Name this zombie!

This handsome devil needs a name. All suggestions welcome, except 'Bob', because while Bob is an excellent name, damn near everybody has a Bob or two in their webcomic.

This undead fellow is old, and like most old people, especially cranky. Although his brain is largely rotted away, he inexplicably retains residual wit and attitude, and has a propensity for sarcasm and bitterness. Not to mention, of course, his irrational hatred of all living things.

He enjoys candle-lit dinners for two, long walks on moonlit beaches, cuddling up by a roaring fire on a chilly night, and eating the raw brains of freshly slain victims.

Thanks in advance for name suggestions.

M&M's "Thaddeus" rocks the house! Can I change my suggestion to that?

Warren · Post by **Warren** » Sat May 08, 2004 9:11 pm

Paul. Most definately.

Or Ringo. Like on "Pulp Fiction".

Hmm. Thaddeus is intruiging. Someone also suggested Sven, since he "sorta looks like a viking, only, you know, kind of rotting."

"By the by, we've been meaning to ask: what do you shade with?"

Good old fashioned India Ink, diluted in water. Looks nice, or at least as nice as possible without photoshop (which is expensive, and I'm too impatient to learn to use it anyway). India Ink goes on smooth, and gently exfoliates the scalp while enriching hair folicles with a proven blend of essential vitamins and minerals to bring out the natural shine and elegance.

I understand a similar effect can be achieved by smearing graphite with your finger, and this method apparently doesn't deform the surface of the paper as much as the wet ink does, but I usually manage to flatten the sheets in the scanner enough so that it doesn't present a problem.

Anyway, keep the suggestions coming if anyone is struck by sudden inspiration for zombie names. And thanks for your help folks!

Speaking as possibly the only other stripper here to have featured Undead Vikings, I will point out that Vikings did not wear horned helmets. Its a myth. Just ask the Viking Answer Lady. Most likely, it was those GOD-DAMNED Romanticists who added that incorrect detail. They were the UTTER BASTARDS who made fairies into beautiful naked ladies instead of the horrid, obnoxious fiends they originally were.

The way I understand it, there was a Norse illustration or a carving of a horned person, but most likely it was an image of a god, and not an actual representation of something real people wore.

Back when there were Vikings, there were no Svens. There were Sveins:

Svein Alfsson(of Dalir)
Svein Brynjolfsson
Svein Hakonarson (King of Norway)
Svein Haraldsson Fork-beard (King of Denmark)
Svein of Lyrgia
Svein Ulfsson (King of Denmark)

other viking names:
Vefrod
Thorlaug
Thormod
Throttolf
Thorkel
Thorgrim
Turf
Snorri
Svart
Runolf
Ref
Scarf
Ketil
Kodran
Kolbein
Kormak
Jorund
Hogni
Hungerd
Hunrod
Hakon
Gardi
Gaut
Geirmund
Gellir
Grim
Gudmund

But maybe I'm being too technical...
