit that instead?
November 26th, 2007 at 5:25 am
Grym, yeah, they will, but I’m seeing a brief delay from the current “stop” command and an erratic turn towards the “brains” command.
November 26th, 2007 at 5:58 am
As a matter of style, does it really have to be a stake? I personally think it would be cool if she jabbed him with a yardstick or someone’s model cabin or something.
November 26th, 2007 at 6:34 am
That wouldn’t work… only a Wooden stake will kill them. Nothing else.
November 26th, 2007 at 6:55 am
I’d imagine that any sharp piece of wood would work. I mean, chances are none of the wooden stakes we’ve seen have been used previously to stake any tents down or anything.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:09 am
Oooh crap. I just realized! You mentioned earlier that when you stake a vampire (or TFZ in this case) that the stake gets really hot!
Hope she didn’t like having any skin on that arm. This is going to suck.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:47 am
Fink6: He can’t “find zombie April’s Grandma”, since April’s Grandma (I’m assuming) has been dead for many years, thus would not be able to be zombified. The zombification can only infect living people, though it kills them. You can’t dig up a corpse and make it a zombie. Plus, she probably died of old age, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to hit that.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:52 am
Can’t wait to see the end of it an to finally see the Movie!!
Very awesome comic, checking my RSS-Feed almost every hour for an update ^^
Gotta congratulate you for the last to panels where April is talking while she’s preparing to kill TFZ. When I first saw this I was like: “Great~ Why did she have to open her mouth?! Now he’ll notice and will still live on”.
If you let TFZ now get staked by April now, you somehow brake some cliche I’ve seen way too often.
Great work and great art!!!
November 26th, 2007 at 8:09 am
First of all, super awesome comic. Found this by chance and hoo boy am I glad I found it. I hope if LB’s movie version is finished, that it’ll show in Estonian theaters too >.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:17 am
“He can’t “find zombie April’s Grandmaâ€, since April’s Grandma (I’m assuming) has been dead for many years, thus would not be able to be zombified.”
Actually, April’s grandma is a 90 year old zombie. If I remember correctly.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:40 am
Thanks Anko. My point still stands (I meant to mention that if she was still alive when the zombie horde came through, she’d be OOOLLD).
Now, if he was REALLY sick, he’d turn April into a vampire so she’d be young and pretty forever, and keep the children alive to feed her. And make it so she has to do what he wants to get blood from them to end the torment of blood starvation.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:48 am
Man, it’s hard to catch up on comments and comics after being gone for a few days. It’s almost not worth the effort to read all of the comments (key word being “almost”). At least I got to read 3 comic strips one after the other!!
November 26th, 2007 at 9:53 am
oooooooooooooh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!! man April has balls!!! I would have barfed all over him @_@
November 26th, 2007 at 11:26 am
“I can see D getting out pretty fast. Only one chain on her.”
She was blessed with flight, not strength.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:35 am
Alright lets start taking bets on what happens to Sullivan!
I think after he saves everyone from the rampaging zombie horde that he stats a worldwide campeign to eliminate the zombie threat! or at least the Tri-State area.
Or maybe he sets off the one last nuke it would take to Ignore the earths atmosphere! just for kicks and Bobby has lied to us about them living all along. OR along the lines of Boby lieing he comes saves Francis kills all the humans and Vampires and lives peacufully in a Zombified world…. eh heheh puny humans. that would make a fun alt. ending for the movie! Everyone dies! huzzah!
November 26th, 2007 at 11:45 am
Since the vampires are chained to the zombies, and though blood drained they have rested, I’m betting they will swing the armored zombies around, smashing the rest till Sullivan gets here.
At least Rage will.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
Err… i do not think that it is possible for a nuke to ignite earths atmosphere… since then whenever one went off, the atmosphere would ignite and we would have been dead a while ago.
Also i believe Bobby said that Mac got to live to an old age, which would rule out all of the humans dying off in the next few days… And since it is his story, I doubt that he would be lying to us about that.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
One question. I thought we had verified that (1) Val had a poor sense of smell, compared to Math’s anyway, (2) that Val turned WLB into a Vampire and (3) you only had a good sense of smell if your “creator” did. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
November 26th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Where is Addison’s briefcase? Seriously, enough with the zombie sex jokes, what happened to that briefcase, will that kill all the zombies or cure them? That is what I want to know.
Granted, zombie sex is an interesting conundrum.
November 26th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
April is brave, I know i coudlnt get over my zombiephobia to do that! *shudders* I cant wait to see how it ends~! awsome writing~!
November 26th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
“Plus, she probably died of old age, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to hit that.”
She died in the tornado.
“Val had a poor sense of smell, compared to Math’s anyway”
Huh? Never. She has the best sense of smell of any vampire ever.
“Am I missing something?”
Yes.
November 26th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
anyone else notice where Francisas hand is in the sixth panel?
ass grope!
November 26th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
“She died in the tornado.”
Whoops, my bad. I am such an idiot. I just keep spurting nonsense lately. I think I better go revamp the FAQ (no pun intended) sometime soon to make up for all my wrongdoings – namely being sympathetic with Francis. I need a change of attitude. DIE, FRANCIS, DIE!
November 26th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
Wow! Go April! I found the “YOu smell just like her” thing to be quite creepy, but still…I love this! ^^
I like April’s expression in the last pannel; she’s like, “YOu’re going to die, Bitch!”
WLB is creepy, like that creepy teacher everyone thinks is a baby eater.
November 26th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
I’d be jamming that stake up my own nose if I were her. Then, I guess the entire world smells like putrid corpses right now, so that room might not seem too bad to them anymore.
November 26th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
I’m kinda expecting to see WLB look at her as if se was an idiot or something… that’s just me though…
November 26th, 2007 at 7:22 pm
By the way, another big reason for why Francis wouldn’t worry too much about anything she does is because he thinks his job is to some extent already completely done and the battle won, even if he dies right now. Because he knows that if he dies, all his zombies will still almost certainly kill the remaining humans and the vampires will at the very best (for the vampires) MAYBE break free from their chains and commit suicide (and some would choose to just go through the torture anyway), which is a pretty good worst case scenario for Francis, killing all the vampires, even if they don’t all go through the torture.
Also, even if the humans miraculously somehow survive, he knows that there’s not enough of them to repopulate society for very long and that all the vampires will die within a few hundred years or whatever anyway, so he feels like practically NO MATTER WHAT he has ALREADY killed every vampire on Earth.
Often repeated spoiler: He is of course wrong, however.
November 26th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
ew hes like grabbing her ass…. Anyway I cant wait to see what happens even thought most of the people I liked are dead D’:, its about time April got some fighting action
November 26th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
“(and some would choose to just go through the torture anyway)”
Namely, Rage XD
November 26th, 2007 at 8:33 pm
god, let us hope rage never goes through it. last thing we need is a big crazy zombie.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
” last thing we need is a big crazy zombie. ”
…We don’t already have a big crazy zombie? o_O
November 26th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
““Val had a poor sense of smell, compared to Math’s anywayâ€
Huh? Never. She has the best sense of smell of any vampire ever.
“Am I missing something?â€
Yes. ”
Um, in comic 20 ( http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/02/07/page-20-sick/ ) it is implied Val doesn’t know where the zombies are and I thought there was a mention in the comments somewhere suggesting Math had the strongest sense of smell for blood… but to be fair at any rate it makes sense Val has (had?) a strong sense of smell because we know she turned Math, who most certainly does have a strong sense of smell.
November 26th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
“She was blessed with flight, not strength.”
I think what they meant was that when the zombies let go mand start munching on the humans, there won’t be anything stopping devian from flying out the window. I can bet this has already been addressed, but wouldn’t the zombies eat the vampires? why chase someone across the room when theres a meal all chained up standing next to you?
November 26th, 2007 at 10:07 pm
“Um, in comic 20 it is implied Val doesn’t know where the zombies are”
Uh, no, it’s not, at all. Don’t know what else to say. Why do you think anything in that page implies that Val doesn’t know where the zombies are? Math is simply telling her that it’s OK to let her go and not treat the humans like cattle who can’t go where they want because there aren’t any in the area, but there’s no reason to think that that means she doesn’t know where they are. She hates humans in general and probably would have grabbed any human’s arm who was running out of a room after shooting a vampire even if there were no zombies on Earth. Math simply reminded her of a good reason for why at this moment they can act nice and not go manhandling the humans.
“I thought there was a mention in the comments somewhere suggesting Math had the strongest sense of smell for blood…”
Many people in the comments have wrongly assumed like you that Val had a poor sense of smell because of Page 20 and because she “didn’t smell” the zombies coming through the tunnel (she did smell them, but chose to do nothing about it because she was planning to kill herself anyway, thinking it was hopeless, as the comic explained). It’s possible (maybe, not sure) that I previously (long time ago) said Math had the best sense of smell, but I don’t think I ever said Val had a poor sense of smell. All that matters is what’s in the comic anyway.
D.B.: Like vampires, zombies only want human blood, and they can sense the difference.

