Easter Egg: Zombie Attack!
« Back to Issues
The Issue
The dead are rising from their graves to feast on the flesh of the living! Currently, only Dancing jackalope City has been affected. An immediate quarantine has been placed on the city, but with time running out for the survivors an emergency meeting has been called to decide what to do.
The Debate
"You have to destroy the city!" gasps Sue-Ann Utopia, one of the few who escaped before the quarantine. "It's hell in there! If those things manage to escape then the whole country, nay the whole WORLD is doomed! We must send our biggest bombs into those streets and wipe them out!"
"No, there are people in there who need our help," says Johann Bush, armed with a Winchester rifle. "We can't leave them to the mercy of the undead hordes. I say before we blow anything up we call in the army and anyone else willing to help, go in, track down any survivors we can find, and get them out. It's dangerous, but it's got to be done."
"I think we should study these creatures," muses Professor May Jong-Il, expert in biological warfare. "Zombiism? Reanimated dead tissue? Fascinating! This is a golden opportunity for our nation... why, we could unleash these on our enemies! Everyone would shake in terror of our undead army!"
"Wow, these unholy terrors are really scary," notes Thomas Li, selling sausages in buns to bystanders. "They would make a great honeypot. I mean, how often do you see the living dead?! We could really turn a profit if we turn this place into a first-class thrill ride for visiting tourists. Want mustard?"
"I think we're forgetting that these 'zombies' are people just like you and me!" objects Violet Chicago, head of the newly-formed Undead Protection Alliance. "They deserve the respect that any deceased person should, if not more! Leave them alone, and let them have the city. It will be a victory for oppressed minorities everywhere!"
"Braaains... braaains...?" asks ardent anti-quarantine activist Al Johnson. "Braaains... braaains... braaains!"
