Well, we here at the ZRC have been very pleased this week. The auction preparations are going great, donations are coming in left and right, and we seem to have entered into a productive dialogue with Ask Dr. Eldritch vis a vis Zombie Rights and negative stereotypes regarding Zombie odors.

Don’t worry, Mr. Nichols. Your comic, and demonstrated committment to increased sensitivity for the Differently Animated, Metabolically Challenged, whatever term you prefer, is still well-received overall at ZRC Headquarters.

Some of your merchandise, however… ahem.

Blasting Zombies.. with a shotgun? Really?

Simple joys indeed. We’re just going to set these shirts aside and assume that they date from a somewhat less enlightened period of Ask Dr. Eldritch.

(Just as an aside, why do horror movies/books/comics utilize shotguns so heavily against Zombies? Shotguns rely mostly on soft-tissue damage for their kills, which makes them uniquely *un*suited for fighting most hypothetical Differently Animated individuals. The fiendish Max Brooks famously advises Living Supremacists to eschew guns altogether, in favor of bladed weapons.)

One question is helping to keep me up at night, however.

Why Tab?