Wouldn’t TFZ see through the other hundred or so zombies in the room what april was about to do to him? He must have to keep some connection active with them to actively get them to not kill the humans.
November 26th, 2007 at 11:26 pm
He only can see through their eyes if he specifically chooses to, and that’s on the difficult side. Too busy concentrating on just telling all of them not to move to then also look through their eyes — and he doesn’t see any reason to do that, as I’ve already explained at length.
November 27th, 2007 at 12:04 am
…I realized something a little while ago but just now remembered it.
POOR SULLIVAN. Jeez, he goes through 65 years of torture to stop Francis and then his granddaughter kills him. Sooo…basically, those 65 years were for nothing.
Kinda sucks.
November 27th, 2007 at 12:06 am
Definitely wasn’t for nothing, as you’ll see! As my blog post and many of these comments have explained in detail, killing TFZ by itself doesn’t do them much good, since they’re surrounded by a million zombies. Think of it as sort of being like Frodo and Sam destroying the ring, but then the mountain blows up and they’re gonna die anyway (until the eagles save them).
November 27th, 2007 at 12:23 am
Oh! Yay! Glad that he didn’t become a zombie for nothing. I’m guessing that means that his zombies’ll be kicking the other zombies arses?
Rock on. =D
November 27th, 2007 at 1:01 am
Anko, I love the fan comic. Very nice. I think it’s sad that a so called “fan-comic” has better drawn backgrounds than the actual comic does though. Embarrassing for me. Keep up the great work.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:24 am
I run a forum D&D game, and I have a related question. If I feature Zombies in the game can I please ‘borrow’ fragments of your artwork?
November 27th, 2007 at 2:21 am

