Okay, I fully understand some people hating John after this... but, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's not entirely out of character for him. Go back and read the comics that I have done in the past and you'll see John isn't really role model material.... He's just typically on the losing side of things. He thinks he's coming out on top here, but in reality, if he were to act like a normal human being-- the two of them might actually have a chance at something. Instead, he's risking it all for another possible/probable romp on the floor of Valerie's apartment. The idea I have for Friday lets me get back to a character I've been meaning to for a couple of months and helps move the story along. Next week, I'll probably do some one-offs and possibly even another "A Zombie's Survival Guide" strip... I haven't done one of them in a long time.
