    ….can’t be an invasion.

    Zombies are us, we can’t invade us.

  • Robert

    Vegetarian Zombie wants graaaaaaaaains.

  • Takuan

    where’s Zombie Waldo?

  • apoxia

    This would look great on the roof of my dentist’s office. All that blood might freak out some patients though.

  • Anonymous

    I love the zombie tackling the guy through the window.

  • nanuq

    I think I see Waldo’s head but it’s hard to tell when the rest of the body has been eaten.

  • Anonymous

    Looks like Shakedown Street.

  • Spikeles

    I love those kinds of things, it’s always fun to try to find the funny bits, or making up stories about why those two over there are sitting on the roof.

    It needs to be bigger. MUCH bigger, like 5 times this size made up of a couple of city blocks.

    It reminds me of the LEGO version a while back.

  • fataltourist

    In light of recent zombie holocausts, this is wholly inappropriate.

  • jimh

    Waste of zombies.

  • jaytkay

    Dang, that’s near me!

  • mackenzi

    Looks like Nairobi, Kenya. Place of all love.

  • Takuan

    why aren’t there any sunflowers?

    okay…whats up with being so gross? whats the point? really i’m just trying to understand. can somebody rescue me from my ignorance

  • EricT

    The post of Lucy’s work the other day got me into looking over her stuff and I really like it.
    It is nice to see her experiment with different styles over time and saddly I do love the zombie genre. She has a really cool Shawn of the Dead tribute piece. I even went so far as to buy her book, French Milk, for my 15 year old daughter. I like comics that give you insight into others lives like Dustin Land and even though it is fictional, Questionable Content.

  • Takuan

    oh. OK

    okay…whats up with being so gross?

    I don’t get the interest in zombies either, Moremis. Or horror movies. When I was in a theater watching Pulp Fiction and the audience laughed at a guy getting shot in the head, I realized I lived in a weird culture I would never understand.

  • bibliogrrl

    Hey! It’s Uptown! Cool.

    looks like a kozyndan drawing.

  • Eduardo Padoan

    Moremis, Jaytkay, I could explain the appeal of this kind of thing, but then I’d have to kill you.

  • ret3

    If Richard Scarey did Zombietown instead of Busytwen…

  • Anonymous

    Ugh, thank goodness real zombies can’t climb!

  • slates81

    Gotta be a Romero-purist here and say that while I love this piece, I’d love it even more in good, old, Night of the Living Dead-esque black and white.

  • thesk8ingtoad

    Does this remind anyone else of the children’s magazine ‘Highlights’?

  • Anonymous

    I stumbled across Lucy two years ago; I love that she’s started popping up everywhere. I’m never this ahead of the curve.

  • Anonymous

    she’s attractive, an incredible artist, quite comedic, and likes zombies, I’m in love.
    I don’t know what it is about a lady that gets “the zombie thing” but they are typically moer laid back and easy going people that appreciate the morbid humour life has to offer. *shrugs* I’m weird…

  • nandorocker

    omg Lucy’s fantastic, so glad to see her featured here. So talented. I have one of her drawings framed on my wall, from the Art Institute student fair she took part in.
    Also glad the zombies are destroying the Riv, that place ain’t what it used to be…