What sketches? Where? Link please?
November 27th, 2007 at 3:54 am
From the original post up there below the comic: “Click the button to see my mouse drawn MS Paint sketch of this page!” Click that TWC voting button up there and confirm your vote to see the sketch.
November 27th, 2007 at 4:57 am
Owen is right – Anko – you do quite an excelent job drawing the fancomic. Cheers for you!
November 27th, 2007 at 6:12 am
Another reason TFWLB wouldn’t ’see’ April through the other zombies eyes? His attention is riveted on other things; like what he’s got a handful of.
Sweet comic Bobby and Owen, it’s the one I feel a compulsion to check for updates every time I go online.
[]IIIIII[]
November 27th, 2007 at 8:23 am
Thanks for the compliments, Owen and Sim^mon. When I draw the fan comic, I try to give it my best shot. Needless to say, my best shot at writing is a lot worse than my best shot at drawing. Blah.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Bobby, I been thinking about trying my hand at a webcomic myself, and the primary lesson I’ve learned is I don’t want a comment section… for every intelligent, and well thought out comment, 97 idiots (slight exaggeration of course) tell you that you’re doing your own comic wrong… Anyways, keep up the awesome comic.
P.S. To all you people that continually try to correct the writer, You’re Wrong, before you even post your thought, YOU ARE WRONG!
Other P.S. Zombie Sex. Why? For the love of all things good and holy must we all hear about Zombie Sex? Whoever said it makes thier brain bleed, I second that motion!
November 27th, 2007 at 9:30 am
Actually, I wasn’t missing anything. I was erroneously relying on the following two comments from Bobby:
Bobby Crosby Says:
March 21st, 2007 at 2:03 pm
“why does she ask how many are inside? i thought vampires in this story had amazing sensory capabilities regarding blood.â€
Not all of them, no. Math is the best at that among them all, and the flying vampires were short changed on most of the other powers. Devian isn’t a very good figther either.
Bobby Crosby Says:
April 14th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Page 34 explains the Mac situation –
http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/03/23/page-34-flight/
Also, not all vampires can smell blood as well as Math. He’s one of the best at that. Val isn’t very good at it at all.
It is fine of course for Bobby to have changed his mind on that point.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:41 am
Ha, crazy, don’t remember that at all. Anyway, it wasn’t until a few months ago when I decided that Val had the best sense of smell, and the comic’s never said otherwise. Things I’ve said in comments have changed before, like how I previously said Sullivan Davis was going to be the big bad guy.
“Actually, I wasn’t missing anything.”
Yes, you were. You seem to only for some reason remember the comments from over seven months ago when I said Math had the best sense of smell, but you don’t remember the MANY comments in recent months/weeks when I’ve said that Val had the best sense of smell.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Hey people, don’t act as mindless zealots, remember that this is JUST A COMIC. On top of that, IT’S BOBBY’S COMIC AND HE HAS THE LAST WORD.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:47 am
Mindless zealots? were more like cultists
All hail Bobby!
November 27th, 2007 at 9:56 am
wow. lots of comments. Love the graphic novel.
I’m going to guess that Schamaeics can be killed. Francis hasn’t healed Murdo’s headshot and his face and body exhibit signs of decomposition. I’m thinking that if he could heal himself he would have done so by now.
And yeah – he would be absolutely insane after 65 years of being chained up in a coffin at the bottom of the ocean and suffering hunger pains.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:57 am
“Actually, April’s grandma is a 90 year old zombie. If I remember correctly.”
I’d really like to see April’s reaction when (or rather if) she meets her zombie grandma. It would probably be even funnier than Murdo’s reaction when the fact finally hits him that he and his grandfather both had sex with the same woman.
“you act all hurt when you’re insulted in the same manner? ”
I was commenting on your rudeness. I never said that I was hurt by it. I was simply noting the fact that what you said was gratuitously rude. Anyway, I apologised for my mistake regarding animals; I though you just said that human vampires/zombies could not turn animals, and I was discussing the posibility of spearate strains of vampirism that would affect only animals. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
Is April going to stake TFZ in the back? If she is, the spine and rear ribcage (which I think is stronger than the front of the rib cage, because there is more bone and less cartilige) might present a bit of a problem. I hope this means the staking scene will be extra gory.
I anxiously await the next comic. When will it be up? (I did a search for the word ‘next’ on this page in case anyone already asked. If this question has already been asked, I apologise in advance. At least it would give you another excuse to be rude, which you seem to enjoy.)
November 27th, 2007 at 10:09 am
“I was commenting on your rudeness. I never said that I was hurt by it. I was simply noting the fact that what you said was gratuitously rude.”
