HOOPER’S A ZOMBIE!

This week of strips was written by the real life people that Squad 37 is based upon. Like, I don’t know zombie movies from a hole in the ground, but everyone in this Squad did, and they had the entire thing planned out for themselves, from order of death to their final words. They wanted me to get this right. So I kind of just drew their self-fiction or whatever, really.
What a great friend you are, Willis!
Ha, I’ve been waiting to see if the real-life Hooper will show up. I’m curious what he thought of this particular development.
… although come to think of it, “flesh-eating zombie” really isn’t the worst characterization he’s had so far in this strip.
I’m not going to lie I like this deconstruction, because fuck horror movie stereotypes.
So Squad 37 won’t be showing up in DoA, then?
Hasn’t Hooper been a zombie for a while before this story arc? Did they just not notice that earlier?
Maybe Hooper had small zombie outbursts that nobody noticed or they thought it was part of his behaviour.
I mean, he was a much less lethal zombie.
This is interesting. I knew this arc felt very different from the rest of the series, but not why.
