Q&A with author Scott Easley Jr.
“What is an actual zombie in your comic book universe and what do you consider a zombie?”
Well its not exactly what we thought them to be. They aren’t these flesh eating cannibals we depict them to be in the movies and TV… OR ARE THEY… those movies are all just an easier way of explaining that we are all zombies. We are all flesh eating cannibals, destroying each other for promise of another meal and a place to sleep at night. Competing day in and day out to fight for people that feed off your fear and misery for companies you never liked. the only “promise” of income they tell us is to give up your dreams, and go suffer for them. They want you to give up what you are good at and what you love doing to become a soulless shell walking the offices of your 9-5 and the sandwich/burger make lines. The easiest people to manipulate into thinking this way are the children. The next generation.
We watched our parents do the same thing giving up their talents and everything they love to do so they could die a thousand times at a place they hate. Away from the people they die to provide for. Thats the web the world has woven for us. They want us to stay put and give up the dream of seeing the world. It takes a snake to see that this is a trap.
Happiness is being with your family. Happiness is working with/for your family. Happiness is fighting for your family, and most importantly, Happiness is helping friends to become family. Happiness is doing all of those things for your family. Stop being a zombie for the fat Dorito chip bastards that run these companies, That spin these webs to keep us all miserable while they stay fat and greedy instead of helping their people. anyone that refuses to pass the baton in a relay race and thinks they can do it alone, will eventually fall with no back up and will lay broken as the others pass them by, lap by lap. Get up. go walk. walk up a hill. walk down that hill. jog. then jog up that hill, then jog down that hill. over and over again until it is effortless. Even when you are tired, remind yourself that you are preparing your heart and soul to pass the baton to those you love. Show them how to walk, how to climb that hill, How to jog up and down that hill. Show them and then you will both learn what its like TO LIVE.
What is a zombie? It is a soulless shell of a person who refuses to acknowledge their neighbor. Someone who only sees other human beings fighting in this world as another piece of meat. They are fooled into thinking that they must compete with everyone and destroy them instead of helping.
That is what a zombie is to me. scroll down and click on the comic cover page link and read the first issue of ZOMBIE WORKSHOP for free. I want to illustrate what my family is trying to tell me and that is that NOTHING is possible on your own.
Pass that baton.
