La Petite Mort

Just when you think that there is no possible way to find anything original to say in the zombie genre, somebody always comes along and proves me wrong. I’m not even sure if it’s accurate to call these undead people zombies in the usual sense of the word, but I’m getting ahead of myself. This mini is told from the perspective of various people who saw a strange phenomenon start off first-hand. Um, and that may be an unfortunate choice of phrase. Anyway, it all started with an EMT who came across a drunk driver. He died on the way to the hospital, but after he died he looked at her and started masturbating. After he died. Then we get stories from other people with the same experience, in both male and female dead people, with the scientific world being flummoxed. I say that these aren’t the usual zombies because they had no interest in eating people, they were only interested in masturbation. Well, science started studying the problem and they eventually stumbled into a solution, and what a fantastic solution it was. I’ll say no more, as it’s up to all you good folks who aren’t afraid of a picture of a penis to buy this comic in support, but I’ll be damned if Russell didn’t handle it perfectly. I haven’t seen his name before (that I know of, it all tends to be a bit of blur around here), but this comic is professional as can be. If he’s just getting started everybody should give him a burst of encouragement, and if he’s done a few comics that I just haven’t seen then he also deserves further encouragement. Give him your $2 either way is what I’m saying. Also, if you really hurry this would make a fantastic stocking stuffer for any overly religious relatives that are bugging you excessively around the holidays…