What the fuck? You called a nice person on these comments an idiot and insulted them greatly out of nowhere and your reason for that was because they simply didn’t notice some things from the comic/comments, something that you yourself were even more guilty of and something that you continued to be guilty of in your latest comment just now multiple times. You also said something about how I’d be even more rude to that nice person if I responded to it, which was just sickening. In response to this I said the nicest thing possible: “LOL. Your previous comment was filled with at least 50 times more idiocy than any other comment on this page, Herb.” If you think that’s me being “gratuitously rude,” you clearly haven’t read or comprehended anything I’ve ever said in these comments. Any comments of yours longer than 10 words will be deleted from now on. You’re too damn stupid to say more than 10 words and annoy everyone here with your nonsense.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Just got the script for the next page. It is awesome. Should be up by tonight or tomorrow morning.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:23 am
“Yes, you were. You seem to only for some reason remember the comments from over seven months ago when I said Math had the best sense of smell, but you don’t remember the MANY comments in recent months/weeks when I’ve said that Val had the best sense of smell.”
Although I certainly do not expect you to pay attention to or remember my posts, I said yesterday that I had only had the time to read all the comments up to about page 45 or so (and that there were very helpful in explaining alot of the subtext that I had missed), so yes, I had read the comment where you explicitly said that Val had a poor sense of smell, and no I have not yet seen the comment(s) where you had decided that she had the best sense of smell. I will read the remaining comments before easking any other impertinant questions.
I also acknowledged that it was certainly your prerogative to change your mind on that score. I agree that nothing in the actual story disproves it although, I, like certain other readers, interepreted the story to mean that Val did not have a great sense of smell.
I would also suggest that although the Vampires refer to it as a smell, and seem to use it the same way that humans use their sense of smell, that it is actually a supernatural sense that does not actually rely on detecting molecules that wafted their way over hundreds of miles. As you said in one of your early comments, allowing Vampires to instantly “smell” something hundreds of miles away “seems like a bit much.”
November 27th, 2007 at 10:35 am
“I, like certain other readers, interepreted the story to mean that Val did not have a great sense of smell.”
On Page 101 Addison says that Val had the best sense of smell, so I guess that cleared it up.
“As you said in one of your early comments, allowing Vampires to instantly ’smell’ something hundreds of miles away ’seems like a bit much.’ ”
From Page 21 –
—————
“Seriously, that sounds like a bit too much. Hundreds of miles?â€
It’s pretty much the only way the story works properly, so I had to do it. It’s not like anyone knows what vampires can do anyway, but yeah, seems a bit much.
—————
November 27th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Guys, not being writers yourselves, you need to understand one key thing here: Bobby Crosby is GOD, as far as the story is concerned. If Bobby changes his mind and makes Val better at sniffing than Math, that’s fine. If he changes his mind and makes Mac an effeminate android, that’s kinda queer but again, his call. The past of the story is clay in his verbal hands. He can retcon anything he wants if it makes the story work.
Vampires smelling things on the other side of the world: Here’s an idea. Suppose this is another, sixth sense that Vampires have, which their brains just convert to “smell” so they can understand it, what with Vampires not actually growing another sensory organ when they’re turned. You know how sometimes you see something disgusting, like Mike Rowe in a room that’s got piles of human feces standing four feet high, and you can almost smell/taste it? None of us (I hope to God) actually have human waste in our noses or mouths, but that bizarre almost-sensation is still there. Perhaps the Vampire Blood-Smelling is something like that.
November 27th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Oh goody, a climax
November 27th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
If it’s a 6th sense or something supernatural it makes it easier to accept to my mind the extreme limits of the ability. Could that also be tied into the classic Vampire aversion to running water? Water seems to be the only thing on earth that can block the sense of smell.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
“On Page 101 Addison says that Val had the best sense of smell, so I guess that cleared it up.”
Sort of. I don’t think the comic confirms who made him a vampire until 104, which is just one page ago. (not counting your comments of course) AFP just said “The Vampire who turned him.” But yeah, I get it.
The part of the story that I had been “interpreting” was the earlier parts of it as opposed the most recent exposition, and obviously, you thought along those lines at some time too (although perhaps that was when you were really sick and on medication, I cannot remeber, but I hope you are better now).
And no one is questioning who controls this story. It is obviously Bobby, and I think he is doing a great job. But I think it is fair to point out the parts of the story that are more difficult to swallow (and yeah, I know this is story about Vampires and Zombies) so that Bobby might tighten it up a bit in the screen play. Bobby himself has told us many times that he was unhappy with parts of the story.
BTW, I really like “Marry Me” too.
November 27th, 2007 at 1:19 pm
“I’m curious…..if you have sex with a zombie, does that make you a zombie”
no it makes you a necrophiliac
November 27th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
How soon would the zombies react after TFZ dies?
Instantly….or would it take them a bit of time to realize it.
November 27th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
*brain explosion* AWESOME!!!!!
November 27th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
hmmm Why let the children live…. Just to keep her Happy?

