Dis guy's the one.

  • Amen, sister!

    So the best way to choose guys is based on their smell and physical attractiveness, right?

    {But if/when men dare to use physical attractiveness as one criterion for choosing a girl - well then, they are being superficial, shallow, sexist, objectifying pigs!)

    Girl Power forever,

    Hipp O. Krit

    These whiny men's rights people--wouldn't know great humor if it bit them in the--

    Myself, I always love a gratuitous joke involving the living dead.

  • Dis Guys

    Delicious pun in the title of the strip.

    As to her dilemma, she should try to forgive herself. As Dean Martin once sang: "Everybody loves a zombie, sometime..."

  • @ Marianne Trench

    Actually, I ("whiny men's rights supporter) loved today's trip - and had a good laugh over the ending. [Tim Burton would approve]

    But I couldn't help but notice that if Carol wrote the same exact tale - but with the genders reversed - every feminist who read it would savagely criticize it/Carol for its 'sexist/misogynist/shallow' message. That's the hypocrisy I am alluding to.

    My point is that the comic is funny, and would/should stay that way regardless of the protagonist's gender. It's okay to want to date someone (partly/mostly) because you think they are beautiful/handsome, people. You're not shallow for doing so - even if you are a straight man!
