…Of The Living Dead Before Christmas
(Alternate Title: “Zombiesplode!”)
Tindómiel Muinamir caps off the week of Fancy Bastard holiday guest comics with her zombie-fied Santa tale. I was super excited when Tindómiel (Christine) agreed to contribute a comic since I was already a fan of her artwork for Jonathan Coulton’s t-shirt design contest (hers is HERE), and her costume making/songwriting/singing/violin…ing ability.
My favorite part of this comic (besides all of it) is that Eli and I are asleep on the couch in our regular clothes, and Josh is in silken PJ’s. You might think they are just PJ’s, but I promise you they are delicate and silken.
Check out the “making of” process HERE.
Happiest of holidays to all you Fancy Bastards. Enjoy your families, your friends and your food.
Update:
It seems The FSM’s noodley appendage has other plans for me. Family obligations have made comicing impossible for the last several days. I have one that I want to get out before the end of the year, but right now I can say exactly when it will be.
Happy Holidays!

Update 2:
Looks like VG Cats unknowingly made the sequel to this comic (HERE).
A Christmas-Horror-Zombie flick with geek protagonists (one gay, I might add) is an idea whose time has come!
If you want to focus on the geek angle, you could call it "Tron of the Dead." For the gay angle, I think "Daddy of the Dead" might work.
OMG i just noticed the stockings! That is fucking awesome.
And Josh's pjs are not only delicate and silken, but mauve.
I'd say it's more of a pale lilac.
I must need to calibrate my monitor.

Ladies 4 dudes?
BOOMER!!!
Oh yeah, and I have a bit of a behind the scenes peek on the making of this comic, if you are so inclined… http://miri-corco.vox.com/library/post/night-of-t…
This is AWESOME! Especially since my boyfriend and I have been playing L4D almost nonstop since we got it.
I love the reindeer Smoker on the roof! Great job Tin!
Kick ass! Why didn't I know Tindomiel could draw? An excellent end to an excellent week of guest comicry.
i only ask for guest comics from people that i KNOW can draw. Contrary to popular belief, art is an important part of comics. Stick figures start to ware thin after a while.
Wonderful comic. Love the worms in Santa's bellybutton. And the reindeer are great!
Merry X-Men, everyone!
And a Spidey New Year!
Mmmmmmm chocolate bacon.
Joel, I know this is your baby and we all ROFL heartily at your work, but this week's guest comicry (ty Dram) has been very successful in terms of FB response and a good showcase of the talent amongst our lil group. May I suggest some semi-regular guest spots from now on? Something for the Vault perhaps?
I'm about to embark on my mammoth Japanese cooking fest so God speed, you Fancy Bastards and I'll catch you all soon!
Bad ass!
But it raises a question: would YOU shotgun Santa to the face to ensure the survival of mankind?
I'd do it regardless.
Oh how I wish I had a 360… This is def. my favorite guest strip!
ok i *just* realized that one of the reindeer is a smoker. awesome.
I dont know what that means but since everyone else does I will play along.
A smoker…? He doesn't know what one is? L4D, the zombie that rapes you with his tongue?
Despite this being over 3 years old, I do not play video games. So, no, I didnt know what the reference meant.
We meet again, zombie santa!
This has to be my favorite of the guest comics, and that says alot because they are all excellent. I envision the next panel being Josh yanked out the window by Rudolph the red-tongued Smoker.
RELOADING!
Excellent. 😀 I just can't stop staring at Santa. Ikeep scrolling back up to look at him.
By the by, I did picture Josh's PJs as silky. Seeing I own a set just like them, but slightly less gay. Being a female and all.
I do love the childishly innocent scampering up the stairs, too. It's probably my favourite part.
when guest comics are needed I will dip back into this well for certain. Plus I dont know that many other well known cartoonists, so I cant imagine they would do a guest strip for me.
It's just a boomer and like, 10 common infected.