‘We don’t already have a big crazy zombie?’
No. We have a puny little whiny zombie.
‘And yeah – he would be absolutely insane after 65 years of being chained up in a coffin at the bottom of the ocean and suffering hunger pains.’
It has been stated before: ‘After the 65 years of torture, something clicks, and they wake up with their mind intact as a schaemiac ready to go kill’. I might have paraphrased a bit, but that’s the gist of it.
‘I’d really like to see April’s reaction when (or rather if) she meets her zombie grandma’
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t her grandmother die in the tornado?
November 27th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
“How soon would the zombies react after TFZ dies?

Instantly, it’s like a dog that breaks free from its leash.

Let it be tonight please!!!
November 27th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
need more Rage, i wanna see him eat another zombie
November 27th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
wow. okay. few things here
1)EW ZOMBIE SEX, please stop considering it. You have to have a form of sentience (I’m guessing here) to have sex and the urge to. Zombies don’t need to reproduce, they just bite people and the person is a zombie. Thus meaning sex is unesscary so speculating on it, and necrophallia is fairly disgusting.
2) Ok, April’s gonna kill TFZ, he’s going to be all shocked by he died or somesuch, and despite all that TFZ will win? I know this sounds thick, and I apologize to Bobby Crosby for being so thick about it, but if the zombies run when under serious focus from TFZ, or an urge to kill humans for food so to speak, why don’t they hunt other animals? Blood is blood, right?
3) not much more to say but PLEASE people chill out. Insulting each other does nothing to conclude your arguments but makes them more fired up and spamming the page. That is all.
BTW, I lied, this is all:This comic=FOR THE WIN. Seriously, if a movie of this gets made, I’D watch it and I hate zombie movies usually.
November 27th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
The only question I have about this page is why was WLB willing to let the children live along with April? Was that to make her more cooperative?
November 27th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
Maybe it’s because they are children that pose no threat to him, are afraid and have no idea of whats going on?
November 27th, 2007 at 5:27 pm
And maybe… it is some sign of admiration and gratitutde towards April, trying to impress her – “You see, I am something more than a WLB
.” The last two chapters reveal Francis’s human side, and that’s really cool.
For sure, these kids are no threat to him.
November 27th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

