Would this scenario have played out the same if she'd have told him before George's zombification? Who knows... luckily I don't have to really have that information as I have this written in this order. I'd like to think John would have still taken it in stride-- just maybe his hiding behind a door would have happened here, instead.

This was originally outlined as a three panel where the first two panels were in one panel, then John's first responses in panel four were part of the second panel... leaving the last line as the only line in the final panel. I think this is paced better. It's also more visually distinct from the previous comic as the layout would have be closer.
