Their quest to find somewhere safe and secure is half the point of the comic. It's just that they are content to have a slow pace with the show, so we're not there yet.Originally Posted by Miriel
Also remember that the outbreak is still fairly young and they're probably still hopeful of rescue, which means they'd want to stay fairly close to Atlanta.
Well, he's not the smartest guy in the world. He's probably heard that old thing about it being quicker to saw through your own wrist than a pair of handcuffs and didn't even think of other options. Or maybe he did try the other stuff and felt it wasn't getting him anywhere.Why did redneck dude cut off his hand when he could have hacked at the rusty, worn down looking piping or just broken/cut his thumb to wiggle out of the cuffs?
If you mean the cause, the comic is seven years old and they've still not explained this. If you mean just talking about events during the first days of the outbreak, where it began, how it spread, etc., I'm not sure but I guess they aren't fond to relive memories of the whole world being devoured, billions of people dying, and so forth? I dunno. The start of the outbreak was probably also when most of them watched their friends and family get eaten or turned, too.Why is no one explaining how all this zombie stuff started out in the first place?
That was derpy. I think they just wanted to add some drama "omg they're going to find us now!". He was pretty enthused about the car though, he probably didn't want to ditch it.Why the hell did Asian dude drive all that way with the alarms blaring?
I was a bit weirded out by this as well. But I've thought a lot about zombie apocalypses, and I've realized that there probably aren't that many chores to do. Get supplies, keep a lookout, cooking and cleaning, and washing clothes. Beyond that people won't have a great deal to do. Given that the men seem to be the ones on lookout and getting the supplies (Probably more due to their existing skills than any actual sexism) it was probably felt to be fair that the women take up the remainder.While I fully expect a significant amount of reverting back to traditional gender roles in times of apocalyptic crisis, I don't buy for a second that 100% of the washing would be done by women while one man stands around smoking a cigarette and another man sloshes around playfully looking for frogs. How does that make any sense? And the lady with the gun doesn't even know that the safety is on despite currently having to fight for her life? Not sure what exactly they're trying to illustrate with the gender dynamics on this show.