“Could that also be tied into the classic Vampire aversion to running water? Water seems to be the only thing on earth that can block the sense of smell.”
Nothing blocks the smelling ability of vampires, as has been said many times.
“I don’t think the comic confirms who made him a vampire until 104, which is just one page ago.”
Uh, obviously — what’s your point? My point is that when looking back at the book as a whole you can clearly see that Page 101 is when Addison confirmed that Val had the best sense of smell. Also, that was 103, not 104.
“The part of the story that I had been ‘interpreting’ was the earlier parts of it as opposed the most recent exposition, and obviously, you thought along those lines at some time too”
At no point whatsoever did the comic even imply, in my opinion, that Val had a bad sense of smell. Lots of people often assume things about the story and early on people said they thought Val had a bad sense of smell, and at the time it didn’t matter to me if she did or not, so I said things like, “Yeah, hers is worse than Math’s” or whatever it was I said. That has changed. How are we still discussing this???
“But I think it is fair to point out the parts of the story that are more difficult to swallow (and yeah, I know this is story about Vampires and Zombies) so that Bobby might tighten it up a bit in the screen play.”
Please explain to me how anything on this subject (Val’s sense of smell) could be changed for the better in the story. It’s a mostly pointless thing (other than to briefly explain that vampire traits are passed on to the people they turn) and there are zero inconsistencies or problems with it in the comic. If you’re suggesting that vampires should not be able to smell for hundreds of miles, then you’re suggesting I throw the whole comic in the trash, because the story doesn’t work without that, as I’ve explained many times. Any complaints about the specific issue of Val’s sense of smell make zero sense whatsoever.
“Bobby himself has told us many times that he was unhappy with parts of the story.”
I have zero problems with the smelling situation.
CrazyJaylbird: I suggest reading Page 105.
Grym (and others): Control-F for “tornado” on this page.
“The only question I have about this page is why was WLB willing to let the children live along with April? Was that to make her more cooperative?”
Yes, but he’s lying. He’s not really going to keep them alive, or at least not for very long.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:13 pm

I was thinking of when TFZ first hid himself in the ocean, you’ve mentioned efforts were made to find him. Does the Vampire scent fade early on in the Schamaeicing process, or did AFP not have the super smelling power? Sorry I’m still working my way through the comments, I think I might have even read the answer to that but I can’t remember exactly.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
I quoted the running water Q&A at the start of the above post but it removed itself.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
This has been discussed at length recently. Smell gone after two weeks without blood, because then you don’t have any more blood, which is why the pain starts too. Val didn’t tell anyone of importance about the Francis situation until it was too late. All of this will be seen in the sequel.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
To Lazarus:
Bobby talked about it earlier on page 100, http://www.lastblood.net/main/2007/11/16/page-100-the-oath/#comment-9942
Its his reply shortly after i asked a similar question. Essentially after 2 weeks, all of the blood is gone, so the vampires cannot smell him anymore.
November 27th, 2007 at 6:42 pm
Huh… my internet must like glitching… I refreshed the page about a minute before I posted that comment, and Bobby’s comment did not come up, but of course now after i post, his comment was up for 6 minutes before mine… cursed internet glitches…
November 27th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
I’m just wondering, will Last Blood be available in graphic novel format once it’s completed? And if so, will it be available before Christmas? I’d like to buy a few copies for my friends, and one for myself!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:11 pm
Full graphic novel will be in stores in April. Signed copies will be available to purchase from this site in late March probably. Issue #4 (Pages 81-112) will be in stores in late December/early January.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
Who the fuck cares about Val’s sense of smell? My god the comments are fucking idiotic today.
Haven’t commented in a while, but checking in to say that recent pages are rocking hard. Sad to say that my local comic shop went belly-up, so I may be ordering via the website from now on.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
What….she’s wearing short sleeves! How the hell did she conceal a stake without sleeves THE WHOLE TIME?!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
@xXAjaxXx
Copied from Bobby’s blog post above: “Also, to anyone who might say that Francis would have seen the stake, along with many other things I could say to that (like “No, he wouldn’tâ€), he didn’t think a stake could kill him — thought nothing could kill him as a First Zombie, especially after taking that bullet to the brain.”
November 27th, 2007 at 8:57 pm
What’s this “whole time” shit? Probably had it in her back pocket until taping it to her arm when TFZ’s back was turned to her in the preceding moments. And read my blog post under the comic — he wouldn’t even care about her having a stake for like a trillion reasons, including many that aren’t covered in the blog post.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
Curious question. What time zone are you in, so when you say “comic up tonight,” we know when “tonight” ends?
November 27th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
Bobby is in PST – Pacific Standard Time. That’s GMT – 8 hours.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
Thank you. That means I’ll read it tomorrow. Remember kids, when you get to college, don’t let them give you 5 classes in one day before 2. It’s not fun.
November 27th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
speaking of sequels Booby, what exactley do you have planned, like beside from all the zombies what can you really do
November 27th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
Try reading the blog posts under each comic page, like for 102 especially. There’s literally a trillion things to do and it could go on for the next 3,000 years. Tough part was deciding what story to tell in the first sequel/prequel out of a billion options. I’ve also talked at length about all this in the comments a million times. Google “sequel” and “lastblood.net” and you’ll probably find tons of things.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
So how did you decided that this was the story that you wanted to focus on? I mean, was this always the first story you wanted to tell and from there onward you were going to decide how it would play out?
I just find the concept unique, so I would love to know your inspiration.
November 27th, 2007 at 10:12 pm
Wonderful. Decided. I’ll make a college student out of myself.
I apologise for the double post.

