Hey there everyone, although I don't know how many readers I have out there, but I hope you are well! I thought I have sworn off creating comics, but have the urge to get back into it, but I don't know, so I am leaving it up to you... Who wants to read more Rodney the Zombie, with small installments of Yarn-Man and the Old Lady, and Don Knotts? I could put one to two pages up a week and just have this blog that way, or just draw it for myself, but what do you think?
-Whitney
P.S.-Readers, please leave comments...even if it's just to tell me you are out there...I want to hear from you!
Rodney the Zombie. Issue #2. 'Caretaker for a Day!'
Previously in Rodney the Zombie, Issue #1 Hitting the Help Wanteds: Rodney happens to be a zombie...and an actor, but has been fired from a movie because he refuses to be a typical zombie; he won't be typecast into a normal role for a zombie or act like every other zombie in the film industry. Upon leaving the studio he waits for the bus, and just his luck, it begins to rain. When he arrives home he proceeds to get drunk in front of the television and fall asleep. He is suddenly woken up by the delivery of the morning newspaper, and decides its time to "hit the help wanteds."
Issue #2 is a continuation of the previous story that Rodney is looking for a job, but there is also an addition to the story to make it more interesting. This is where the real story begins for Rodney. Come back each week and see the story unfold.
Rodney the Zombie. Issue #1. 'Hitting the Help Wanteds.'
Rodney #1 is the introduction for the story. Its shorter than the rest of the issues, but that is why I am not saying much about the story. Although, I will tell you that I made this comic before I was a student in the Comics 101 class, so the drawing in this issue and the next are a bit off.
Its a fun and kooky comic that doesn't follow any of the normal knowledge of zombies. I thought of a character and thought of a situation and let the ideas flow and let the story play out. I really enjoy what has happened and hope you enjoy what will be presented in the future.
Zombie Apocalypse Disaster Kit - Be Prepared!
Heed my words: The Zombie Apocalypse will happen and you'll need to be prepared for when it does (or when any other disaster occurs)!
I was raised in a home with two parents that were always prepared for anything. My mom always made sure that we had enough water, food and canned goods stocked in case something happened, and my father had on hand plenty of survival gear. I was raised to always be prepared. Being from Joplin, Missouri and having moved to Atlanta, Georgia in March, I narrowly missed the disaster that struck in May. The tornado only hammered the fact in my head that you never know what will happen and when, so always be prepared...even for the Zombie Apocalypse!
The list below is pulled from ready.gov, but there is a more extended list on the American Red Cross website, which has a link at the bottom of this post if you'd like more information and more supplies to consider.

The list below is pulled from ready.gov, but there is a more extended list on the American Red Cross website, which has a link at the bottom of this post if you'd like more information and more supplies to consider.
At a minimum, have the basic supplies listed below. Keep supplies in an easy to carry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate.
- Water: one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation

- Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both
- Flashlight and extra batteries
