These are Obsticons! Or rather that’s what I called them when I was a kid. Derivative of some 80s kidvid trademarks, no? (They are not called this in the actual strip.) You can’t tell in black and white, but they’re green. They’re essentially Oscar the Grouches in spacesuits. And, yeah, they’re zombies.
It’s this moment here where the value in having Danny around is apparent. He’s just a mundane, stuck here on this zany space adventure. It’s actually more fun with him here, if you can believe it.
“OMG OMG OMG OMG SPAAAAAAAACE”
*turns around*
“Zombies.”
Meh. Whatcha gonna do?
Those astronaut zombies are clearly bad boyz.
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? (Hopefully run away)
oh no it’s a ZAMBO
He’s the Arthur Dent of the group. Always good for deadpan humor.
My favorite humour.
If Danny is Arthur Dent, then who’s the Ford Prefect of the group?
Joe, as the best friend who knows more about what’s really going on and is the one who drags him into this (even if he’s more reluctant about it).
Ultra Car is Zaphod. I look forward to seeing how her galactic presidence goes.
Ah, drawing on green-bar paper. I miss the good old days.
Zombies with astronaut helmets and suits don’t seem quite as… intimidating. Like, they can’t bite or scratch you? How does that even work?
Hey who turned out the lights?