Hey, you know, if someone is actually willing to do a good translation into Spanish, you should accept, especially with the caveat that “you’re welcome to do whatever you want with it.” Even if all you do is post it as a pdf file from a link on your site, it will help primarily Spanish Speakers enjoy your comic better. And who knows – if it takes off, and/or if you get an offer to publish it in Spanish, you may well make some money tapping into that huge audience. And, it may help make your movie more popular among that population. You never know, and what could it hurt. If nothing else, it’s a generous offer. Seems like you blew it off a bit hastily. My advice is – if the Spanish-speaking fan actually goes through with it, post up the text file (have him put the translation in a page-by-page format, for ease of going back and forth from pictures to print) and see what kind of numbers you get in the the downloads. If it turns out to be a large number, you’ll know you might actually tap into some money. And, you never know when another fan may come along that’s willing to host a Spanish mirror site for you. To the translating fan – if you want to give it a try, and don’t like your own handwriting, my advice is to use word processing and use one of the comic fonts. There are many available for free. . such as here: http://www.acidfonts.com/freefonts/i_hate_comic_sans.htm
And as people would know that it’s a translation, done for free, it’s not like it would have to be perfect. English tends to be more efficient that most other languages (not a value judgement, it just does tend to be able to say the same thing with fewer letters), so you might have to abbreviate or squish stuff in. That’s just the way it goes, and you just have to do the best you can. It’s a worthy effort, though, and I think it would be worth it to bring this great story to a huge new audience…
Might even be a worthwhile project to help kids learning English/Spanish!
Keep up the good work. I think this is a great story – and I’m not even a zombie fan!
If you want to watch a fun SF take on the zombie meme, though (while waiting for Last Blood to come out, of course!) check out a B+ grade movie called Night of the Comet.
It’s the original “save the cheerleader!” story!
ciao folks…

“So how did you decided that this was the story that you wanted to focus on? I mean, was this always the first story you wanted to tell and from there onward you were going to decide how it would play out?”
This was the only story to tell originally. The tough decision was about the first SEQUEL. Obviously a trillion stories to tell there, like the full story of how TFZ killed everyone in the world could be a GN by itself, along with the story of the first 30 days for the survivors at the school before the vampires showed up and dozens of stories relating to the vampires trying to save humans in those 30 days. Life story of Addison Payne might be a good read, along with Rage, a very popular character who will possibly get his own series down the road. And then of course there is the actual normal sequels that could go on forever, really, of how humanity survives from now on, and they won’t be even close to out of the woods yet as the first GN ends. The decision at the moment is to do half normal sequel, continuing on with the survivors here, and half prequel with flashbacks from Sullivan’s perspective mostly to why this all happened, the early life of Francis and Sullivan.
Kerinbot: About 20 different people have asked to do translations of various comics of mine, including several LB translations, and no one other than Krasno has ever even thought to ask for me or anyone other than themselves to do the re-lettering, since that would just be crazy for us to spend time doing that. At least six people are currently translating “+EV” into different languages, doing all the work themselves, and someone is also translating LB into Portugese (?), I think it is. I’ve linked to it in the blog here before — not sure if they’re still doing it.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:52 am
meh, in my opinion, i just dont like the way this comic is headed…it seems a little too (hmm whats the word) bland…. the first few issues were great but this one is kinda wierd. dont take offense to this, i just wanted to express myself
November 28th, 2007 at 7:32 am

i’ve been up all night working on my term paper… i’m hoping to be rewarded with an update!
November 28th, 2007 at 7:51 am
30$ says the next update doesn’t come up for another 7 hours.
November 28th, 2007 at 9:05 am
well, i can wait till noon, then i have to go to class…
November 28th, 2007 at 9:14 am
If I wasn’t broke I would take you up on that offer, Anko. I don’t mind the wait, though. The recent update binge has left me with plenty to read (all those comments xp)
November 28th, 2007 at 9:15 am
Christ this is killing me. UPDATE!
November 28th, 2007 at 10:33 am
Me too – I hope to lay my eyes on the update before I’m too tired to stay up any longer…
November 28th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Quit whining. They’ll finish the comic when they finish it. You’re getting it for free, so stop acting like it’s entitled to you.
November 28th, 2007 at 11:24 am
lol. so true… although there are some of us that buy the comic anyway… i have all 3 so far and the sketch cover of #3. its nice owning your own comic store.

