10-26-2026 is a Monday… seems like a good day for Zombie Roomie to come out of hiatus.

It’s an anniversary day for the comic. First ZR was uploaded on that date in 2009.

Conversations with a zombie

I was working on a Zombie-man strip but it just wasn't coming together... I wasn't happy with the art or the joke. So I went into the idea bin and pulled out this. The idea of talking to a zombie about television rotting your brain goes all the way back to the first few setups that spawned Zombie Roomie.... it was just more along the lines of George responding something like, "Nah, it just tenderizes it." But when I started in on this as a one panel, the idea of an isolated conversation with a zombie and potential for future brain eating seemed more appropriate. I'm going to try and rework the Zombie-man stuff for next week. Plus we get the benefit of starting a new arc on a Monday instead of a Friday.
