    Owen, this is the one time in your life when it’s really OKAY to kill someone….

    Go figure! I find the official site and I’m not disappointed at all. I’m so coming here for updates instead of “the Duck” perhaps..maybe. Ah, heck, I’ll do both.

    By the way..that lady…quite possibly she’s more mentally disturbed than Owen in a long run. This is getting interesting!

    It’s times like these, when someone needs a rape whistle 😉 Now if they were on a level playing field (Marianne didn’t DRUG Owen) I wonder who would win in a fight…? Oh the possibilities… 😛

      how would YOU feel as someone cuts you up and takes out your internal organs, when you unwillingly have to watch.

      I think its cruel 🙁 Owen doesn’t deserve it. Plus, humans are overpopulating the earth anyway. We kill animals like deer and wolves when we believe they are overpopulating or killing, but, HUMANS are the ones who have houses built every 20 ft. Dx

        I am SO SICK of people worrying about freaking ANIMALS before other human BEINGS! You sit here and spout about how we don’t care about the bunnies and whales or whatever when small children all over the world are being murdered every day. 40 women are raped every DAY in just one of the many african countries. Where the hell is your compassion for them? They are people. Animals are just animals. They won’t ever be anything but that. They are a material for us to use. Whether it be food, or companionship.

        Look, if Owen showed up and took a few bites outta ANYONE i loved, you can bet I’d cut him open for fun. Think about all the families he’s destroyed.

        If you don’t have humanity, then I’m sad for you.

        Last thing, who are you to say why she does it? She obviously has a medical degree. Idk about you, but I don’t spend thousands of dollars and work my ass off in school for 8 (minimum) years to advance in my “hobby”. I think she takes her work seriously, and if there WAS a zombie apocalypse then I would want her around. Yes, I feel VERY bad for Davey but Owen is a monster. The end.
        2011-08-11T06:08:17.730338 Riz Carmarti,
        Well, you seem to forget the fact that creatures do have a mind of their own. Studies prove that animals, like many humans, do in fact believe in a higher being. Animals do have feelings as well. Animals give up their lives for one another many times. They are loyal. Just because they do not have thumbs, they shouldn’t be seen as any less than a human. They aren’t the ones destroying the earth. The reason I pointed out the fact we have so many houses, is because there used to be so much forest and empty land. Now look. Some parts of the world, like Hong Kong, won’t even allow you to see the stars.

        Just because something kills humans for its food doesn’t mean it should automatically be killed. Owen has feelings, and he takes care of those cats. He hates humans, and I’m sure he has a good reason other than being a zombie. I know I said this before, but imagine if someone were cutting you open. Even if you couldn’t feel the pain and it wouldn’t kill you, you would be scarred for life. Davey, a GOOD zombie, had that happen to him. Its a form of torture, and I wouldn’t consider it any medical experiment. Marianne does it for fun. She’s interested in cutting him up, not how she can help. She doesn’t care about him or Davey or Chaney. Its just her hobby.
        2011-08-10T18:11:17.500086 Carmarti Riz,
        uh… he’s a monster eating human beings. Deers and wolves will only EVER be just deers and wolves but any one person could change the world drastically. A deer or wolf never could. People get the “luxury” of survival because we know and have adapted how to DO it.

        When wolves and deer can start using free will and changing their environment to suit THEM, then maybe I’ll see your argument. Until then…

        CATCH THE FREAK, MARIANNE~!

          this comic is win beyond compare.

            woah. I agree with um. completely… sheesh. its a comic. why we gotta bring in REAL emotions with it?

            Riz, i was just stating my opinion. It’s cool if you think the fact he likes cats redeems him from all the human beings he’s nommed nommed on. And I apologize some yutz here started using all kinds of exclamation marks to get their point across. I am not affiliated with them.

            I agree with um. as well.