Technically isn’t it entitled to the fans?
I’m pretty sure the Pimperiffic hard work isn’t something that he is just gonna put on a shelf and say “Well that was fun…….Damn I’m bored.”
On a side note I hope Mohawk vampire appears in sequels/prequels because he is by far my favorite character. (Actually made him into a character in Rock Band)

Update later today. This next page is complex and is taking a while. I’ll try and at least start 106 tonight as well. We basically have to finish in little over a week so updates should keep up at a fair pace.

Do you guys feel pressured by the deadline on the page count? I mean… the last several pages have felt a little rushed. I was hoping for a little more interaction between TFZ and Murdo, and perhaps a longer monologue from TFZ himself.
It’s clear he’s going to die, but what would be lovely is for TFZ not to die until he watches his old buddy Sullivan Davis actually upstage him once again. If he knew that he failed, it’d be what he deserved.

I wish I had a credit card to buy the comics…
November 28th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
“Do you guys feel pressured by the deadline on the page count?”
I’ve said that like 4,000 times, yeah, including in the blog posts directly under the comics. It sucks, but it’s also good in a couple ways.
November 28th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
@Krasno I live in Mexico, so even if I have credit card I can’t use WOWIO
I’m dying here I need the update!!!!
Bobby and Owen, you guys rox
November 28th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
New page between 6 and 9 PM Pacific probably (98% chance).
November 28th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Thanks for the update man, great comic.

After reading the first comments about having sex with zombies (which I think is gross), I remembered a webcomic called hockey zombie where it’s “explained”, LOL, even if nobody is talking about zombie sex right now, I just had to give a link to the comic.
I dunno if I can post links to another webcomics, since I can’t find any kind of rules about posting comments (I might be that stupid, you tell me), I guess that you could just erase this post.
Here goes nothing.

In some pages they talk about god and/or satan. In case you are offended by religious matters you shouldn’t read it all.
It’s one of the latest pages, cuz, I don’t remember when it was “explained” first.
Sorry if my grammar sucks D:
November 28th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
YAY!!
November 28th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
YAY!! I R uber Excited for New page, Plus i love all the random zombie songs ive been hearing randomly lol.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Oweeen! when are you going to post the new page? Im bursting at the seams here lol.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
i’m pretty sure bobby thought about selling crack at one point, then realized this comic would be more addictive.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Wow, she really does have stickarm disease.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
I wonder if I can get a pair of glasses like Payne’s… I want some!
November 28th, 2007 at 6:13 pm
Page sent. Could be up within an hour or two.

^—I got bored, so I decided to edit the first panel a bit. Hope you guys dun’ mind.

…You’re kidding about April benching 240, right?
Also, serious question (and I made sure to Google this one first): What does a hermetic seal do to a vampire’s sense of smell? Do they somehow smell past it? I suppose that would mean that a vampire’s sense of smell is more supernatural than physical, which has been strongly implied by the already-stated potency of said sense of smell.
Although I guess we’ve all heard the aphorism about real physics and fantasy stories.
November 28th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
LOL cat
November 28th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
wow kudos cat it’s not just sick twisted humor but indeed fits him as well.
November 28th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
I bet 40$ on me having the first post on the next page. Well, actually, scratch that. I don’t have 40$. Instead, if anyone bets against me and wins, I can totally feature them in the fan comic or something. Or do some art for them. Or something.
November 28th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
April: IT’S JUST BEEN REVOKED!
Math: Uh, April, he-he really didn’t set you up for that Lethal Weapon line. It really doesn’t work here.
April: oh…I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING!
Math: That’s…better.

“You smell like grandma”
Weirdest pick up line ever

“Also, serious question (and I made sure to Google this one first): What does a hermetic seal do to a vampire’s sense of smell?”
I’ve said a million times that absolutely nothing stops them from smelling, other than going past their individual maximum distance, of course.

MJK…that was a great episode.

Ohkay, I gotta say something about the stake on her arm. Wouldn’t it be a lot safer, and more practical to have the pointy end facing the other way?
I mean, the way its facing, she would have to constantly keep her arm from bending, lest it go right through her joint…and wouldn’t you be suspicious of someone with their arm stiff?….and string around said arm? unless maybe he though it was um…watchamacallits..a splint, i think.
Not trying to criticise, just observing and noting.
Of course this could probably all be chalked up to the fact that its harder to draw these sorts of things than it sounds.

THIS IS THE BEST PAGE SO FAR!
