Hey, Look! A Writer Fellow! 
Never regret a zombie minute 🙂
Never. Your next zombie minute might be your last.
I wonder, is a zombie minute shorter than a New York minute?
It depends. If a zombie is munching on your brains during that minute, the zombie minute is interminable.
Hey I’ve played that particular zombie. Not fun. Between smashing several plants in a single blow with that telephone pole and throwing that circus zombie on his back, he is one formidable foe. Seems to me with all of the snow that the only sensible thing to do is to draw him and thus remind all of us that sunflowers will shine again.

Why, Corey! You never struck me as a Plants Vs. Zombies kinda gal! Good for you!
Do tell me your thoughts on Angry Birds.
nice drawing.
T’anks!
Nice!!
You’re nice, too!
Hey, if the Zombies on the popular show looked like that, I’d watch it! 😀
I concur. Walking Dead zombies lack whimsy, don’t they?
Rick says the story line is great and I would appreciate the writing but he knows that blood and guts hanging off bodies is not my idea of fun!
I agree. I prefer my gritty basic cable dramas to be about science teacher meth kingpins and/or corrupt lawyers.
Ha Ha…I see we watch similar shows! 😀
I knew you were a wise woman, Mrs. P.
Good choice.
I concur.
You, my friend, have your priorities straight. 🙂
Just getting myself in the right frame of mind up for the inevitable zompocalypse.
Smart…very smart. 😉
That’s a seriously well-fed zombie! Hope he doesn’t teach any of his tricks to other zombies or else mankind won’t have a chance 😉
Just think of it; all of that bulk is the result of a all-brain diet.
Hope that’s a diet that doesn’t catch on 😉
I hear it tastes like chicken.
I’m in finals week. It’s not nice to draw caricatures of students dragging themselves from test to test.
Students during finals never looked that good.
I guess it’s bring your kid to lunch day? [Instead of work…cuz zombies would just be out looking for food/brains all the time. If this is an image from Plants vs. Zombies or Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I know too little of the game.]
This is Plants Vs. Zombies, the only place where the decaying undead can almost be sorta cute.
Nothing to regret there.
I’m glad you agree.
I read an entire blog post, or even a book!, in the expression on your Zombie’s face. He doesn’t want to be there. He’s being led by the child Zombie on his back, and he’d rather be home watching TV with a beer in hand and his feet up on the ottoman. I feel sorry for the Zombie. But I applaud his sacrifice to keep Zombie child entertained.
I never thought of him as a zombie parent. And now I can think of him no other way!
So cute. Even zombies give piggyback rides 🙂
Or sure. All brains and no play make zombie a dull boy!
Fabulous!
Thanks, my friend!
Good thinking Mike.
I try.
Awesome zombie pic!
Thanks. Remember be if you ever write a zombie novel. I’ll do your cover.
Haha, thank you, but something tells me that’s not in my future.
Think of it, a medical outbreak that turns the population into a mass of decaying zombies! The thing writes itself.
You’ve just described the TV show, The Strain. And that one spreads by worms in the skin. Lovely.
I’m sure you could write something medical oriented and considerably less gross.
Fun! I like the game too. 🙂
My boy is nuts about it. That and Minecraft.
That is a giant zombie if it’s carrying around a power pole.
Yep, brain diets make for big, strong zombies.
They avoid sprouts when they can.
I imagine they’re missing a few key enzymes for the digestion of any plant matter.
Yep, no need to invite them over for Loper side dishes. They won’t come.
Kind of weird, Mike… I like it. You’re now in my weirdo collective. 🙂
Speaking of which – do you remember my dwarf African frogs? Well, my daughter gave me a poinsettia plant around Christmas time, and of course it’s dying now… and was sitting next to the frog bowl. A poinsettia petal fell into the water and killed them. Apparently they are poisonous. Who knew??? Did you know that? So I’m getting more frogs because I miss them. You better not be laughing 🙂
Your house must be a magical place, Kelly, where Christmas trees flop over without provocation, weird fruits are scattered and left to rot in the basement, folks walk around wearing thimbles to keep the static electricity at bay, and frogs drop dead due to reckless poinsettia placement.
I am beginning to worry about you, my friend.
Yep – you’ve summed up what you know of me very well! But not to worry, it’s a very happy household 🙂 You are a really talented artist, Mike! I do like that hulk-zombie creature up there with your mini-me!
Thanks, Kelly.
But please do consider writing a memoir. Your home life is gold.
LOL! Good idea! 🙂
Best jolly green zombies ever. I love the bucket. If I had a bucket like that, I’d have a zombie child too. Must get a bucket.
For the record, you can get a bucket without the zombie child. Zombiless buckets are fairly commonplace, actually.
But isn’t the whole point of the bucket to put the zombie child in it? I mean, it’s not like I’m going to mop the floor or wash windows. More like that old song: There’s a zombie in the bucket, dear Liza . . .
No, you have the lyric wrong: There’s a salamander in the bucket, dear Liza…
Ohhh, I do stand corrected! If I ever properly win a doodle, I want a salamander in a bucket. Speaking of which, we have a doodle museum concept to talk about soon . . .
Indeed we do! And we shall.
As a rule I am not a fan of zombies, but, I love this. I’m glad he asked so nicely.
I’m not a fan of zombies either. My son, on the other hand…
The drawing was worth it. No regrets. 😀
Totally worth it. Alex even got the thing framed. It now resides at the head of his bed.
Nine-year-olds are peculiar, aren’t they?
For zombies, they’re very cute.
Zombies aren’t known for their cuteness, really.
Your son is one lucky kid! Zombies, though. Hmmm. Better watch your back, especially at night when they come out of the woodwork. Or is that termites. Either way, I’m thinking you need to get some sort of repellant. Perhaps eau de brussels sprouts.
If I had to make a choice between being surrounded by zombies or being surrounded by Brussels sprouts, I’m picking zombies.
I don’t know. At least Brussels sprouts won’t eat your brains. But then again, if Brussels sprouts align themselves with Aaron Reynolds’ “Creepy Carrots,” or the green beans from David LaRochelle’s “How Martha Saved Her Parents from Green Bean,” zombies may indeed be a safer bet.
Don’t even get me started about green beans…
Zombies. Hm, that should pass for Multicultural (Book) Day. Why not?!
Absolutely! Can you think of a single non-fiction children’s book about zombies in history? I can’t. It’s a criminal oversight!
Interesting idea. “The History of Zombies in America.” Sounds pretty good. Think it would sell?
Best. Drawing. Ever. That is all.
Aw, Dusty, you say the nicest things!
But it’s true! (I am a bit of a zombie fan)
I’m not a zombie fan, but I would be a fool to not have a defense strategy for the looming zompocalypse.
Some of us (most?) don’t have that many arrows in our quiver. There’s a blog writing arrow, a Google Chrome arrow, a play with the dog arrow, but no drawing arrow. Dang.
As long as you have an arrow to shoot zombies, you’re fine.
In that instance, I will employ my hiding-under-the-bed arrow.
Wise move.
Nice!
T’anks!
Ha ha ha! Sometimes ya just gotta do whatcha gotta do! eh? 😉
Yep. Ya gotta.
Haha, awesome! Wish I could get away with presenting a drawing to my readers when I can’t find the time to write a blog. I’d lose my entire audience in one post if I attempted it, so I’ll stick with the occasional flower in my notebook. 😉
Forgive me, I’m not a zombie aficionado. Is that the zombie’s kid on its back, or its evil mini master calling all the shots?
You wouldn’t lose me as a blog follower if you tried a doodle!
Go on! You know you wanna!