            The only thing is, I have seen many deaths in my life. I understand people have views and their own way of thinking, but mine is the way I believe. I can’t just watch someone torture another soul.
            And Anonymous, its people like you that I really CANNOT stand. Thats all I’m going to say, because I don’t wish to be mean at all. I don’t want a simple debate over Marianne and Owen stop us all from enjoying the comic. I really only keep replying because I come back to check for the next page haha

            So uhhh…. awkward moment until the next page…….

        No one should be tortured. No human/sentient zombie can cast an unbias judgement on the acts of another.

        Owen needs to be stopped. Making him dead-dead is the only way to do that. At most, the ‘torture’ will tick him off. He’s a hardened and twisted individual and I can only see him taunting the ‘good doctor’. He is nothinging like Davey and it would never have the same effect on him.

        Fact is… if she catches him and has her fun using him as a lab rat, he WILL eventually escape and have a whole new list of reasons to go on a more intense killing spree.

        I love his character, I love her character, but the only way to stop Owen will be to kill him. He will never be ‘reformed’ one day, he will always be a homicidal maniac (with a facinating character and awsome design). Catching him and torturing him will only result in a more angry, more dangerous Owen because she’s not going to terminate her only subject should she catch him and he will eventually escape because of this. Someone, at some point, will eventually screw up and he will get away. If they want to stop him… they will have to re-kill him. It’s really he only way.

        Arguably, you could say they would only need to contain him long enough for natural decay to put a stopper on his physical abilities but I don’t see that happening.

        I am so sorry you have to endure all those typos. Android phones are not the best for typing.

          I think Owen might have been abused or raised in an abusive household as a human for him to be this messed up as a “thinking” zombie. I could only imagine what kind of situation he’s coming from, which is why I kind of have a soft spot for the homicidal killer. I could only imagine the screwed up childhood he could have had. As for Marianne, she’s a little on the sadistic side, isn’t she? I understand where some of you are coming from with the whole degree thing, but, she could have at least blindfolded Davey while she was cutting him up. It’d probably sound like going to the dentist and having a tooth taken out then. 😀

            February 21, 2013, 10:37 pm | #

            Actually, I remember Jess explaining someplace that Owen was raised by a very sweet couple in a nice home- though he committed suicide at, what was it, 14, 15? MY theory- and this isn’t canon, so don’t quote me on it- is that Chainey was a veeeerrryyy different individual alive than the ‘Tony we all know and love. Personally, I think Chainey probably fucked up somewhere along the line when the two knew each other, while alive, whether it was bullying or just plain making Owen’s life miserable, but I can’t shake the feeling that Chainey’s played a big hand in Owen’s messed up head.

            Now, that certainly doesn’t justify Owen’s actions, not by a LONGSHOT. But at the very least, we know Owen’s in Sov City because he’s out for Chainey’s blood. …again. 😐 So I think O’s killing sprees are more for his own sick enjoyment: it looked, to ME, anyway, like Chainey’s slow destruction is something more precious to Owen than killing, probably more than eating: and goddamn, he’s following Chainey around- there’s gotta be a reason for that!

            …Son of a bitch. We need a real, genuine forum for this kind of shit. I’d go on it, true story.

          you make an EXTREMELY good point, dude. well thought-out. one thing I don’t agree with is this, though: i think Marianne’s one of the only things that could probably put a scare on that boy. It’s easy to forget it, but Owen’s just a little kid.. intellectually mature for his age, sure, but a little kid all the same.
          Chances are that he’s not going to be all ‘lol umad?’ while under the knife. Gotta remember the MB kids are… well, KIDS. Owen moreso than anyone else, he’s like 13 or something.
          Also I love that Jess isn’t the least bit put-off by our collective nerdiness. <3
          2011-08-12T21:28:38.427968 carmarti everyone,

          I just want to apologize for opening a freakin can of worms. I just thought it was a little unfair that no one was supporting marianne.

          But jess likes it so WHATEVER!! Love you, Jess!
