[...] Hijinks Ensue (click link or picture above for full sized version of the comic) did this great strip to show off what came to mind when he heard about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies- quite possibly the only book that can ever draw men into world that Jane Austen created. It’s a good poke at how people would be if they let themselves stay ‘proper’ even in the event of an outbreak. [...]

That's where I first heard of it, too!
I love Wait, Wait.

As someone currently in their final year of an English BA I am forced to disagree. Pride and Prejudice is frankly fairly terrible. While Austen does have a certain flair for witticism that is refreshing to see, the novel simply was not engrossing. I see your Austen and Raise you a Samuel Clemens. "Classic… A book which people praise and don't read."

While I love the comic, I am sad that the masses had not had the pleasure of reading Jane Austen, who is certainly not hoity-toity. Her characterizations are hilarious and the stories are a critique of the novels of sensibility, rather than being a novel of sensibility as most people seem to think. Yes, I have a BA in lit, and found most of the novels of that time period to be dreadful.

I'll end with a quote from Jane. "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."

The only thing that would make this comic better is if I was getting fisted by a zombie in the last frame

That's how you can tell that she's a real lady like me.

I like how she still keeps her pinky stuck out in proper tea-drinking fashion whilst her brains are being eaten.

"Carrier swan" — LMAO!

I must say, Joel, that as a bordering-on-obsessive-fan of all things period (particularly Victorian), I love this comic. You did an excellent job replicating the Austen-esque look.

And the thought of Pride & Prejudice with zombies is oh so awesome! Admittedly, I couldn't stand to read any of Austen's books myself (mostly cuz they were during college and I didn't have the patience back then to try and understand them), so I think this idea would make it more appealing for me to give 'em another shot.
