If you’re like most people, you’ve said to yourself, “Gee, I like cats and I like zombies. If only I could enjoy both at the same time.”
Today’s Zombie Cat is for you.
It’s like the Walking Dead crossed with Garfield—revolting and yet kinda cute. Credit (or blame) for this disturbing visual goes to my pal Mike (The Monster) Pascale.
I also want to mention and thank my brother-in-law Rich (The Rascal) Hernandez for the basic idea for Zombie Cat and the “Last Hiss” title for today’s comic. If dead talking pets become the next Internet rage, it’s his fault.
Finally, I owe a big thanks to Diego (The Dude) Jourdan Pereira for the Last Kiss comic that we zombified! (See it and the original 1954 comic art below.)
Artist unknown. Art from Ten-Story Love #196, 1954.

Whip out your wooden stakes. Polish your crucifixes. Melt your silverware into bullets. Halloween is coming and no one is safe…
…from the silly, horror gags Mike Pascale and I have created.
