Zombies...

I've been debating adding Zombie characters to my comic strip... Personally, I think zombies can be pretty funny (the slow moving kind, not the modern "fast" kind) but I am somewhat hesitant due to the fact that they're everywhere these days.


I'm thinking that having a few shambling zombie-types would might be funny, they could shamble off to work, shamble back home later, shamble up to the bar perhaps... and generally just sort of hang out. I'm kinda modeling them after hippies, although I don't mean it in some sort of annoying preachy way or anything like that and there isn't really a moral or message here, just animated corpses shambling about their business. I don't think they'll eat brains though, maybe they'll be morally opposed to brains, or they'll want to avoid conforming to stereotypes...

Since they'd be part of the neighborhood, I wonder where they'd live... In an abandoned church? An empty crypt in a Tim Burton-esque graveyard? Or do they just have a house, or a mobile home?
